Welcome!!!

If you stumbled among this site, "Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Garden" is a collection of journal entries that I have kept on my computer for years, and have now decided to post. The journal contains my successes and failures with my favorite selections of plants. I'm talking about more than 50 years of caring for and living with green things. Not everything is here. More of it is learned and store in my head. However, here I will share facts about each plants, my research, as well as my personal and gathered tips on their care.

How My Garden Grows, or Not, Sic: Journal Entry 04/21/2024

04/21/2024 – Today I setup the Better Boy planters with a cone and water bottle. It is never to early for them because the weather will be topping 90 degrees plus soon and I want the tomatoes plants to thrive. I am also thinking of placing them in a more sunny location. When I awake tomorrow morning, I will measure the amount of full sun those are getting in the garden. If they are getting an average of six hours a day, I will leave them where they are now.

I also threw out the four young rosemary plants I recent bought. I am not sure why they died, but two of the four plants I left in the pots them arrived in and the other I transplanted in my raised bed, and strangely enough they all died within three day of delivery. I replaced them with the remaining thyme, basil and chives plants, which were in the window plant center. Luckily, I still have the older Rosemary plants. It looks a little straggly now, but it will fill out over time


To end the day, I added a decorative "Farmhouse World Cast Iron Scroll Cross".
 

All that is left for me to do is trim up the two yucca and corn plants. My husband (Fang) will help with the final clean up of the garden's grounds.
