Went to my backyard for fresh parsley and this turnip was basically sitting there like, @ I’m ready!” Lol. #gardening #pnwgardener #pnwgarden #gardenhaul #blackwomengarden #organicgardening #vegan #vegangarden https://www.instagram.com/p/CHq-fvmprIu/?igshid=glp0q9w8x8e0

An early start for a small batch of nightshades- usually I'd hold off until mid-February, but all these mild temperatures (snow doesn't count!) are making me antsy for spring! At least I'll have a hoop house for them this year! In this tray are eggplants, peppers, and ground cherries. #gardening #pnwgardener #indoorgardening #seedstarting #seeds #growyourown #organicgardener https://www.instagram.com/p/B7jGa-wJGOP/?igshid=oz2jer0o5465

We got a new thingamagigy... errr... a doohickey... a temperature checker thing. . It’s wireless and will monitor the high/low temps and humidity in the house, the canning kitchen, the greenhouse and out in the garden (I knew those @amazon points would come in handy one day!!!) and it was SUPERDUPER simple to set up. . You can get one for only $45 (reg. $60) - use this code: https://amzn.to/2N7KtQj (sorry it won't hotlink, but its almost short enough to remember) #thefrostwontgetajumponme #30daysuntilourfirstfrost #pnwgardener #ocdapproved #washingtonhomesteader #alwayslearning https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpGjdHFaP9/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1rh7q3xx6tiy5

Next year. . I’ve said that a lot as fall is closing in on us. . Next year there are many plants I intend to get into the ground earlier. . Beans are one of them. . I really loved using Scarlet Runner Beans as a sunshade, they have such delightful blooms, but it wasn't until the last week or so that they actually shaded anything. Seriously, I have gotten more shade from some of my former associates than I got from these beans! 😂🤣😝 . Next year - what are you planning on doing differently in your garden? And how are you going to insure it happens? #pnwgardener #alwayslearning #shadypost #scarletrunners https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkuCgLlyrS/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1iymaj1ehmchh

WEEDS!! That bane of my existence. One row of corn weeded and dressed with straw. Three more to go, but to be honest, these corn plants aren’t even a foot high. Wondering if I should even bother! #Zone8B #IHateWeeds #GrowYourOwn #SummerHarvest #Corn #LamsQuarters #Thistle #BackToEdenGardening #PacificNorthwestGardener #PNWGardener #WashingtonStateHomesteader #WAStateHomesteader #HomesteadersOfInstagram

Harvested a bunch of beet leaves for dinner tonight. We cook a little bit of bacon and onion, then we wilt the leaves in the residual bacon grease, chip chop up an orange and add it right before serving. It was delicious, but I think that I prefer it with a can of mandarin oranges. How do you eat your beet greens? Or do you? #Beets #GrowYourOwn #SummerHarvest #PNWGardener #WashingtonStateHomesteader #EatYourGreens

I’ve been growing rhubarb for the past 4-5 years now... unsuccessfully... in pots. Yesterday, they finally have their own bed! We were able to divide the root ball of the largest plant in to three separate plants, which was really scary. Fingers crossed that rhubarb is as hardy as everyone says they are! What did you get done in you garden this weekend? #InTheGarden #Rhubarb #GrowYourOwn #Garden #PNWGardener #WAHomesteader #StrawberryRhubarbDessert #HopeWeDidItRight #OnlyTimeWillTell #WeCanGardenProject

Last night, we soaked some seeds prior to planting them today. I read several articles that encouraged adding a few drops of peroxide to the water which supposedly prevents bacteria and adds needed oxygen. I waited until this morning try it and let it sit for a few hours before planting. Has anyone else tried this? #AlwaysLearning #Gardening #Gardener #PNWGardener #MaritimeGardener #ProckSide #SeedStarting #GrowYourOwn
