These radishes spent two months refusing to grow properly. We have one hot weekend and they start to bolt! Ingrates. #garden #gardening #gardenblog #urbangarden #urbangardening #containergarden #containergardening #backyardfarm #deckgarden #gardenproblems #radishes #growyourown #plantblr #plantstagram

Three weeks ago this marigold was sparse and struggling with a phosphorus deficiency. I sprinkled some slow-release 20-20-20 on the soil, and now it’s recovered and thriving!

The Slope That Ate My Garden (And How I’m Fighting Back)

Opening: That dramatic spring rainstorm last week turned my backyard into a mini Grand Canyon. I watched helplessly as three of my favorite hydrangeas slid downhill like they were late for a meeting with the Hudson River.

The Problem: Our property’s 25-degree slope has always been… ambitious. But after five years of bandaids (more mulch! bigger rocks!), it’s clear I need professional help. The final straw? Finding my garden gnome buried up to his hat in sediment.

The Discovery: While doom-scrolling erosion solutions at 2 AM, I stumbled on Hilltop Masonry’s Service Areas page. Their gallery showed a Croton property with terraces that looked like natural stone staircases for fairies. No ugly concrete walls in sight.

Takeaways:

Dry creek beds can be pretty (who knew?)

There’s an art to positioning boulders so they look “accidental”

Apparently, I should’ve been planting switchgrass this whole time

Closing: I’m not ready to admit defeat to gravity yet. But maybe—just maybe—this is the year I stop trying to out-stubborn the landscape.

So Tuesday was fun. The girls stayed home most if the day but in the evening went out to uncle Luois and Auntie Brailey's house for dinner!! My Honey Bunny took no pictures while they were there but they did bring me back some leftovers!! When I got off of work I was washing some dishes and spotted a muskrat chewing on our tomatoes!! So Alvin and I ran out there to stop it. Alvin had no idea what was going on but then caught its sent and took off after it. I was impressed, he got a treat for that after. I got things ready for the girls bed time and just waited for them to get home while doing chores. It was quite but then girls had a good time. #newus #firsttimehomeowners #gardenproblems (at Knoxville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgjt3CZAWgz/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

The garden harvest. Already battling assorted pests and disease. So far I’ve discovered squash beetles, hornworm caterpillars, Japanese beetles, slugs, flea beetles, tomato wilt, cucumber mildew….. the list goes on and on. I try so hard to keep to organic methods but every year I feel like it’s an uphill battle I inevitably lose. There only so much that neem oil and diatomaceous earth can do! It’s a good thing we have real farmers in this world who are way better at this than I am! #gardenproblems #gardenharvests #growfoodnotlawns https://www.instagram.com/p/CQuBRMys-OQ/?utm_medium=tumblr
