Join Eli and Kate and share the gardening fun
Are you ready to get your hands dirty? Today is all about pricking out and potting on (or even transplanting) onion seedlings! If you’re not familiar with the terms, don’t worry, we’ll get into it. First off, let’s take a moment to appreciate my adorable little onion seedlings. They may […]
This week I’ve started the first in a series – so for all you tomato growers or would-be tomato growers, this is for you. This one is all the background info you need to know in order to grow tomatoes successfully. It isn’t about having a greenhouse or grow lights […]
