Today I put the perimeter fence around my larger veggie garden! It doubled it in size. I still have the wrought iron black fence, and rabbit fencing inside. I was short about 5 feet of rabbit fence so I put up some extra lattice I had to block that corner. The rest was cake! I […]
So I was able to harden the seedlings successfully! Normally that’s when I kill things. Generally I forget about them and then they die from over exposure. This time I was meticulous about how much time they were out each day and brought them in properly. The only thing that happened was a little sunburn […]
My indoor tomatoes have fruit on them! I had to pollinate them myself when they had blossoms. I have never done this before but I must have done it right because the tomatoes came. 🙂 I did it with a spoon so I could catch the pollen and redistribute it to the other blossoms without […]
I got the majority of my outdoor weeding done yesterday! The vegetable garden was full of thistles and other odd looking plants I didn’t want in there. I also found a whole patch of volunteer tomatoes! They will need thinning so now I have a serious amount of tomato plants! The two strawberry plants are […]
Hi everyone! I have an updated picture of the indoor garden for you! It is growing like mad, and it’s so neat to have a bit of summer right in my dining room. The giant monster tomato plants (started Feb 1st) that are actually pretty normal size are on the far left. On the very […]
Well, in my effort to take tomatoes from seed to table 100% indoors I have created some monster tomato plants! Very tall, about 90% healthy, but no flowers to speak of…yet. Check it out: These babies (there are 4 large and one small one that took longer to germinate than the rest) are over 2.5 […]
So, the indoor garden plants are getting very big now! The tomato plants now have a regular support cage around them and are about 2+ feet tall. I am wondering when they will flower! The Cilantro continues to be prolific and I use it often in salads, breads and salsa. The Basil is also getting […]
So, the tomato plants have some yellow leaves on the bottom! That are falling off!!! The health of the over all plant is good though, so not a huge concern. Here is a picture: If a plant gets sunburned (which it can from indoor lighting as well as very hot direct sunlight) sometimes the first […]
So, the only mature cilantro plant I have seen has been staked and had a huge stem and was almost 24″ tall. I had started some seeds a few weeks back thinking that I would have to stake them at some point. I did try to stake them. They unstaked themselves within about 48 hours. […]
I have started my indoor garden! So far it consists of a small shelf, lots of shop lights with daylight bulbs and one with a grow bulb in it. I have some old pots that I am using as well as a few new seed starting trays with biodegradable seed pots inside for transplanting. The […]
