I would like to eventually begin growing my own food and herbs. Do any of you have good book recommendations for growing food, herbs, or possibly herbal medicine?...
My indoor growing space is bursting at the seams with mountain mint and some very leggy tomatoes I’m babysitting for a friend while she’s on vacation. The weather has been relatively pleasant though, so I’ve gotten a few more things potted and several more trays going now as well....
Potting continues here; there are almost eighty elderberries hanging out in our front yard right now in addition to the others (happy to share what the others are if anyone is actually curious). Overnight temperatures are still a little low for some of the transplants potted up this past week and I am running out of shelf space...
We’re halfway through potting up all the plants we’ve overwintered, but are looking at temps below freezing for the next two nights. Today will be about getting covers ready for everything and setting up ambient warmth for several of our plants that are currently flowering. On my way home from a doctor’s appointment, I...
I’m sorry for missing last week, I was so in the thick of storm cleanup I genuinely forgot how days work. As an apology, here’s a picture of one of our cherries ready to pop for spring: https://i.imgur.com/0utPGZB.jpeg...
Last autumn I stored several acorns in a 5-inch pot that was filled with potting soil and covered. I took the cover off 2 days ago to discover 7 saplings between 3 and 7 inches long. They are too big for the pot I was storing them in. Are they safe to transplant at this stage? What size pot should I transplant them in? How do I...
There are about a hundred potted perennials out on my front lawn right now as the latest wintry mix hits our area, and someone dropped off a huge box of cell trays and small pots to us yesterday. Some of them will go to our local library for their gardeners workshops and to prep for their annual plant sale fundraiser, some will...

What’s everybody doing to celebrate?
I didn’t realize how many challenges and on the fly design changes I would have building on a slope, but I think they are still coming out really nice.
Our neighborhood has a cat problem which means my garden has a cat problem. I’ve read online that some people spread chilli powder on their soil to keep cats away but I’d really rather not do that....

Spring is approaching! I’ve just set up a level 1 greenhouse (plastic tier, I’ll have to grind to upgrade to glass and metal…). Regardless, it’s exciting! My seedlings are doing well, I can’t wait for better weather! https://orbiting.observer/pictrs/image/84f1c354-d2de-4d97-b92d-ce4ff73a0657.jpeg...

We have a household of two and I just started a 43 gallon capacity rotating composting bin. Our weekly egg consumption is high and there’s an additional load of volunteering (baking) where I have to dispose of 2-3 dozen egg shells at a time....

Would it however...

I just moved to a new apartment this past weekend and I think I could fit a few plants in before the frost....
