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...

The Soil Analysis that Finally Happened!

I planned on doing soil testing for probably the last five years. I thought it would be fun to see what came back. So this year, with the excuse of a new garden space and how important it is to check your soil for any dangerous components (read: lead), I purchased the plastic bottle and instructions for sending in a soil sample to the extension office at Colorado State University. I picked up the kit at Tagawa's this winter and sent it in this spring. You basically collect bits of soil from different parts of the garden bed, mix it all up, make sure it is dry, and mail it in. You also have a form to fill out with history of the area, planned use, and any amendments that have been done or are planned. I was shocked when my soil report arrived in my email inbox. I'm not sure why, I guess I just assumed I'd get a report via snail mail. I took some screen shots of the pertinent information I received, mainly pH, texture, organic material, and miner...

"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...
