My daughter loves a flower garden. I am trying something new for the summer. I've planted a warm season pollinator mix I bought from Green Cover Seed in the same plot where I grew a spring cover plot.

Cutting Spring Cover Crop
Last month I planted these Daikon Radishes. They've started to bolt in the heat so I'm cutting them down. I'll just let the debris feed my garden plot a bit then plant something later.

I don't typically give my beans much fertilizer and these plants don't necessarily look like they need … Continue reading Plant Boosts

It is from him my love of the garden came from. So I feel honored to grow in these planters this year and I know … Continue reading Grow Boxes
