My seedlings finally found their way outside. I planted over 100 plants and watermelon, cantaloupe, green bean, and cucumber seeds. Everything is doing really well! My hubby also built me 9 new raised beds. He’s amazing. I add granule fertilizer to the hole of each plant and mix it in before adding the plant. For… Continue reading Post 25: Planting Day

Post 23: Over Watering
I’ve shed more than a few tears over today’s Friday Fail. I made the classic mistake of overwatering my seedlings. I also think I may have used the wrong potting soil because it just doesn’t drain like the other soil I’ve used. I think I’m at the point where I need to start mixing my… Continue reading Post 23: Over Watering
Post 22: Growth
I recently went away for 3 days leaving behind my precious seedlings.

I think it is very fitting that her 100th birthday fell on a “blog post” day. When I’m planting or doing anything in the garden… Continue reading Post 17: Bma’s Birthday

Hello again and happy Sunday. I’d like to start out by freely admitting that I am terrible at coming up with titles for my blog posts. You have my permission to cringe or make a face at how corny they can be. Now that that’s out of the way, I have many updates for today.… Continue reading Post 16: Seeds are popping
Post 3: Sun Scald
My first Friday Fail will have to be from last season. May 10, 2021 I had read all the books I could. I watched every YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook video available. I listened to countless podcasts. I was ready to get these seedlings in the ground already! If your dining room table looked like this… Continue reading Post 3: Sun Scald
