Gardening Tool & Signage

Sooo I got this New Tool here recently...


it's called Sprayman Green Mister

http://instagram.com/p/nHhHgCmoM9/

it was only 10 dollars at Lowes...

I did look on the Lowes website but did not find it...

BTW-

I am not promoting anything or anyone ...just for the Garden/ tool shed of fun!

And I LoVe GardeN Tools!!! ;)
 

This Tool holds more than the Reg. Water bottle plus it has a hole to where you can re-fill without opening up the top...its great til you tip it over flooding your plants a bit...Im not going to lie - it really did take me a while to get used to it....

the way it is in the instagram  pic is how I hold it most of the time....

Up to you if you want to spend the $$ the spray nozzle on it works soooooo GOOD!!!

I believe it was worth the 10bucks for the nozzle and how much water it holds.

Did a little signage as well for my Spinach & Zucchini plants..

Out of those 11 plants I lost 2 tomato plants...

Gardening & Companion Planting

Here are some Good tips that I have found in this Book-

The Mix and Match Guide to Companion Planting by: Josie Jeffery 

http://instagram.com/p/mi_AnNGoNE/

A Must read for Gardening Tips and etc. LOVED the book!!!

It was So helpful and has wonderful detailed pictures!!

Tips below so I can remember plus share with anyone reading this :)

Tips:

* Spinach & Mint - grows well with Strawberry Plants

*Lettuce- grows Good with Radishes

*Tomatoes- good with Asparagus

*Peaches- Keep them Moist in the Harvest!

*Zucchini- cut frequently to encourage more fruit to form

*Basil - does well inside/in flower pot..no higher heat inside then 95

*Chives- cut close to ground/ flowers are also edible

*Garlic- split bulbs and plant 2-4 inches in the grow/but do not grow by Strawberries

*Lavender- cut flower stalks before flowers open. Dried flowers are used for perfume.

Also Helps for Apples!

*Grapes- plant rose bush nearby to keep away pest and etc,

*Rosemary- Do Not Plant with Potatoes, Tomatoes or Cucumbers.

*Chives- Help Pears

*Marjoram - Good with Sweet Peppers

*Peas- Good with Turnips

*Potatoes- Do Not Plant near Sunflowers!

What I have Learned so far...

So Sunday we had some hail / tornado weather - Monday we had a wild little snow storm....

Insane 4 sure - so all this weather did not help my plants....so sad I lost close to 10 plants...

2 - zucchini

2- tomato

and etc.....

Made me sooooo  Sad!

2 much Heat (like past 95 degress) + no ventilation = Dead Plants

well not all of them will die...but don't be surprised when some do...

Transplanting

I cannot believe I have sooo many little baby plants I am running out of space....ahhh ...

TRANSPLANTING PLANTS- There is really nothing to it...Transplanting takes time, patience and lots of practice.....use towel paper rolls or even paper towel roll (cut into segments ) and then wrap with newspaper...Like making mini Paper Mache bowls..if the paper of cardboard is not bending to your will ...use a spray bottle to gently moisten paper -if you go spray bottle crazy....just let it dry a bit and come back to it... Do Not worry that they don't look perfect! Its ok- its going in the dirt!!! :) Good Luck!! http://instagram.com/p/mjws5TGoHB/    pic of my Lettuce, Spinach! ;)

Growth

Lots of Growth so far! http://instagram.com/p/mefvhNmoCi/




The Greenhouse has really been helpful - but if you got room in your kitchen by the window that would be perfect as well! Right now, I am growing Lavender and a couple of other house plants by my Kitchen window! :)


O- And Happy April Fools Day!
