    What did you do in the garden today?

    Hadn’t thought of cooking swiss chard, I was just using it for salad greens (and I can’t remember the stems, so I must have cut those out and put them back in the garden to compost). It did way better for me than kale, and wasn’t as bitter.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Just be careful! I had that problem with my cayenne a few years ago - they didn’t come up after two weeks and I put in new ones and then the first ones came up. 😅 I use a heat mat now to avoid that.

    My Iroquois Cornbread beans that I started back in January. They will likely complete their entire life cycle indoors and hopefully give me more seeds to plant outdoors than I started with!

    I really wish more seed packets would spell out mint’s planting needs and why!

    🤔 What is the lumens rating on the light? And the K rating?

    If it’s any consolation I used to have the same problem and for the same reason!

    garden help! growing food for chickens

    Chamomile needs light to germinate, so don’t cover the seeds when you go to plant them. (Mint is the same way.)

    If they’re leggy every year have you tried putting them closer to the grow light?

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Some of my basil needed up-potting so I did that today. Also ordered my Fish Pepper seeds since I didn’t have any luck finding those locally. This will be my first time trying Baker Creek! Never planted fennel before. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I see those occasionally but I’m not sure how to go about luring more of them. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I plant dill and let some of my basil (grown in pots and kept indoors over the winter) bolt. That brings in hoverflies, which are pollinators as adults and eat aphids as babies. I wish I could lure in more varieties of predatory insects; it’s a lot more convenient than having to stock up on...

    I think my beans are starting to bloom. 👀

    I don’t think it’s peppermint, and it doesn’t look wispy enough to be dill. Do you at least remember which seed packets you used in total? If so check the germination dates so you can at least rule out anything that would have taken longer.

    3 Sisters Method question and adaptation question?

    With the note that I don’t have the space to have tried any of this myself, I have heard of swapping out the corn for sunflowers, and swapping out the squash for melons. I also don’t know any reason why you couldn’t use peas instead of beans if that’s your preferred legume.

    I’ll have to remember that. When I dehydrated my kale the whole house smelled like broccoli. Which I don’t mind, but then I was hungry for broccoli. 😋

    Mine are usually a full story off the ground and inside the area my cat is allowed outside in so I don’t know how much I can help, but I had an issue with rabbits nibbling down my tarragon which was solved by putting a chicken wire cloche over it until it got too big to interest them. Or could...

    I was out of suet blocks so I had to make up a new batch. I love my little silicon mold, it’s so convenient! The down side was that used up most of my leftover fat, so I guess I need to make more burgers at some point. Also I might be imagining it but I think the goldfinches are starting to get...

    I got a response back already! Here it is in case anyone else is curious: “Thank you for reaching out! Kazak melons will not cross-pollinate with watermelons, as they are different species. They can, however, cross with other muskmelons, cantaloupes, and honeydews, which are within the same...
