Plants are in the ground! And where you don’t see plants, there are seeds!
The milk jugs are working as little greenhouses for the carrots. We still have to get the string on the “trellis” for the peas. They are already trying to tie themselves into knots, so we need something for them to wind on. Other than that, we’re just keeping things hydrated and keeping our eyes open for slugs.
From front to back: Peas, green ...
Can you believe that we have barely touched the garden beds since all that digging and slaving? The first week we were just too busy, and since then it’s been kind of rainy and the soil has been too wet to do much with. However, our planters have been draining nicely and we decided to get our herbs planted.
Why planters, you ask? One of the containers was already at the house and just needed a ...
Sunday was a beautiful day in Seattle. The sun was out and it was a great day to get outside and work in the garden. And just look how it turned out!
If you remember, this grassy lawn is what we started with:
On Friday we had a friend with a truck (hi Matt!) take us to Home Depot for supplies. Since we were starting from scratch, our list was pretty long and took two trips. Here’s ...
Since I’ve had gardening seriously on the brain lately, I’ve stumbled across some great gardening blogs. I love reading about other people’s gardens, mining their knowledge, taking notes on what tools are good and which are a waste of money. But I also love the pretty inspirational pictures. Which is where Gardening in Heels comes in.
Gardening in Heels is a tumblr blog full of outdoor pictures from magazines, blogs, and photographer’s portfolios. Not just one ...
Hi everyone! I hope you had a great weekend! We enjoyed some sunshine and warm temps here on Friday and Saturday, and even though it was rainy on Sunday it was still a beautiful day. Ryan and I got a chance to head to Home Depot and start on our plans for our garden.
Last time I wrote about the garden, we’d decided to grow vegetables and herbs in containers. As renters, we assumed that containers ...
Ryan and I are definitely not master gardeners. I had a “garden” when I was small that lasted a few weeks maybe. What the birds didn’t get, the slugs did. I was so disappointed by that experience that I have not tried again since… (cue dramatic music) UNTIL NOW.
Similar to what I'm envisioning for our herb garden.
We’ve both watched our parents grow thriving gardens. Last year I longed for a container garden… but my little ...
Last week I was lucky enough to win tickets to the Northwest Flower and Garden Show from Seattle Homes and Lifestyles Magazine. This is the second time I’ve won a giveaway on twitter! I was particularly excited about this win because I’d been hearing really exciting things about the show. I took my friend Laura with me on Saturday and we had a great time.
The show is held in the convention center and is six ...
