Today was the day to start planting our onions. I wanted to get the transplants out, to make room for the squash in the sun room, and get the onion sets in. The plan was to have onions on either side of the kale that has already been direst sown, in the bed on one … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: outdoor planting – eventually. Also, we have flowers!

Our 2021 garden: planting day, indoors – and that didn’t work!
Today's priority was to start the last of the seeds indoors. I'd been preparing a bin with toilet paper tubes, as something that would allow the least root disruption when transplanting (at least, so I've read). After a couple of days, it was time to start planting the Montana Morado corn!! Aren't they gorgeous? The … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: planting day, indoors – and that didn’t work!

Morning kitties… and more, somewhere
Mornings can be difficult with so many cats in the house. Cats that like to sleep across my legs or braced against my back, then don't want to move when I try to roll over! Ginger has become one of those cats. The problem is, he lights to lean against me on the outside of … Continue reading Morning kitties… and more, somewhere

Our 2021 garden: an experiment, plus the jiggler is in!
Today I took my mother to her doctor's appointment, so I got very little garden stuff done today. Last night, however, I was able to start prepping the toilet paper tubes we'll be using to start the Montana Morado corn in. I picked up this coolant funnel long ago, because it's perfect for jobs like … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: an experiment, plus the jiggler is in!

Our 2021 garden: planting day!
We had another change in plans, today. I was supposed to take my mother to a doctor's appointment, but the clinic called and it got rescheduled to tomorrow. Which meant I could change into my grubbies and go play in the dirt! 😀 Today, we finally got most of our cold hardy seeds in the … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: planting day!

Soil tests three and four
Well, I finally got around to doing two more soil tests. You can read how the first two tests went, here, here, here and here. (Links will open in new tabs) One of the areas I tested was the soil under where we planted potatoes last year. The other sample was from the northwest corner … Continue reading Soil tests three and four

Our 2021 garden: old kitchen garden, part two
Part One here. After the girls finished planting the Strawberry Spinach, they went ahead and spaced out the concrete blocks to they would run from end to end across the garden. The gaps in between were fairly large, so they had the idea of filling them with bricks and brought a bunch over. I liked … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: old kitchen garden, part two

Our 2021 garden: old kitchen garden, part one
A change in plans. Today, I wanted to get started on the old kitchen garden, where we intend to plant the poppies. This is how it looked at the start. The hose is from the sump pump in the old basement. It has not turned on in ages. It's simply been too dry. You can … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: old kitchen garden, part one

Our 2021 garden: got them done, thanks to a new “toy”
I was going to have to head into town this afternoon, so I made sure to get out and continue working on the garden beds as early as I could. I didn't think to take a picture until after I'd hauled loads of soil onto one of the beds. Before I started on the soil, … Continue reading Our 2021 garden: got them done, thanks to a new “toy”
