Victoria's Gardens: August 2014

http://victoriaspatiogarden.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html

Here are some photos from the week. Not much of a harvest but we did have a couple more cucumbers (not nearly as many as I would like) and some more tomatoes. Its ironic that the one tomato plant on my balcony is producing more tomatoes than the 6 plants in the garden. The fall crop is also making some nice progress. The beans are growing fast and carrots are about an inch tall now. Half Eaten Harvest 8.11.14. Few More Tomatos 8.8.14. There's Time . to Grow! To name a few -. Broccoli Di Cicco (48 days).

Victoria's Gardens: February 2015

http://victoriaspatiogarden.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html

I was sowing my first batch of seeds today and started remembering how tiny many of these are. In fact, I found the tiny alpine strawberry seeds hiding under my fingernails. Planting these outdoors is even trickier due to sun/wind/ etc. Ive done my research and this year will create seed tape for those direct sow veges (ie carrots, beets, lettuce). Heres how:.

Victoria's Gardens: May 2014

Successful Seed Germination Guide. Over the years I have learned a great deal (mostly through trial and error) about how to successfully germinate seeds. Notably, my method over the years has come to vary based on the type of seed / plant I am working with. Below are some general guidelines that I have found helpful. Buy high quality seeds. My favorite is Botanical Interests. Keep soil moist. Forgetting to mist for a day or two could mean a lower germination rate or no germination at all. 7 to 10 days.

Victoria's Gardens: June 2014

http://victoriaspatiogarden.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

A Visit at Last. OK - I admit it. Given all the renovations at home, I neglected to visit the garden for over two weeks. Today when I finally arrived, I found four large fatty rabbits on my lot. Dinner anyone? At least now I know that I have my work cut out for me for the weekend. Nonetheless, the garden did keep going and growing even without me. I found a baby green pepper on the pepper plant. The tomato plants doubled in size. The Lilly is almost in bloom. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). A Visit at Last.

Victoria's Gardens: Gardening Pre-Game

http://victoriaspatiogarden.blogspot.com/2015/02/gardening-pre-game.html

In desperately looking for some "gardening" to do, I found myself reading an article featuring information on how to pre-plan for the gardening season by taking care of the soil. While I don't think I will be able to find the ground here for weeks still; here is what I learned:. Will help restore imbalances in the pH level of your soil, provide nutrition for your plants and improve water retention. Scraps are another source of nutrition that will lure worms and other good organisms to work with you.
