Coffee Grounds and Garden Sheds

I love how gardening is having such a resurgence around the United States. Or maybe it never left, I'm just more in tune to its presence now.

For example, I was grocery shopping a couple weeks ago at a King Soopers with one of those Starbucks near the entrance. Low and behold, there was a box of free coffee grounds - Grounds for your Garden.

I snagged the last two bags and put them in our compost holding container. Since we have a tumbler composter, it's recommended to fill with it your materials then stop adding materials until the batch is done, which is the stage we are in right now. Since I didn't want to stop collecting kitchen scraps, we took a plastic tub with some holes and that's where "compost ingredients of the future" go.

Other exciting news, I finally broke down and agreed to get a shed for our back yard. There are so many bulky items taking up our garage (i.e., wheelbarrow, fertilizer spreader, various sleds and kid equipment, etc...).

We decided to order this sexy thing:

It's roughly 7x7 and should hold lots of junk nicely. I'm looking forward to putting in some peg board and having a place to hang all our garden tools actually near the garden.

My husband is diligently trying to get the foundation space ready, which of course will be no small feat because, of course, there is a sprinkler line and head right smack in the middle of our desired location. To be continued.

My Little Review of Smart Gardener

My good friend introduced me to Smart Gardener via Pinterest . The description was something along the lines of, "this site plans your garden for you." As a new gardener, I was skeptical. Sounds a little too good to be true, but I checked it out anyways. At first I was enamored. It allows for garden planning in 4 steps: 1. Layout your garden - you are able to choose the square footage of an in-ground garden, or choose from a variety of containers/raised beds. Cool! 2. Select your plants - this is limited by season, and you cannot mix cool weather and warm weather vegetables. Not cool! Varieties of vegetables are also limited if you are looking for something specific, but you can add them manually. 3. View your plan - you get a little image with your selected plants on it, plus the space they require in your garden (square footage), planting depths, seed spacing, plant dimensions, and what to plant next to each other or not (F...

"New" Tomato Cages

One day (in 2014) I stumbled upon a post in the LA Times about tomato cages (article from 2012). There seems to be a lot of theories out there about how to grow tomatoes (up, on the ground, upside down?), and I knew our homemade cages last year where just painfully too short for how large those plants became. I really liked this cage configuration from the Times - it seemed simple enough and cost friendly enough. I initially checked out some of the basic cages at the nursery and were surprised how expensive they were. I went to Home Depot and was able to find fun colored ones for roughly $6 each. My wonderful mom purchased 10 for me, paired by color. They are nice enough that they can be reused year from year, and they stack well - not taking up too much room in an already too full garage. I was able to buy a pack of 6 bamboo poles for $3. So 5 permanent cages for $35-40. Perfect. Setting up the cages was relatively painl...

Why Hello Chives and Strawberries

As of Saturday, we'll have been in our new home three months. Currently in our new yard, we have a somewhat hideous attempt at a garden. I'm not sure exactly when this first picture was taken, this was a pic from the original listing. The split-rail fence has gots to go. If you take a closer look, you can see that there appears to be a random mishmash of plants in here. Looks like there is a rosebush (two actually), some green thing (sage bush), and my husband discovered chives and strawberries. Huh. We've struggled on deciding what to do with this space. I'm not sure I want my garden around an A/C unit and so far this "garden" is just a hot mess of weeds, rocks, and random plants. Our current plan is to scrap everything except the strawberries. I hope to make enough room in the next week or so to put a cucumber and zucchini in the ground, but time is running out. I also want to enclose the strawberries an...
