19 day patio garden update!

Well, things are going really well so far. My Cherokee purple tomatoes have taken off! I'm so excited for them! Only one pea plant came up, so I'll need to plant 3 more seeds. I found out that transplanting carrots is difficult, so I did my best but planted some more seeds just in case. I also added a planter of lettuce. Unfortunately no cherry tomatoes sprouted, so we will re do those as well.

My plant babies

When the Mister and I moved to Canada last year, I had to give away my plants. This post has been sitting in drafts for a while, for no particular reason. I wanted to share my 2025 patio plants. Ou…

One of the planters I've brought in for the winter. At the beginning of spring, there was a tub of previously-used potting soil that had a couple sprouts boosting out early. (1/2) #patiogarden #indoorgardening #spinach #seedStarting #espinaca #epinards #seedsaving #garden #semillas
One of the planters I've brought in for the winter. At the beginning of spring, there was a tub of previously-used potting soil that had a couple sprouts boosting out early. We enjoyed some early spinach, and then I let it go to seed, to see if I could grow another round. These were planted late summer and have been going since.

En af de krukker, jeg har taget med til vinteren. I begyndelsen af ​​foråret stod der en bøtte med tidligere brugt pottejord, hvor et par spirer var sprunget ud tidligt. Vi nød noget tidlig spinat, og så lod jeg den gå i frø for at se, om jeg kunne dyrke en omgang mere. Disse blev plantet sidst på sommeren og har været der siden.

Voici l'une des jardinières que j'ai rentrées pour l'hiver. Au début du printemps, un bac de terreau usagé laissait apparaître quelques jeunes pousses. Nous avons dégusté des épinards précoces, puis j'ai laissé le terreau monter en graines pour voir si je pouvais en semer une autre. Ces nouvelles pousses ont été plantées à la fin de l'été et poussent bien depuis.

Einer der Pflanzkübel, die ich über den Winter hereingeholt habe. Zu Frühlingsbeginn stand da ein Behälter mit gebrauchter Blumenerde, aus dem schon ein paar Keimlinge sprossen. Wir haben uns über den frühen Spinat gefreut, und dann habe ich ihn aussamen lassen, um zu sehen, ob ich noch eine Runde anbauen kann. Diese hier wurden im Spätsommer gepflanzt und wachsen seitdem.

Один з горщиків, який я занесла на зиму. На початку весни там стояла діжка з раніше використаною землею, з якої рано проросло кілька паростків. Ми насолодилися раннім шпинатом, а потім я дала йому проростити насіння, щоб побачити, чи зможу виростити ще один. Їх посадили наприкінці літа, і з того часу вони ростуть.

This sunflower is a demonstration of my efforts to learn how to grow stuff. Originally I thought this was a zucchini plant. 🤷🏼‍♀️ #patiogarden #saturdaysunflower #mellowyellow
Busy day beautifying my #PatioGarden, and I’m in love with the exuberant colours! This is what happens when you give your professional gardener pal a $50 budget for a plant sale (and then she comes over and helps you pot it all). There are beans, peppers and squash now, as well as the lettuce, beets and kale I had, and sooooo many flowers, including a jaw-dropping mixed basket with a stunning dahlia next to my door. A 10-day-early birthday gift to myself that I am already overjoyed to behold.😍💐
