Serena also asked for a carrot and flower garden so I picked up a pack of these colorful carrots for her. She was so excited about them she insisted we go out and plant them last night.Lisa Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183974747828955985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166995101636378123.post-16359607566671207852014-01-27T13:42:00.002-08:002014-01-27T13:42:17.342-08:00Garden ToneI just purchased <a href="https://www.blogger.com/%3Ca%20href=%22http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0046VFTF0/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0046VFTF0&linkCode=as2&tag=my0dd-20%22%3EEspoma%20Company%20GT40%20All%20Natural%20for%20All%20Vegetables%20Garden%20Tone%3C/a%3E%3Cimg%20src=%22http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=my0dd-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0046VFTF0%22%20width=%221%22%20height=%221%22%20border=%220%22%20alt=%22%22%20style=%22border:none%20!important;%20margin:0px%20!important;%22%20/%3E">Organic Garden Tone</a> for my garden for the first time today. I've been eyeballing it for a long time and broke down and bought it. I used the entire bag making circles of Garden Tone around the drip lines of all my plants. The man at the nursery told me I'll need to reapply every month, but that I should see a huge difference very quickly. <br />
<br />
Yes, I know I have chickens and their manure is a great source of fertilizer, but sometimes it's just easier for me to buy a bag of something to put down. (LOL!)<br />
<br />
We shall see if there is a difference. I will add pictures to this post later today.Lisa Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183974747828955985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166995101636378123.post-42335942649406987492014-01-21T14:20:00.000-08:002014-01-21T14:20:24.683-08:00Re-planted "Lincoln" Peas today<a href="http://thefloridahomestead.blogspot.com/2014/01/planted-lincoln-peas.html">I planted a bunch of Lincoln peas in my Earthbox on Jan 8th</a> and we had a few heavy rains that pushed the pea seedlings up and out of the soil. Of the 35 I planted only one sprouted. Today I went out and planted 15 in place of the 34 that didn't make it. I also moved the earthbox to prevent the water from the roof from uprooting the seedlings. Hoping for more success this time!Lisa Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183974747828955985noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166995101636378123.post-14826275792311907172014-01-19T09:41:00.001-08:002014-01-19T09:44:26.015-08:00Today's HarvestHere's what I ran out and harvested this morning.

Yes, that is a bit much, but I'm hoping half survive and grow well. :)<br />
<br />
I also added the remaining coop floor contents to the flower bed and planted "Snowball Self-Blanching" Cauliflower.<br />

Crossing my fingers for lots of peas and cauliflower!

Here is a list of what you can plant in NOVEMBER:<br />
<br />
Beets<br />
Broccoli<br />
Brussels Sprouts<br />
Cabbage<br />
Carrots<br />
Cauliflower<br />
Celery<br />
Collards<br />
Kale<br />
Kohlrabi<br />
Leeks<br />
Lettuce<br />
Mustard<br />
All Onions (Bulbing, Green and Bunching)<br />
Parsley<br />
Radish<br />
Spinach<br />
Turnips<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">I plan on plantin ALL of the vegetables listed for November plantings, with the exception of radish possibly. I use radish as a trap crop for other vegetables, but no one in my family cares to eat radish, so I'll use whichever seeds I have on hand to intercrop and give them away when it's harvest time.</span>Lisa Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183974747828955985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166995101636378123.post-11273767858392528972013-10-29T07:35:00.000-07:002013-10-29T07:39:59.787-07:00Planted Super Snappy Peas todayToday I planted Burpee Super Snappy Peas (<i>GUISANTE Super Vigoroso</i>) in the front bed after pulling all the sweet potatoes and adding lots of compost. I placed my tomato cages upside down and planted the peas 2" apart both on the inner side and outer side of the tomato cage ring. <br />
<br />
<i><b>Seed packet information: </b>Pods are 5"-6" long, with 8-10 large peas per pod. Vines need no support and are tolerant of powdery mildew. Harvest in about 65 days.</i><br />
<i>Sow in average soil in full sun in early spring for first crop, or later summer for fall crop. Sow seeds 2" apart in double rows spaced 6" apart with 24" between each set of rows. Cover with 2" of fine soil. Seedlings emerge in 7-14 days. Thin to stand 6" apart when seedlings are 1"-2" high.</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
According to the seed packet, I can expect to see sprouts November 5 - November 12, and can expect to harvest around January 3rd.

I have harvested three melons based on all the recommendations I found online. Look for a dried up spoon leaf. Check to make sure the tendril was very dried out. Thump it. Thump it again. Look for the creamy yellow spot on the bottom. I did it all, but none of my watermelons were ripe enough to enjoy. I feed them to the chickens, which is okay with me. Hopefully the next one I pick will be ripe and red and sweet.</p>

I have spent the last several weeks cleaning up garden beds. There were (and still are) SO many weeds from summer. I had a few extra minutes today so popped out and planted lots of seeds that will hopefully grow and be bountiful through the fall and winter. <br />
<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>Planted Scarlet Nantes Carrots in front of the asparagus and next to the eggplant in the front yard beds. </li>
<li>Planted Black Beauty Zucchini near the chinese cabbage.</li>
<li>Planted Snowball Self-Blanching Cauliflower and Late Flat Dutch Cabbage in all other open spaces in the beds. </li>
</ul>

I'd get some lush growth then BAM the beans were dead overnight. I'm talking about dead brown twigs sticking up from the soil. It's been a frustrating attempt to say the least. I had big dreams of freezing, canning and meals of fresh beans by the bushel. Sadly, it would take weeks to get enough green beans to make one serving. All in all I'd guess we got a whopping 3 quarts of green beans these past months. Maybe I'm missing something. I even recently replanted a front bed with corn and green beans. I planted a 2' x 4' section of each, and every corn seed germinated and is growing. Only TWO green beans even sprouted. I think this soil is holding too much water and rotting the bean seeds (possibly). Green beans seem to do well in other areas of the yard...just not those amended with the soil builder. Guess I'll re-plant some in the mulched beds for a quick crop before I really start planting cabbage and broccoli.Lisa Dhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00183974747828955985noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4166995101636378123.post-23302195273917590872013-07-16T17:31:00.000-07:002013-07-16T17:31:16.010-07:00Planted Green Goliath Broccoli TodayIn the back bed, where I unsuccessfully attempted to grow heirloom muskmellons, I planted the remainder of a seed packet of Green Goliath Broccoli today. It's a bit early, but the weather has been bonkers lately so I'm taking my chances with an early planting.
