I need to keep a pen and some labels/markers in my pocket anytime I am messing around with plants. I planted some spinach seedlings between the rows of sugar snap peas and I planted cauliflower and cabbage seedlings (which I don't expect to amount to anything) in an earth box and planted some spinach seedlings between them. I have at least one "mystery" 4-pack. There really isn't any good excuse for not taking a moment to label things.
I dug up 2 raspberry plants and put them in pots. I cut a few raspberry plants to the ground. Oh, it is SO hard to cull. I need to get over my hesitancy. I will have several raspberry plants to give away. They spread like crazy. I planted 3 plants about 3 years ago and they have spread like crazy. I am trying to do better with them this year.
I am not seeing much sign of carrot seeds. I had them spaced out on a cheap paper towel and pre-sprouted them before I planted them out. Still no sign of corn. There are hundreds of little seedlings coming up in my earthboxes. I think they must have been in the compost. Not too hard to pull them up, but I want to be sure I'm not pulling up beets or radishes. I already forgot where I planted beet seeds.
Next week I will be planting things at the community garden. I need to keep a pen and some labels in my car, along with some gloves. I was looking into growing ginger. I just found some ginger root in my refrigerator that I bought in October to put in juice. At $1.49 a pound, it is almost to cheap to grow my own. I think these roots are not fresh enough to grow. Tumeric is something else I was looking into growing. It is similar to ginger. I would love to make some crystallized ginger. http://www.tropicalpermaculture.com/ginger-permaculture.html
I have seen people using stones as plant markers, painting the names of the plants on the rock. I guess that is a good idea. The ginger that was in my refrigerator was on a styrofoam tray. I hear they make good markers, and they can be written on with ball point ink, which also leaves an impression. I think cutting tags from aluminum pie plates and writing on them with ball point pen, making an impression, is also a good idea. How to attach?
I wish I had more money and could invest in plants and materials and tools to make my house and yard and garden more into what I want them to be. The cattle panels I want are 4 gauge wire. the welded wire is 14 gauge. The cattle panels don't have to be stretched.
I think I have found a place to buy pallets for $1 a piece. They have some guy who comes and picks them up, but I think I could get them to save 4
