A Seattle Chacra: What I planted
http://seattlechacra.blogspot.com/2007/04/what-i-planted.html
Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Saturday, April 7, 2007. Tuesday night (April 3) I planted my first flat of seeds and I promised to tell you what I planted. Last night I planted 3 more flats (I got faster with practice) so I'll list those as well. Following are the seeds I've planted. Note that links from the seed provider name (following the plant name) show the actual product from the vendor's web page. Links from the plant name are to other information on the plant. Impatiens, "Fla...

A Seattle Chacra: First seedling!
http://seattlechacra.blogspot.com/2007/04/first-seedling.html
Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Saturday, April 7, 2007. Before planting I sorted my seeds in reverse order by germination time. I knew I probably wouldn't get to plant everything at once, so I wanted to plant the seeds first that would take the longest to germinate. Even so, only two days after planting this seed (suggested germination time 10-15 days), I've got my first seedling! And the winner is my Gazania- a very cool striped daisy.

A Seattle Chacra: Pictures of my seed starting setup
http://seattlechacra.blogspot.com/2007/04/pictures-of-my-seed-starting-setup.html
Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Saturday, April 7, 2007. Pictures of my seed starting setup. So I've finally got pictures! Here's the seed starting table. It hangs from the ceiling by chains since the crawl space has an uneven floor. Here are some things to notice in the picture:. The fluorescent lights hang from pulleys (not visible). Normally the lights would hang 2-4 inches above the plants. Here I've raised the lamps so I have access to the flats. So I'd have more flexibility....

A Seattle Chacra: The setup, and what's wrong with watering
http://seattlechacra.blogspot.com/2007/04/setup-and-whats-wrong-with-watering.html
Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Wednesday, April 4, 2007. The setup, and what's wrong with watering. Last night I planted my first flat of flowers. I had an hour or so to go downstairs and since the glue had dried sealing the leak of last week it was finally time to plant. Tragically, my watering system still has problems and until I figure out how to fix it I'll have to abandon automatic watering and try to keep on top of my plants' watering needs the old fashioned way. I don't know ...

Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Sunday, April 8, 2007. Walt's Organic Fertilizer Co. Intro completed. This post really concerns Walt's Organic Fertizer Company. Walt's is a small place about a block from the Ballard Bridge in.Ballard. It's on Leary, just west of 15th. I bought a number of items from Walt back in February: germination potting mix, grass seed, organic fertilizer, lime, and coir. Let me explain why I bought the products I did, in case you're curious. Lime - We get a lot ...

A Seattle Chacra: March 2007
http://seattlechacra.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Saturday, March 17, 2007. So a bit over a month ago Wren was born. And my mother came to visit and help out for several weeks (thank goodness! While she was here she and I went to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show. At the show they have "show gardens"- displays set up by local landscaping firms and garden supply centers. Some pretty clever presentations. They also have two big rooms of. When I went there for the first time. Admittedly they did co...

A Seattle Chacra: Can't do it all
http://seattlechacra.blogspot.com/2007/05/cant-do-it-all.html
Come and see my garden which is beautiful.(I hope). Tuesday, May 22, 2007. Can't do it all. I have to walk a delicate balance. I get bummed that I don't get more done on the yard, but I don't want to abandon the family to do it (besides, Cris gets grumpy if I don't help with the kids). So this past month I could either do stuff in the yard with my limited time, or I could blog about it. Your loss, I guess. In the fall I enlarged the garden borders into the yard by turning the sod over and covering it wit...
