Peatmoss is delayed, two finished bins flipped, lost some ready dirt. Ugh. Got two more bins brought up to mix once delivery shows.

Got a timmed power strip. Peatmoss should arrive tomorrow. 🤞

Well, idk how many bags this fills. So, idk how to do my bookkeeping. I think maybe 4-5 bags? Anyway, mixed them with grit and peatmoss. Filled 3 of the big plastic pots. Have 5 yards of peat moss compost on order. Waiting for snow to get lost before he'll deliver it! Then I just need to get...

Not cat safe.

I'm going to enclose part of my porch for the cats. It's east-ish facing, 5+ feet off the ground. Morning sun only. I'd need a cat safe shrub, something that can live in a zone colder than mine, 7, and live in a large pot forever. Preferably evergreen, but not is fine, they may still climb it...

Used 2 old bins this time....faster fill up, worse empty.... Drilled holes to drain the water n urine.....Slid one onto the tailgate to drill a 3rd hole on actual bottom..... It fell on me. I just got out of the shower! Wtf One bin cracked...other still just 2 holes.... Parked on a hill to...

Repotted, with more dirt, not new pot, the asparagus ferns. The original either fully died and 2 seeds grew anew, or the original mostly died back and regrew. Idk which. Tried to get most of the old and dead out. Back in their spots. Idk why one is dark green and the other is always more of a...

Two different websites, two different times... Sideways is directly outside planting date. Straight is indoor planting date. Head start on cukes inside, probably just a couple of weeks, as they flower and fruit indoors. Well, I guess they all will, just have a longer growing time before they can...

Well, probably these again. Maybe with more success for most. Heh...

I've seen nurseries use it bare. I won't be adding anything on top, definitely not mulch. It hurts knees, stabs, let's weed seeds grow, rots and needs replaced. Claims to have 50yr warranty. Don't think I have enough cardboard.

I should probably first figure out what I want to grow... Red is no zone. Teal show slope lines. Nothing is flat here. That left area is pretty steeply down n out over there. Center is a bit flat. Right is more sloping away from porch, steeper the closer to the fence. Blue is fenceline. Have...

The pink flower pic in the OP.

I've looked into those backerboard types. Sometimes cheaper, kinda ugly, but who cares.

This pot was my mom's, she's going through a phase of getting rid of everything... I wouldn't say it's my favorite, it's actually kinda ugly, but I grew up seeing it, so it's a homey or nostalgic type of ugly? Lol I don't keep plants in the same pot long enough to have a plant for it. Maybe...

I went to Michael's. Even with their coupon, it was cheaper to buy a two pack on amazon. Saved $14. They arrived today! Delayed because of the snow. Their paint is also incredibly expensive. I buy the cheapest stuff, as I'm just messing around with paintings and they tend to suck. So, I don't...

Was time to move up the wee plants! Freshly rooted got potted and covered. Previous ones got covers off. Then pottwd hedges got their big pots. There's a whole process, as the rose cuttings died when I rushed a bit. No new rose cuttings rooted, so none of those here. Just a tropical shrub and...

Getting started with setting up for the next season. New light holder, new starter trays and a new, 2nd heat mat. Part of it will be for the cuttings. Haven't decided on what to grow nor do I know when I should start them yet. 😅

There's a chicken one, a herds one and a garden one. All seem somewhat connected. Is there one for design or art?? If not, I guess this is my art/design journal. 🤷🏽‍♀️ I saw this somewhere online and thought it looked easy enough to try and paint. Decided on a 5:3 ratio, but not where nor...

Cuttings!! I didn't know you could grow pines and such from cuttings!! And since I have a bunch now...I think I'll take some cuttings and try to root them! Gotta start garden seeds soon, heat mat will be on the dining table, with the lights, so these can go on there now! I've decided to fully...
