ReplyGarden Wildlife and Insects
from howconnie on 03/02/2015 12:14 AMI'm so excited that I had three beneficial insects stop by my garden so far this year. Two different butterflies, a bumblebee, a wasp, and a lady beetle. Whose nosing around your garden?
My project is to create a natural organic balance with insect and wildlife, in the city it hard to attract benefitual creatures so to get three plus the butterflies is pretty good.

Trying replant the tops of vegetables to get additional food. Shred old plants and use them as mulch.

from howconnie on 03/01/2015 08:41 PMI just got part of a sweet Spanish onion to grow. Planted some celery scraps. Now I'm working on a daikon radish, and celery root tops.
Also I just some sprouted onions and sunflower seed in pots to see what happens. A lady at the farmers market sells all kinds of sprouts.
Re: SUGGESTIONS ON GROWING CHIVES??

I plant them like grass seed to trim and eat. Also pull up plants and place them in water at sunny window, They will continue to grow for a month then put them back to get seed

Re: Gardening Kitchen Scraps - Vegetables That Will Regrow
from howconnie on 02/27/2015 06:10 AMI haven't had much success with growing scraps but now that I have a ltitle more information I'm going to get growing. Carrot and onion would be divine next to a papaya tree.
