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. I was not planning to post my houseplant and backyard journals online, so editing them for errors was not a priority to me. This being the case, perhaps, one day I will correct all the spelling and grammar errors in both of them. We would not want people to think I did not know better, when I was only being lazy. Again, no apologizes. It is what it is for now.

Setup New Planters for Tomatoes and Transferred Herbs to Raised Bed

04.17.2024 – Today I assembled the tall Out Sunny planters for Better Boy Tomatoes. I never grew them here in Florida before, but I had great success when I grew them from seed in Kentucky.  

How to Grow Better Boy Tomatoes

Also I don’t have them yet, I went ahead and made the soil and fertilizer mixture them will need to grow. 


 


I also top dressed the raised bed and transferred sweet basil and two rosemary plants in it. There is an older rosemary from a year or two ago that make up third plant. When get the German Thyme and Chives they fill in the extra space in the raised bed. I am thinking about getting some Lemon Grass to make another pot of herbs and maybe some Hot Pepper.
