The garden of 2008 has proven to be very informative. Because of all the spring rain, everything got started late. This year some plants were started indoors. This proved rather futile. It would seem there are aspects of this technique that are not fully understood yet. Then there was a problem with tillage. This update covers what has been found to date and other information that might prove useful to others. Images are at the end with descriptions. Starting Plants Indoors The problems...
Many thanks to Scott’s search prowess in finding sources, albeit hidden, for pro quality garden spades.( I have seen spades that have been sharpened so many times, that the blade was about half the starting size) Nice to know that good quality can be found with enough searching. While going to school, I spend a summer placement at a high end Nursery in Western Mass. Spending most of my time on a landscape crew. The first thing I was instructed in was the many uses of a garden spade. Sort o...
Okay, I’m lazy and a retro-grouch, I love a nice yard and gardens, but dislike extra work. Part of the problem is that I also love photography, biking, woodworking, reading, designing, and goofing off. Plus I hope to get back into fly-tying and fishing again, and maybe built a couple of new fly rods. So much to do and so little daylight. My newest grouch is the difficulty in finding lasting gardening tools. This started when I was helping a friend do some transplanting, and loaned...
This magnolia (grandiflora?) is about five years old. My wife started it from seed. Quite a process. She took the fruit from the tree in September, removed the pulpy red outer layer to reveal the seed kernels. She then put them in a ziploc with some moist potting soil and stored it in the fridge until the end of January when she potted them. Only 3 out 12 sprouted. They grow very slowly. In researching the project we found that the seed kernels may take up to 18 months to sprout (if a...
The short season make us a bit more proactive up here when it comes to getting some veggies.Today I cut the tops off three small plastic shipping drums destined for the land fill and when I have drilled for drainage and covered same with screen to keep the bugs out I will have a place to grow my banana pototoes .I was informed late last night that I will be moving my plans for my work shop on top of my square foot gardens and by the time that is finished the season will be long in the tooth t...
Well I have planted most of the seeds I will have in my garden areas and today I looked out the window, saw my shadow and I predict another 4 weeks of no planting outside. Meanwhile, in the greenhouse the seeds are transforming into Dycotyledons and so far no damp off! Yeah! The few cuttings I saved over are now dipped in root stimulant and pushed into vermiculite for rooting. My squirrels are very pregnant and have moved to their nurseries to whelp. I will move food and water...
Hello all and let me introduce myself.I’m a guy with too many hobbies/interests and I do a bit of gardening poorly too.I have a small attached greenhouse 12’ x 24’ where I over winter some of my friends and start a few annuals for our short summers.As gardening is a constant endeavor, I can show you my start with a shade garden along side of my house . I finally got the patio stones laid and have been adding perennials to this patch for about 2 years.a shade pergola lis on...
Water, water, everywhere…or how to get it there When water is available but far removed from the growing sites it is useful to have a convenient way of extending the source to accommodate the location of those sites. Standard garden hoses, while useful, have presented some logistical problems. Until the water line was extended, I had to use three or four 100’ hoses to get where I wanted to go. The water pressure I have is rather high and has a tendency to blow hoses out, even the ...
