well, they're big enough now that i took it to chance and they're doing just fine... i had them in my bedroom, and my son only killed a few of them. i had to rotate out the tomatoes to the window with the sheer curtains to make room for the onions, which he left alone for awhile. he killed 3 of...
Absolutely genuis. Definitely doing this next season... the stems of my seedlings are too long from lack of sun, and I'm starting to think I may have started them too early. I was hoping for warmer weather sooner.
i tried it once, moving down to florida. i hateddd it. i just couldn't do it. I'm a New York girl through and through haha I couldn't get used to it being warm in December, everyone down south moves so much slower, and there's no hills in Florida, and no real soil just sand, and I didn't think...
Yes to a kid's gardening thread! I don't know how the weather is over in Ohio, but according to the weather channel you've got snow pretty bad too. I was hoping it was all a hoax and we could start planting soon! Hopefully this will be the last of the snow, I'm ready for spring gardening! And my...
I'm thinking about putting a play yard up near the garden, where my son can be contained and do whatever he like to his own garden. haha He'll be 2 in June but I don't trust him in my garden just yet. I'd like him to feel involved as well, but he's a very confident kid who thinks he knows best...
They will DEFINITELY have access to the run for several hours a day. I myself couldn't stay "cooped up" without losing my mind, so I would never do that to my girls. We do get VERY cold winters, so my hope is that having a slightly smaller coop with some insulation will help to keep them warm in...
I'm 20 with 0 building experience - but I am confident in my coop design. PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG (it would be greatly appreciated) I have a 10x10 shed, which is currently housing all sorts of things including the pool pump. I plan to wall that section off, leaving me with a 7x10 coop...
yes! this helps! haha its always nice to know there's someone out there who feels my pain.. so far the kids haven't gotten into them, but the previous damage done to most of the tomato seeds is proving irreversible. i have at least 4 holding on; which is horrible considering i started with 36...
there's not an available outlet near the window... i have the seeds set up in my bedroom high enough that the kids cant reach it, unless my one year old climbs on the bed.. he'll just have to be carefully monitored cause he is quite a terror. but he loves the little plants and ive been teaching...
So I've started my seeds in a big bay window facing southwest.. they're doing wonderful. My mother got a creative whim and redid most of her decor including the curtains in the bay window - they've gone from tied back burgundy to lace "sheer" curtains that CANNOT under any circumstances be tied...
