what a beautiful award Lynda :)
ReplyDeletecongratulations......
I have a huge admiration for people with green thumbs as I am sadly lacking in that area :(
have a lovely weekend :)
Not only do I NOT have a green thumb, Kim, I am just plain domesticallly challenged. (Yes, that means "in all areas!")
ReplyDeleteYou are so very welcome, Lynda. What kind words... I am deeply touched. And no one as creative or in touch with nature as you are is truly "gardening-challenged". You just have to approach gardening the same way you approach your art--don't look at the big picture but take it a bit at a time. Next spring, start out small with a simple terra cotta pot at least 1 foot in diameter, some good soil (like Miracle-Gro for veggies), and 4 seedlings of 4 different varieties of lettuce from a local nursery. Ask the nursery pros to give you a demo on how to transplant seedlings into soil (they love doing that). Go home and do what you saw them do. Put the pot in a location that gets at least 6 hours of sun a day. Every day stick your finger in the dirt. If the soil is dry to the touch, put about 16 oz. of water from the tap in it (using a water bottle makes it easy). In a couple of weeks, begin to snip off leaves every time you want a salad. The lettuce keeps growing even though you snip the leaves off. You can have salads for an entire spring that way! It's that easy. Cindy at Rosehaven Cottage
ReplyDeleteThanks, Cindy. I do fairly well with houseplants but have never tried veggies. As for the outdoor gardening, time is a factor and so are the vines constantly intruding from neighbors' properties. At one time I had it under control, but it's gotten away from me and I can't seem to rein it in! It would help if they kept their overgrowth under control! The bittersweet is choking out even the tallest trees!
ReplyDeleteAnd there's all that art pulling on me...taking up my time
But fresh lettuce would be a treat. The produce which we've had from a friend's organic garden has been out of this world!
