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?
Do to a busy life (both good and bad stuff) I had a bit of a late start planting and sowing seeds indoors....
Additional info in comments.
Me I just got done mine, snow and rain made it a little too wet to do fully, but I dealt with it....
Previous post for the reminder...
1.3 yards to fill the entire 3’x40’ flower bed. Cedar mulch.
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.
What’s your guys thoughts on a cold frame? I think it could be worth the investment, just for hardening off, but can they take some snow weight?
I’m wanting to make a new lid for next time using smaller net pots. These larger ones have been punching through the lid during growth.
I think I dropped seeds here many months ago....
2-4 centimeters my ass….
I didn’t take a before picture, just an in progress, but I took out the 4 year old mulch, never turned it before. So I ripped it all out, stripped out abount 3 inches of soil and put it in the garden bed. I then put 3 inches of a 50/50 loam compost blend and topped with 3 inches of cedar mulch.
Me, I love my Lillie’s, especially these dark purple ones.
Unfortunately, it is user error. My watering timer got switched to day mode instead of 24 hours. So it would only work when it had the light to operate, so it always worked when I was in the room…
I’m kinda half regretting the plant to be honest, it’s spreading vicariously, maybe giving it my cannabis nutrient runoff wasn’t the best idea…...
Still a success, learned that different strains of tomatoe can have wildly different needs that may not be compatible together....
Bonus picture of midbloom last year....
