One single squash in earthbox

Growing Squash in an Earthbox

in Earthboxes, Gardening on 09/18/11

I have grown squash in earthboxes for a few years now, and I have not been entirely thrilled with the results. Using the earthbox quidelines of 4 per box, I always got anemic looking plants. They did produce squash, but not as much as I would hope for. This year, I put one plant per box, right in the middle… View Post

Time to freeze eggplants

in Gardening, Harvest, Recipe Corner on 09/08/11

The eggplants are now coming on strong. Time to freeze! The way I do that is I cut them in slices, and layer them in single layers with parchment paper between each layer. Once they are frozen, I put them into freezer bags. The same method works great for squash and bell peppers (or any other pepper you might want to… View Post

Broccoli – lots of broccoli

in Gardening, Harvest on 07/28/11

Broccoli has been thriving this cool and temperate summer. We have been eating lots of it. Now that the heads have all been harvested, the harvesting of side shoots continues, and hopefully those will keep coming for some time still. Delicious!

Garlic scapes

Don’t forget to harvest your garlic scapes

I have been harvesting garlic scapes for a few weeks now. Today was the largest harvest to date. Two great reasons: 1: They are very delicious! 2: You will get larger bulbs of garlic come harvest time.

How to transplant tomato seedlings (no sound)

in Gardening on 05/26/11

The reason for cutting off most of the branches is that it allows a strong root system to develop, as roots will form all along the buried stem. The reason for digging a long, shallow hole, and laying the seedling sideways is that the soil is warmer at the surface. It might seem counter-intuitive to cut off most of the… View Post

Asparagus Harvest

Asparagus Harvest

in Gardening, Harvest, Videos on 05/07/11

We planted this asparagus from crowns, three years ago. The first two years, we did not harvest at all, finally we are getting to enjoy it. The variety is Jersey Giant, and it is super delicious. I highly recommend it.

Spring Lettuce Earthbox

First Earthbox of Spring

in Earthboxes, Gardening, Growing seedlings on 03/31/11

Today, finally, we had a day with no rain (so far anyways, it’s staring to look like rain might be coming any moment now). So I took the opportunity to plant out 8 lettuce seedlings to this spring’s first earthbox. Indoors, the pepper and eggplant seedlings were moved from under lights in the garage, but kept on their heatmat, since… View Post

Today I got a 60 plug Bio Dome flat planted with Hot Peppers, Sweet Peppers and Eggplants.  They are now on the heat mat, at about 80ºF. On the 4th, I planted Tomatoes along with a just a few hot peppers. Many of the tomatoes have sprouted and have already been moved off the heat mat and under lights. A… View Post

one day germination

Amazing speed! Morning Glory and Alyssum, sprouting just one day after being planted.

in Gardening, Seed starting on 02/28/11

I have planted 3 trays of flower seeds over the past couple of days, and I am amazed at the speed of germination of some of the seeds, and wondering if it has something to do with using ionized, alkaline water. (pH 8.5, micro-clustered, from my Kangen Water machine), or if it’s just the heat mat and the covered tray…. View Post

Bio-dome planted

What is growing now?

in Gardening, Growing seedlings, Seed starting on 02/24/11

Spring season has started, if only indoors – with heat mats, and lamps. While it’s hailing and snowing outside, it sure is nice to have seedlings to watch, tend and care for. On February 12, I got one Bio Dome planted, with Broccoli, Cabbage, Mustard Greens and Parlsley. Today, 12 days later, I am hoping I did not allow them… View Post
