Today I'm going to combine a bunch of posts in one so that I can catch up on what's happening now.
I have been taking lots of pictures,
but I have been so busy getting ready for the growing season that I haven't had time to post them.
So here goes....
- Cleaning of Gardening Pots & Flats.
I washed all my garden flats and pots in my kids bath tub...eeeewwww! It was a MESS!! I was too lazy to do it last year--Note to self, after plants have been moved into the garden, clean them OUTSIDE..always!!
- Setting up indoor shelving with light for seedlings.
- Shelves filled with my new growing seedlings!
- Sharpened all of my gardening tools, shears & everything that needed to be sharp!
- I built two Bluebird houses to see if I could get some birds in my garden to eat the bad bugs. Houses are up....no birds yet!
-I stocked my greenhouse with a few more flats, vermiculite, peat moss, compost, & yes, I course, my PINK HELLO KITTY radio I acquired from my daughter (she doesn't use it anymore).
- started preparing my square foot garden beds for this years crop.
So far this is what I have been up to for the past couple of weeks! Busy, busy, busy.
Lots happening,
I hope to be more organized for this years growing season.
Until later!
Bug Hugs :-)
Wow, I can see how busy you've been... lol!!!

Thanks for visiting Glenda. Love your blog. I hope to have a greenhouse as big and beautiful as yours soon!
DeleteI always forget to wash pots too, and then end up with a huge and pretty mucky job to do once or twice a year.
ReplyDeleteI"m gonna try and do better this year!
DeleteI love it all! I am intrigued with your seedling light shelving! I need to do this. Can you explain it to me? Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteHi Robyn, I purchased everything from Home Depot. They are HDX Heavy Duty 6 Shelf Storage Unit. They are super easy to put together. The lights are just regular shop lights. I got some S-hooks (2 each light), and some metal chain links that they cut for me @ around 1 foot each. You would need 2 for each light. The light bulbs are Philips Daylight Deluxe and Philips Cool White, 40 Watt, 48 Inches. You get two bulbs per pack so you will need to use 1 Daylight Deluxe & 1 Cool White per shop light. Then I purchased the warming mats from my local garden store (Home Depot doesn't carry them) or you can order them from Gardenshoponline.com. They are 20 x 20 Seedling Heat Mats for $35.00 each. These seedling mats hold two flats (seedling trays) together. You can get the smaller one if you have smaller flats. Then a large garbage bag for underneath the shelves to protect my carpet. Two, 6 plug extension cords. One for the lights and one for the seedling heating mats, and a timer. Whew... I think that's it! Are you going to build one? It's great to have. I plan on planting and growing salad greens all WINTER!! Can't wait!
DeleteI am also intrigued with your seedling light shelving. did you design it or purchase it? and where? Thanks, Kathy
ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, Here is a copy of how I put mine together that I sent to Robyn. Hope this helps. I think I'll do a post about it!
