Today I started seeds for the backyard beds

The onion…

Planted two Pear, three Pecan and three Mulberry trees. Also got the Tomatoes into their straw bale bed.

I moved in to my new house in July and we've been planning on growing food but wanted to get the inside of the house in order first.

Where we are now: The front and back yards are almost completely grass. The front yard has one area with nice dirt, landscape fabric underneath, that's growing pre…

I just purchased an artichoke plant in the nursery and from my research it looks like its a cool weather crop. Should I even try to plant it in central texas?

Does anyone use a gardening app they like? And what do you like about it?

thanks

Today I went down to my local garden center, having measured the little closet that houses my sump pump, to get seed-starting supplies. I got two "Jump Start" T5 lighting rigs. I also picked up a Jump Start heat mat for seedlings to add to the one I already had. Add some trays and one new plastic…

Yay! I just recently moved to a new place where the landlord doesn't care what we do and so theres two plots 240sqft and 380sqft (620sqft total!) My coworker is going to help me with everything and we will share everything. So far we dug up the lawn, tilled it, layered some chicken poopy straw …

aloe vera is rapidly becoming my favourite unkillable plant, taking over from spider-plants because not only does it seed everywhere, survive me forgetting to water it for weeks, survive me over-watering in guilt when I remember, and not appear to care whether it has sun, shad…

Dug out half the compost heap again – the fruit trees (apple, fig, cherry) and grape vines all need a good feed.

When I made the first four raised beds (3 years ago), I mis-measured a bit, and while one of them fits neatly into the available gap between the paving slabs, the other three do not…

I want to plant asparagus bulbs that I just purchased. The hardiness zones says to plant for a spring planting Jan - Mar. The package says to plant after the last frost. Which one is right?

I have dodged my garden for a year. The sorrel and kale have survived being completely ignored and unwatered over winter but for rain. One little spring onion has hung on in the tiniest form. Bless. The flat leaf parsley went to seed productively. The passionfruit vine tried to grow into the tree…
