Today was a very big day. Baby plants were put in the ground!! Now, you may be saying the Delaware garden zone is just barely out of the threat of frost….you would be right. I will have to keep my eye on potential threats for a few weeks. But my beans and peas were huge […]

It’s time to bean up….grow some beans!! I like to start as many baby plants as I can indoors before the growing season begins, to give them ideal conditions to set up their root system.

No seed is safe….online and in the store, they are like […]

When rain strikes, as it sometimes will day after day in the spring, there are other things we can do to keep on track for a successful garden. Seedlings should be taking off and growing noticeably by the day. Remember when I touched on having room for error? Well, today I will show you some […]
