Scallions: Full Sun or No?


Picked a few scallions, today. Not very big, but I'm still very proud of them. These were grown in a container on my deck--where I spend several days arranging plants to bask in some sunlight. My backyard is a tree filled backyard that's partially shaded at different times of the day.
As I mentioned earlier, I take the time to move pots around the deck, so all plants can get their time to shine in the sun.
Happy the scallions got their time to shine, don't know if they would've been a bit bigger with full sun, but hey, I'm a first timer and I'm still very proud.

Quote of the Week


I grow plants for many reasons: to please my soul, to challenge the elements or to challenge my patience, for novelty, or for nostalgia, but mostly for the joy on seeing them grow.

Oh Harvest Day


Today was a great harvest day! The plan was to harvest 10 bulbs, but once the digging began, I couldn't stop until reaching 26 bulbs.

Yellow Can Bring a Good Thing


The garlic's looking like it's ready to harvest. A few are starting to lean over and the majority of them are starting to experience a bit of yellowing of two of their lower leaves.
There's your gardening clues of the day--happy gardening!

Decision made

Was in the store the other day with my daughter, Kennedy, and we were going to buy a couple of bags of soil. But we decided against it, and will use a large bin of compost that isn't completely composted(89%), yet, but will still get the job done.
