It was pretty cool to hear Sam tell about the garden and make sure she told everyone that the seeds were Organic! gotta love that hat too, huh?
I do cherish these times, they are the stuff that her future is made of.
much love
deb
PS you must post more on your blog!!! I demand it!
Green smoothie compost. Brilliant idea (I will steal)!
I'm still dreaming of my square foot garden. We can't safely plant until Memorial Day around here (for fear of FROST). But in a couple of weeks, I should be able to put in some of the leafy greens like spinach, kale and chard that don't mind the chilly temps. Oh, and peas are hardy little guys too.
I have a lettuce mix.. says cool weather.. I have give it a go and pick them as babies!
crop rotation is the rule!

Until I get a 'real" compost system going this works for me.. not for a weak blender of course!

Sam is something else, a budding gardener too!
I have sugar snap peas, watermelon, cantaloupe, corn.. many more. Should be a good summer of eating!

Alas, I have no place to start my own garden. Which sucks!
I really want to though. Someday - somewhere!!
ILU!!!
You can do a window box, grow small greens and herbs.. go to the local nursery they have lots of options. And sprouts too!
love you too
deb
but some folks would do best with it!
thanks Cindy
The automation is great though. But a sq foot method (either 1'x4' or 4'x4' or anything in between will be much easier to maintain if the water always has lots of goodies in it. I would add in molasses powder to feel all the soil microorganisms.
Mulching is obviously key as well, keeping things much more drought proof.
And organics can be difficult with hydro because of clogged sprayers. But a bubbling bucket (google it) is an easy experiment that costs very little to get started. Plus with ocean minerals, some amazing results could be had.
Don Jansen's work can be learned about from oneradionetwork.com and he does hydro with just diluted sea water. AMAZING results. So if one has the patience of dealing with some minor mechanical problems once in a while, it can be very doable. Nothing ever bothered his plants, they were so mineralized that they became impervious. Think about it.
RAMBLING!!!
ramble on.. we need the knowledge that you have to "bubble" out into our brains!

I have started planting and am enjoying it. You guys look like you are having so much fun.
Your post is very good and has inspired me even more.
Best wishes on your garden and I look forward to seeing your updates. :)

Those seedlings are going to take a while!! You might want to throw in some seedlings from the farmer's market, and then rotate later. Seedlings can take FOREVER!! (Im looking at a bell pepper seedling, about two weeks old, that is about 1'' high...)

We were drinking pure lemon juice and it tasted like sweet candy! IM NOT KIDDING!!!!!

Yesterday Peter, my mom, and I hung out at my father house all day and night with him and my sister. My dad has a fig tree in his backyard. Peter removed a couple branches and guess what, some sort of gardening is taking place now. Peter will plant the two branches in my mom's backyard. I hope they grow up to be strong fig trees. :-)
you will be farmers in no time.. I am thinking of starting a very small bee hive too.. maybe get some pollinating going!
deb
Can't wait to see how our gardens grow!
Much Love to you.
NICE going! I love your garden guy, wish I had one of those!
Goodluck and enjoy the veggies!
deb
