Welcome to Schmidt house friends, I hope you can survive some light frost and neglect. Time to go growmies. ( lemmy.world )
They aren’t going in yet, hopefully slowly over the next week, still need to harden off my starts, but didn’t want to be left with nothing for options either....
New homeowner, just sorta winging it... ( lemmy.world )
Having never owned a house or really had a yard of my own, I got pretty excited and decided to do some ad-hoc landscaping. Built some raised beds for vegetables, and just laying in some organic shaped in-ground beds for low water decorative plants. Gonna fill the rest in with gravel. Any pointers?
Once More, With Feeling ( lemmy.world )
Daikon goes boom. Pak choi is on the way up with it. Gotta solve my soil issues before I put these down. Speaking of soil issues, I probably gotta start over on my squash bed. Nothing looks too happy in there and instead of watching it die a slow death, I'm just gonna direct sow everything after I get some amendments in with it....
the veggie garden is starting slowly. ( lemmy.ml )
Do to a busy life (both good and bad stuff) I had a bit of a late start planting and sowing seeds indoors....
Any idea what happened to the second strawberry pot? ( lemmy.world )
Both pots were started at the same time from the same batch of strawberry starts. They should have the same soil box. Both grew vigorously last spring/summer and got visited by deer in the fall. Both bounced back pretty well before winter set in. The left pot is very happy, the right... Not so much. I do recall the big pot...
Looks like it'll be the end of May still before I risk planting outside. ( lemmy.world )
Just 1 large one left growmies. All the small ones are done, total will be 144sq/ft real estate. ( lemmy.world )

I got sick a week and a half ago, so things got a little messy. We're back on schedule, tho. Kale has been the hero this season. Couple broccoli doing what I ask. Slugs got all my first round peppers, so on my back foot there....

[Update] Blueberries! ( lemmy.world )
Thanks for the advice, everyone! My legacy blueberry plant is going strong, and my sunshine one isn’t far behind! I can’t wait to pick them, how will I know when they’re ready? I imagine they’ll need to darken in color a little bit and shed the little brown flower petal bits, right?
I know it's a little late for most of you, but what's your guys spring lawn care routine? ( lemmy.world )
Me I just got done mine, snow and rain made it a little too wet to do fully, but I dealt with it....

What exactly are the "mini sweet peppers" that grocery stores sell? ( us.amazon.com )
I had a customer come into my garden center today and ask for "those mini sweet peppers. you know, the ones grocery stores sell". I have no idea what those peppers are. I suggested a sweet pimento, but they wanted the grocery store was selling....

The Most Important Thing That's Probably Missing From Your Backyard ( medicinalseedkit.com )
Got the last flower bed demulched. Album with list of plants with before and after. ( imgur.com )
Still needs a top up of compost/loam and mulch, but happy with the amount accomplished.
150 Seedlings - into the cold frame ( lemmy.world )
Started the peppers in March and tomatoes in April. They were getting too big for my grow light so I evicted them outside. Plenty warm in the cold frame in Massachusetts....
Weather was nice enough to get one of the raised beds raised another 10". ( lemmy.world )
Size of each bed is 4’x12’. All that’s missing is the 50/50 loam compost mix for the one. Other needs a tilling and the extension as well.
