Being Creative with Indoor Vegetables

I ran out of ideas for now. Perhaps if I cover some of my progress with what I'm doing for gardening. Well, I think I found a place for my Peas that we're being comical. They're still together. Side by side of course. But now they have a sort of Trellis and teepee to cling onto and climb if they want.


And I've given my dwarf Carrots a bit more room. I can't help but laugh at this. I just moved these Pea plants no more than an hour ago, and already the bent character has it's vine wrapped around one of the teepee poles. Their fast I'll give them that. Didn't see a thing.....sneaky fella. I wonder if I watch it long enough I'll see it move??

Wow! Talk about fast effects!! That was quick!!! They compete with each other. The other is trying to catch up. It's twisted itself around the pole now by it, and trying to slowly climb. I'm anxiously awaiting for my veggies to get towards harvesting.

I swear these plants are beginning to grow an inch a day! It's very challenging when you can't lift a lot because of a stroke. So I just try to let some sunshine in my room each day. On a rainy day I catch a little natural water in something to treat my plants. This is the first time I've really experienced indoor planting, but I'm trying my best with it . I'm used to being able to plant outside. There are a few new challenges since a stroke, but I figure the exercise will do me some good.

So far, so good. This is also my first experience with herbs. I usually grew Tomatoes, peppers onions garlic etc...
If I ever get moved into something I can afford, I'll see if I can put directly into ground. Whew! Watered, and allowed to drain, now chilling in front of fan to catch some breeze for a few. I think I will keep all posted on the happenings with my little indoor garden. Hopefully it will do well and it will not only Feed me some much needed fresh food , but help me have something to do, and assist me in getting better with a little muscle build up, and rewire that mind more. I have noticed more usage of my right hand again . Using more often. 

I not only did this little garden to help just me. At some point I hope to have a yard(even small), plant and share my food. There's just me, and I know what it's like to be homeless and hungry, and have nowhere to go. I want to give back to the community. I feel very blessed, and someday I hope to return that. Besides one person can't use this all and I always over plant.

I hope you have enjoyed this article as much as I've enjoyed writing it.  Have a wonderful, amazing day. Enjoy growing, stay safe, and Happy growing.

When Your Plant Says: "Gimme some Elbow Room!!!"

Image
Its odd. We, as human beings never realize the things we have in common with plants. They have a love for pretty music, and cheerful tones, so do we. They adore attention, so do we at times. They like quiet conversations, us too. And they also have some physical features in common too!They have Elbows, which are important, which I'll explain how they're vital to your plant, especially if they are a Pothos, or another vining plant similar to it. Elbows(also known as joints), are like your plant's lifeline. This may be where you notice new growth. Often times it is where new branches bud from, or new leaves. Every once in a while, it doesn't hurt to check for new growth, and clear any old debris that may be slowing down new twigs, branches, or leaves . As the weather gets warmer, it's always a good idea to clear out any debris from your plants, including veggies. You feel better when you clean up, they do too . And it healthier (generally speaking), to kee

The Main Tools You Want For Gardening

     The basic tools you're going to use almost daily in your garden, are a good trowel (hand held), and a good Spade, rich potting soil, and maybe some  kind of fertilizer. This will give your plants, and flowers that added zest to feed them. Fertilizing can really give your plants a great boost, but only when done well. So please be sure to do plenty of research on the subject. There's a lot of information that can be helpful. If you  have a vegetable fetish, and would like to really pinch corners, then the next time you buy  produce of any sort, pluck the seeds out, set them on a dry paper towel, or paper plate, or most anything you feel they'll be rather safe on, and allow them to dry in the sun for a few days. When they feel as if they have dried enough to put them in the ground, you have seeds for growing.You can also do this with raw corn, cataloupes, watermelon, lemons, oranges peas, beans, and (maybe even rice), never tried it. Experiment. Try all veggies i
