A quick garden update. I have been busy getting everything planted. A tutorial on building a wooden tomato cage.
Happy sunday friends! Last week I shared with you the diy garden markers that I threw together for my garden. Since then, I found out a way to remake them so I could write on them but not have the weather ruin them. Also happy to share that everything I planted is up! I am so excited to see the garden start to flourish! So here we go......! Above are the original ones, I used the lid of a ball jar and a sharpie permanent maker to write the names on the tag. You will still start with the ball jar lids, but this time punch out a 2" circle and hand write the veggie on the circle. Next step is to use some modge podge on a sponge brush, lightly apply it to the back of the circle and attach it to the ball lid. Now go ahead and add one layer of the modge podge, let it dry a few minutes and add another coat. I also figured out a way to add the jar lids to the popsicle stick by using E6000 glue to make them stick. You don't want to use a hot glue gun on this project as depending where you live once the sun is out you won't want the sun to melt the glue gun adhesive which it will in the direct sunlight. Now they are ready to put them into the ground! Here they are, all done!
I am currently readying myself for the push required to complete the final round of planting in the new garden. The outer wrap went in at the end of March to provide the frame that will feather the garden into the landscape and, with this planting still standing as backdrop, I have been making notes […]

My new squarefoot garden beds are coming along nicely. There are tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno peppers, onions, yellow squash, cucumbers and purple podded beans co-mingling nicely at the moment. Every morning I've made a point of getting up early to hand water the beds from the rainbarrels. With the heatwave we had this past week…
It has been an extraordinary run. Day after day, it seems, of clear sky and sunlight. I have been up early at five, before the sun has broken over the hill, to catch the awakening. Armed with tea, if I have been patient enough to make myself one before venturing out, my walk takes me […]

Recently I have been wanting to get some type of automatic watering system setup for the garden. Last year I used an automatic timer that would kick on at 9 pm and run for 30 minutes using about 50 feet of soaker hose. This year, the garden has really grown in size (and split between ... Read more
