Amber from Upper Arlington sent me an email yesterday asking about what to do with her Square Foot Garden now that the growing season is winding down. It is such a good question, I thought I’d share the answer with everyone. You can start to clean up your gardens now – pull out dead and [...]
What of my favorite things about Square Foot Gardening is that you aren’t so pooped out by all the weeds by this time in the summer. You still have energy to keep planting! So what do you plant? Just about everything you might have planted in the spring – broccoli, kale, cabbage, lettuce, peas, carrots, [...]
I apologize, I’ve had to cancel this event. Just too much going on to get everything ready for it. If you would like to swing by and see the gardens, feel free. The yard is still a “work in progress,” so please excuse the chaos. Please call me for directions if you need them. 740-405-3874.
Just a quick note… we are headed to Dayton to deliver Mel’s Mix and anything else you might need in the area on Wednesday. Please call me if you need anything. 740-405-3874.
I’ve converted most of my city-lot yard to Square Foot Gardens and other food production. Come see! By mid-July it will be in full production and we will be able to harvest for the potluck. Bring a dish to share and stop by any time. I will offer classes (schedule to be announced) and invite [...]
A friend has a hive of bees in her shed that she is pretty sure is honey bees. Do you know someone who might be willing to come collect it? She’d rather not kill them. Please call me at 740-405-3874.
Ok, very productive day, even though we didn’t start until after noon. Dylan made two 4×8 Square Foot Garden boxes and would have made a third, but the drill battery died. He mixed enough Mel’s Mix for three 4x4s and one 4×8. Once I’m out of the pile of compost, I’ll be switching to bagged [...]
Anyone who wants to come learn about Square Foot Gardening in a hands-on way, we will be working in my yard in Newark. We’re starting from the bottom up. Laying out gardens, building boxes, mixing Mel’s Mix and planting. I have six 2′x3′ boxes and two 2′x2′ already planted. Will eventually have three 4′x8′ beds [...]
Wow! Spring has been skipped once again this year. It went from freezing temperatures to sweltering, seemingly over night. It did this last year and we had record high temperatures in June! I’m already having to water my gardens every day and I don’t like it! I am a lazy gardener, that’s why I Square [...]
Busy week this week! Tomorrow I’m in Dayton for a workshop with the Master Gardeners. Tuesday night, consulting with New Albany’s new community garden and Wednesday evening teaching a 10-Basics class for the Upper Arlington Life Long Learning program. There are still openings. If you’d like to register, go to the LLL site for info. [...]
