I loved hearing about the happenings in your garden. I think it's neat how many people both knit and garden. It seems we all enjoy working with our hands in many ways. Also, I had never heard of eating radish seed pods till 2022. Now, they are one of the most surprising yet delicious garden snacks for me. Happy knitting and gardening to you!
I loved seeing what you're growing Aimee! It's so inspiring and makes me want to get out into my garden and reclaim it from the weeds. ❤
Hi Aimee! I really enjoyed your garden tour ❤ This year, I doubled up on winter squash because it's something I love. Not as many tomatoes for me this year because I canned a lot last year. Thank you for the tour!
I really lucked out, I didn't have the opportunity to try any wheels when I bought my wheel (in 2008!) and it is probably my forever wheel. I have a Kromski minstrel and it has a lotta miles on it. It has been a workhorse and traveled and done so many demo programs. Its beat up and grungy but it just keeps going. My main constraints when I bought it was budget and size and I am so glad it worked for me so well as it has. Although sometimes I am wooed by the espinners at fiber festivals.
I love seeing your garden! I’m trying zucchini again this year, plus watermelon, lots of cucumbers, bell peppers, my son’s ridiculously spicy pepper garden, and I accidentally picked up a cantaloupe so we will see how that goes. I’m also starting some green bean seeds right now.
I’ve been going pretty crazy planting tons of pollinator friendly native plants this year too which has been so fun. I have echinacea, yarrow, black eyed susans, milkweed, woodland phlox, coreopsis..and I am sure I’m missing some. I’ve gotten some lilies from my grandma too. I’m excited to see all the plants start to fill in. Next year I hope to focus on more annuals and try to grow more from seed.
Oh, we also have a bunch of potatoes! Those have been really fun to grow. Oh and tomatoes, of course. 😊
Hell yes to the super spicy peppers! How's the pollinator situation looking where you are? The bees seem to have made my cucumbers their regular stop now and it's SO cute to see their butts in the flowers each day.
Try using old pantyhose or stockings to tie up drooping eggplant fruits.
Thanks! They actually hold up ok and the ones on the ground are just on the lower part of the plant. I think they’ll outgrow this on their own 😅
Everything is looking so happy! Where do you get your seeds from? You have so many varieties that I definitely don't see when looking at seed packets in the big box stores and I'd love to branch out more.
Almost everything I grow is from Botanical Interests, Seed Savers, and Kitazawa Seeds!
