Load Up The Car!

 Ah, not only is it seed dreaming season, but we start to see local nurseries pages come alive, and you picture yourself like this:

Seedy Saturday January 16, 2021

 

Welcome to Seedy Saturday.  Here are pictures of the lovely posts I've seen this week with delectable flower and vegetable seeds of note.

I'll also add any seed acquisitions, plans and thoughts for my garden.

Lovely Greens Planting Strawberries in a Pot

 

 I planted quite a few varieties of everbearing and June bearing Strawberries last year, hoping to get a nice ongoing collection of strawberries last season. I thought I was so clever, honestly, planting both, and planting them sort of thickly, to ensure some success.

Apparently I'm a strawberry fool, because only a few kept going, and we shall see what comes back in the spring.

Seeing this article by Lovely Greens on planting strawberries in pots revives my hopes I could have enough of a teeny harvest to make some strawberry preserves for my garden this year.

Proven Winners: Differences in Supertunias

 

As you'll see if I get around to posting pictures from last year's garden. I've gone over the side for hanging pots and anything I can find that will raise my plants off the ground to deter creatures of all types from snacking in my garden.  

I've come to love Supertunias, which, when happy, are in constant bloom.  The challenge is finding local nurseries which have the color choices I prefer, that being pink, purple, pink.

Back to the Garden: 2021

 

 

So, when last we were interrupted by the Plagueopocolypse, I had a fine start to this blog, posting every day, if you can imagine, for quite awhile.

Now it's a new year, with a new garden season incoming.  Time to do what gardeners get to do yearly, wipe the slate clean and begin with fresh dreams and intentions.

One of the reasons I stopped writing on this blog was nobody, not a soul was reading it.  How discouraging is that?   This year, I'm going to ignore that, and let this be what blogs were initially meant to be, an online diary.

All the garden sites and blogs are dashing into 2021 and I just need to mark here where I can find it, as many of the cool ideas and information as I can.  As one of my sisters used to say "I like to share with you".
