All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

Earlier this week I went to start veggies and flowers for the library's community garden

What's growing on with you all?

Yay peas! I planted 'sugar snap' and 'sugar anne' today after picking up some hog panels for trellising. Hopefully the other seeds get with the program!

For the blueberries - remove any flower stems back to where they branch from the larger stem this first year. You want them putting their energy into leaves and roots. They appreciate a more acid soil and easy access to water. Top dressing with sulphur, or even the occasional diluted apple cider vinegar will help them create the subsoil conditions they prefer.
