Little Alexander · seed starting in egg cartons It’s finally time to start seeds again! After months of winter garden dreaming, action at last! First come the onions. We’re planting a bunch this year, maybe not enough to grow all our own, but enough to make a dent. And we start just about every meal with sautéing onions in olive oil, so we’re starting 150 onion seeds, and we’ll see where that takes us. While we’ve got some of those black plastic trays you see at garden stores for seed starting, we don’t have enough of them for 150 onions and everything else we’ll be starting later on. Here’s what we did: 1) Got a bunch of egg cartons (Thanks, John!) 2) Cut out a panel from the lid on three sides, so we have a flap of sorts on top, while stapling the original lid closed (we tried glue, but staples were easier). 3) Filled the bottom half of the cartons with potting soil, and then put in enough seed starting medium on top for the seedlings to emerge into. 4) Put in our seeds, one future-plant per cell.
Tutoriel sur la culture des tomates en général Maintenant que votre pied est planté dans le sol, le vrai cette fois, il va falloir changer notre fusil d'épaule et passer à un traitement plus "de fond" 1/Le tuteurage INDISPENSABLE !!!! La tomate est une liane sans tronc rigide, fournissez lui en un autour duquel s'enrouler ! Il existe des tuteurs en forme de cages, des en forme de bobines, des droits, des en bambous, des en métal voire des en plastique... à vous de choisir, l'essentiel est que votre plant soit bien tuteuré, afin qu'il ne casse pas sous une brusque rafale Sur la photo, on peut se dire que j'ai vu grand : mais les tomates atteignent facielement 2m en une année, alors voyez grand dès la plantation (important : plantez vos tuteurs AVANT de mettre vos plants de tomates) Les cages à tomates sont une bonne solution... si vous avez du temps ! 2/L'arrosage Evidemment un point essentiel de la culture d'un fruit majoritairement fait d'eau... Un binage vaut deux arrosages (un sol aeré est mieux qu'un sol noyé Comment ?

I have always wanted to make an herb garden, but with a small yard, 4 children, and 2 dogs, there is not much room left for an herb garden, or any garden for that matter. I was excited to find that Pinterest picture, because just a few short weeks ago when we had sod delivered , they delivered it on 3 pallets! I removed all of the broken boards, which you can see were most of them. Once I removed all of the broken and rotten boards, I was basically left with a frame, and still a very sad looking frame at that. Boards cut at (3 total) 39" 14/16ths and (6 total) 17" 14/16ths to replace the other broken boards, and to create the shelves for my plants. I then broke out my Kreg jig.
