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...

Dear April - You Suck

Today was supposed to be the day Winter Storm Walda dumped 6-12 inches of snow on us. Schools closed down the night before. I brought work home to work from home. The day before major storm, I wrestled with the idea of putting some sort of cover on the ground to protect what we've planted. My husband jury-rigged one of those big blue tarps, just in case. After talking to some work people and my grandpa, I was told to not tarp. The snow would be all the insulation everything needed to survive. I called my husband. He already put the tarp down. I asked him to take it up. He did. All on the same day he had a root canal. Who feels like the worse wife ever? Me. Then guess what happens? Absolutely nothing. Those 6-12 inches became a dusting with a lot of wind, but not much else. So the next debate happened. Should we tarp now? Grandpa said yes, not gonna hurt it. Husband said no, that the tarp ...

Plant Problem #1: Zucchini

So I guess now that our garden has moved passed the infancy stage, we are starting to notice some issues as everyone is getting bigger. I had a mild heart attack taking a closer look at my zucchini this weekend. Mainly this: Can you see that gnarly baby zucchini. What the hell is that?? Called grandpa (duh), he said it just didn't pollinate correctly - trim off and move on. So I did. Here is close-up grossness. Otherwise, our zucchinis are looking beautiful. I've been admiring all the blossoms and wondering if I should try and cook them. I've seen it done on Chopped after all.... I hope that I'm complaining about how much zucchini I have in a couple of months, desperately trying to pawn it off on poor saps. My poor parents - they are going to get it from me AND grandpa!
