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 Part 2

 

04/18/2024 –After some reflections, I decided that the baskets of the OutSunny planters are too small for the Better Boy tomatoes. From my recollection,  I grew them in wooden half barrels because they were and are large indeterminate plants. Therefore, I transferred them to 7 gallon half barrels, with two plants in each barrels.

As for the OutSunny planters, I want to plant some Moonflowers in them. I also, transplants the German thyme and chives in the raised bed.

I must postpone the other garden work I planned to do this weekend, for the chores I must do in the house.

So true
