put in a spring garden (read all 2 entries…)
Today... 7 months ago

I put in onions, lettuce (romaine and bibb), broccoli and ….corn???....what was I thinking? Was talking today to someone who said they’d heard put it in now so it’s finished by the 4th of July…someone who doesn’t garden! Had that on the brain and went and did it. Good grief.

This week, the goal is to pick up some strawberry plants, brussel sprouts and asparagus. I also want to get some big tubs for potatoes, the rest of the onions, carrots, and radishes. Going to put those on the deck, also the tomatoes and potted herbs.

Hey, CIA007 Garden Goddess….do you have suggestions for those porch plants. Still reeling over your detailed response about the geraniums. I have more questions about those, but will post over there.

cia007 is thankful!

Potato tubs...and porch plants

You might want to check out the potato grow bags I got from gardeners.com. They also have great stuff for making happy tomatoes.

One thing cool you can do as well with the container gardening and herbs is to mix them in with flowers for a pretty edible pot. Nasturtiums are easy to grow and edible too, and can grow nice among lettuce. Kale, swiss chard, arugula, and carrots look pretty too. I’m trying to do more of this sort of thing so I am also growing my own food.

Nasturtiums

sound great!! That’s a wonderful idea. I’ve never tried those, but this is the year to try everything and just see what happens…wait, that’s what happens every year around this place!
