"Ethereal Elegance: The White Egret Orchid"

Captured in this image is the White Egret Orchid (Habenaria radiata), a botanical marvel celebrated for its delicate beauty that echoes the poised elegance of an egret in flight. Believed to symbolize purity and the spirit of freedom, this orchid enchants with its white, fringed petals that dance like feathers on the wind.

Thriving in cool to intermediate conditions with high humidity and ample light, the White Egret Orchid requires careful attention to mimic its natural boggy habitat. Water it regularly but allow for good drainage—its roots should never sit in water. With the right care, this orchid will grace your space with its otherworldly charm.

Marigold

I planted marigolds back in 2021 from the first time and I loved them. In 2022 I wanted to take a break, so decided not to plant anything, not knowing that I was going to get several free plants. I got several free cherry tomatoes, tomatillos that fruited A LOT! But I also got marigolds, many of them just sprouted and I was so happy, as they don't usually regrow in our region. It is November now, and I still got one more marigold here. 🐝 💚 🌺

From Seed to Harvest this blog is June’s list of plants and how long they take to grow before needing to be harvested. This list helps us know what we can and can’t grow based on what we are already growing and what we want to grow. Basically we rotate our plants and as new ones get harvested we plant new ones in their place. This list also helps us to know if there is time for the plant to fully grow before the first frost or cooler weather comes in. We hope you find this helpful as well.

Grow a Green Oasis: Container Gardening for Small Spaces

Do you dream of a flourishing garden but lack the space for sprawling flower beds? Don't worry! Container gardening is here to transform your tiny balcony, sunny windowsill, or fire escape into a vibrant mini-paradise.

Why Containers?

Container gardens are perfect for small spaces because they're flexible and portable. You can arrange pots to fit any nook or cranny, and move them around to chase the sun or create colorful displays. Plus, they're a low-commitment option, ideal for renters or those new to gardening.

Choosing Your Containers

Think size: Bigger pots are better for plants with deep roots, like tomatoes or peppers. Herbs and smaller flowers can thrive in cozier containers.

Drainage is key: Ensure your pots have holes at the bottom to prevent water from pooling and rotting the roots. You can add a layer of pebbles at the bottom for extra drainage.

Material matters: Plastic pots are lightweight and affordable, but clay pots breathe better and add a classic touch. Consider metal or wooden containers for a unique look, but remember they may heat up more in the sun.

Planting Power

Potting mix magic: Skip the garden soil! Use a good quality potting mix specifically designed for containers. It's lightweight, drains well, and has nutrients to nourish your plants.

Picking your players: Select plants that thrive in containers. Herbs like basil, mint, and parsley are fantastic choices. Cherry tomatoes, peppers, and lettuce are great for a veggie container. Flowers like petunias, marigolds, and pansies add a pop of color.

Planting party: Fill your pot with potting mix, leaving some space at the top. Gently loosen the roots of your plant and place it in the pot. Fill in the remaining space with more mix, making sure the plant sits at the same level it did in its original container. Water gently until water runs out the drainage holes.

Keeping Your Container Thriving

Sun seekers: Most plants need at least 6 hours of sunlight a day. Pay attention to your space and choose plants that suit the amount of sun it gets.

Watering wisdom: Water regularly, but avoid drowning your plants. The frequency will depend on the plant type, pot size, and weather. Stick your finger in the soil – if it feels dry to the first knuckle, it's watering time.

Feeding frenzy: Give your container plants a boost with a fertilizer formulated for container gardens. Follow the instructions on the package for dosage and frequency.

Top Tips for Tiny Gardens

Vertical veggie walls: Utilize vertical space with hanging planters or tiered shelves to grow herbs, lettuce, or cascading flowers.

Recycle and reuse: Repurpose old buckets, tins, or even teacups as quirky planters. Just ensure they have drainage holes.

Mix and match: Play with colors, textures, and heights for a visually interesting display. Trailing plants like vining vegetables or ivy can soften the edges of pots and add a whimsical touch.

With a little planning and these simple tips, container gardening can transform your small space into a flourishing haven. So grab your favorite pots, pick some vibrant plants, and get ready to watch your tiny garden blossom!
