It’s spring flower time! Actually I guess it’s April shower time, and some of you know that better than others with the recent flooding. The showers should bring us some blooming spring flowers in the upcoming weeks.
One of my favorite spring flowers is daffodils. They are so easy to grow, and a great […]
Everyone thinks of Shamrocks as the three leaf symbol of St. Patrick’s Day. Many don’t know there is an actual shamrock plant. Shamrock plants are a tender potted plant that grows from a bulb like root system. The Shamrock plant is a popular gift this time of year but many recipients don’t know how to […]
Since we’ve had no electricity the last day or so I’ve been working on starting a few more seeds. I started some toward the end of February, but I started a few more this morning.
Why start your own plants from seeds?
1. Cost is the main reason I start many of my own plants from seeds. […]
Gardener’s Supply has eco-friendly biodegradable Cowpots. Matt and Ben Freund, two Connecticut dairy farmers who were looking for an environmentally responsible way to dispose of cow manure, created the Cowpots.
The Cowpots are created from completely composted dry manure, mixed with natural fibers. What impressed me most is that Cowpots are 100% biodegradable. The pots will […]
Maybe I should call them mushrooms. Growing your own mushrooms is a great project for the winter gardener. Mushrooms grow very well in indoors in the cooler winter months.
Most of the kits you available have everything you need to have your own little mushroom patch up and running within a few days. Most contain manure-based […]
One of the gardens requested by readers in my What Kind of Garden are You Planning post, was a container herb garden.
I love gardening in containers, so this is a fun one for me to expand on. I enjoy container gardening because it adds an extra dimension to my gardening experience. For some it is […]
This spring get together with friends and have a garden (or plant) swap. Have everyone bring at least two things they have an over-abundance of to swap for things they may need in their own garden.
Some people may be better at saving seeds, others may have too many of some types of perennials, or […]
I’ve had a lucky bamboo plant for about two years. When I first purchased the plant a couple years ago, it was just a couple short stubby stems. Its grown about a foot per year, and it’s now about two feet tall. I’ve never transplanted it from its original container.
Lucky Bamboo is actually in the […]
I showed you my before photo on Sunday, now here’s the after. I finally sorted through my seed “collection” and threw out anything not labeled, or more than a couple years old.
After the seeds were sorted I put them in a plastic container to keep the moisture out. I was going to label them alphabetically, […]
I haven’t been at Mother Earth’s Garden for all of 2007, but I have taken a look at most of the posts made this year. I just wanted to post a summary of some of the more popular posts from the last twelve months.
I picked one or 2 posts from each month, based on reader […]
