Despite a few duds, the seedlings are coming along nicely.

I am so impressed with this rhubarb. It went hard until the end of October and here we are mid march and it's ready to party, even with below 0C overnight temps.

Ducklings grow like mushrooms - fast! #GrowYourOwn #Campbells

Tomato seeds are in. 2 varieties, orangeto and cocktail crush. Not grown orangeto before. Proper labels for the 1st time this year. I usually methodically label on wood, but they all get lost or become illegible in no time and I soon forget what I planted #GrowYourOwn

Anyone know what these are coming up in the polytunnel? I don't recognise them #gardening #growYourOwn

One muntjac and pigeon protected growing space made from reused wood, wire mesh and netting.

This will probably be for growing broad beans and then brassicas.

This Swiss chard on my balcony planter is more than 2 years old.

I have harvested #leaves from it at least 9 times and it's time to cut more leaves again to make #vegetable #soup.

It is absolutely delicious & the highest ROI of my #balcony #garden. #SwissChard

I’m growing potatoes the lazy way this year - in bags. Half-barrel being prepared for carrots later. #gardening #gyo #growyourown #allotment

Asiasalat, Estragon, Basilikum drinnen ausgesät. Malaberspinat bzw Klettersalat auch. 2022 schon mal gesät, braucht viel Feuchtigkeit und Wärme. Wuchs war mässig. Hat hier jemand das auch schon probiert? und Anbauerfahrungen?#Garten #Anzucht #Salat #Spinat #Growyourown #Gemüseanbau #Kräuter

Some of the replanted California Wonder 300 peppers have sprouted. It looks like it's last years seeds so what I saved must be duds. Probably should have did a germination test on everything. Everything else is doing good.

The greenhouse full of soil blocks. It’s sow time. #GrowYourOwn #SeedStarting #SoilBlocks #GreenManures #Gardening #Allotment

Starts from #seeds are growing well. I think it's time to sow some peas... #GardeningMastoson #GrowYourOwn #GYO #GrowLights

Recently I learned something new about using vinegar to kill weeds,

For several years I have used 30% strength vinegar in a ‘chemical resistant’ spray bottle to spot spray weeds. This is a very effective weed (and grass) killer.

This spring I sprayed some weeds but the result was not what I expected. The weeds stayed green and growing.

Turns out that the acidity of vinegar declines over time when exposed to air. The vinegar I used this spring was a bit left in a gallon jug that I purchased last year. A few days ago I bought a new gallon jug, sprayed some weeds and they died just as I expected.

If you want to try this, do not use grocery store vinegar. It is not nearly strong enough. I buy mine at the local big box lumber/hardware store. Make sure what you buy says 30%. Look for it where they have cleaning supplies. And if you use a standard spray bottle then the acid will destroy the spray mechanism after a bit. That is why I use a ‘chemical resistant' spray bottle.

Also, when I spray this stuff I am wearing rubber gloves that come halfway to my elbows.

One bed completed without a compost delivery. Just went a little more lasagna on the top of the bed.

Currant and peas planted with transplants waiting in the wings to finish hardening off. First bed at our actual home. Feels pretty amazing.

It's been fun to weave years of health into something. The lower half of the bed is mostly hugelkultur, with upper layers of compost and homemade biochar, then lasagna of bedding straw and compost/soil mixture.

It's a 30" deep bed, so a lot to fill.

Growing Onions and Leeks in the City

This genus of plant can be divided into bulbing and non-bulbing types, with onions and shallots the bulb type and leeks and Welsh onions not producing bulbs…
