Ladybugs: Your Garden's Secret Superheroes

Ladybugs may be small, but don't underestimate their power!

These tiny insects are your garden's secret superheroes, feeding on harmful pests like aphids and mites that can damage your plants.

And the best part? They're completely natural pest control! Instead of relying on harmful chemicals, let these little heroes do the work for you.

Plus, they're so cute! I mean, who wouldn't want a ladybug crawling on their hand like me?

It hurts to cut these strawberry runners because they grow new strawberry plants. But these are first year strawberry plants and they need time to focus on root growth. Strawberry plants typically last only three years. So let them run after they have established roots.

Happy Snowfall, Seattle ❄️

Seeing as how some areas are being more affected than others, here are some tips for enduring snow in the garden:

Keep the snow on your cold frames (within reason). If you have a light dusting, or few inches of snow on the tops of your cold frames, this can provide your plants with some insulation. However, know the limits of your frames. If you have or are expecting heavy snowfall (Everett, Lynnwood, Mill Creek, Monroe, Duvall, Woodinville, and all of Snohomish County) and have plastic coverings, brush off enough to prevent the frames from breaking under the weight.

Cover newly planted young trees and shrubs. This can help to prevent damage to branches and soft stems. Stake near the base to prevent them from uprooting in winter winds.

If you plan to salt your driveway/sidewalk/patios, be sure to use sparingly around your plants and landscaping. Salt can cause damage to root systems and foliage. Be aware of water runoff locations in your yard. Salty runoff water can pool in lower areas of yards and landscaping.

If you notice branches of trees bowing under the weight of snow, it’s always good to go out with a broom and knock the snow off to prevent branch breakage and damage.

Go play in the snow!

Feel free to rebolog this post and add more methods for protecting your garden in snowfall.

Stay warm everyone!

How to Grow Tomato Plants From Seeds

On the commercial level, tomatoes are mostly grown using artificial fertilizers. They are harvested before ripening and travel long distances to reach the supermarket’s shelf. They look nice on the store’s shelves but do not taste as good as homegrown tomatoes.

Homegrown tomatoes will enhance the taste of your salads, pasta, and sauces.

🌱🌱Poll Question🌱🌱

As spring time approaches (that’s a joke for all you Maritime Northwesters), this blog tends to get flooded with posts that tend to stray away from the houseplant/succulent/cacti theme.

I am curious for input:

Shall I create an offshoot page from this account that deals solely with food gardening/growing? This can make for followers whom want to see only houseplant content continue to only see said content. For followers whom want to learn about food gardening and growing, they shall be able to access the information without having to sift through the houseplant/succulent/cacti posts.

If there is interest, I will hunker down, think of a offshoot blog name, start the page, and start the content creation as if it were day one of my raised beds creation and journey.

Let me know what you think. Even a simple yes/no answer through a reblog/ask box/inbox. It would be for you all, my follower base.
