My First Raised Bed!

January 10, 2024January 17, 2024 E. Lewis
Two raised beds with summer crops growing. Row covers are being used as canopies to block the harsh sun. Watermelon vines cascade over the side of the bed closest to the viewer.

On January 14, 2023, I started my first raised bed. I was itching to start a garden in a real yard, having recently come from a small balcony area of growing space in Colorado. Also, the soil was clay and had in-ground sprinklers that I didn’t want to disturb. So – raised beds. This was a lesson in passion, and also patience to completion.

Rescued Shastas – A Pictorial

November 10, 2023November 10, 2023 E. Lewis
One Shasta daisy plants in full bloom (yellow center with white petals) Leaves from spring Chrysanthemums encroach from either side. Spring Dahlia and Daylily leaves intrude into the foreground. The bed is freshly mulched.

I bought these rescued Shastas off of the clearance rack at Walmart in summer, 2022. Being early August, I imagine they thought it was too hot and too late to do anything with these. You also know Walmart had to get that fall stock in! Seriously, these Daisies looked fine to me.
Come on home plant babies!

My New Greenhouse!

November 7, 2023November 9, 2023 E. Lewis
Completed greenhouse at dusk. Visible plants are banana , lemon, and avocado trees; pepper plant; citronella plants. Small white Christmas string lights line the roof and solid walls.

I created a new greenhouse out of mostly reclaimed materials! The still small voice and his hand of provision were with me all the way.

Mulch for Protection

October 17, 2023November 9, 2023 E. Lewis

Mulch can be like a good friendship.
Mulch – is protection for roots and plants.
God provides spiritual protection, and friends protect each other as we grow in life.
