Here, you'll find tips, tricks, and information on gardening and growing your own food. You don't have to be rich or have a lot of money to grow what you need for a season. Yes, I'm the same one of the Face app.
This onion sat in my fridge for, probably, a week, before I finished using it. It had grown roots, so I popped it into the dirt and in just a few days, had onion greens. This is a good example of store bought food you can grown from your waste. 1/2

I was not expecting such a high germination rate for my #Californiapoppy seeds. Everything I've read says the roots don't like to be disturbed, so I put the paper towels in the dirt, and spritzer everything to dampen. Will it work? 🤷♀️

Unwrapped my baby broccoli, arugula, and lettuce. 😄 They're all legs and I'm ok with it for now. Well, not my arugula. They're the wee short ones on the bottom right.

I have been remiss in my updates lately! I have taken tonnes of photos of my starts and started more!
1. Those three small sprouts are melon seeds. They are either cantaloupe or canary melon. Until they bloom, they are labeled 'random melon seeds'.

TVG made a rookie mistake with these damned cups.😡You see all those leggy lettuce and broccoli babies?🤬Not enough light or humidity. I'm pretty mad at myself because I knew better. I ended up just re-planting in a tray of dirt and giving them more time under the sunlamp. 🧵/5 #garden #plantsofbluesky

#Gardening tips: Basic #seedstarting. I don't use warming mats or seed-starting mix. My process is simple. This year, I bought two large plastic trays at [evil corporate box store with the blue and yellow logo]. If it's what you got, it's what you got. I'm forced to shop there, too.🧵1/8
