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.

How My Garden Grows, or Not, Sic: Journal Entry: 06.02.2024

06/02/2024 - On Friday May 31, 2024, because of the intense heat, I used my trusty water meter to determine which plants actually needed watering, and only watered them. This is the same method I use with my houseplants. I also added some fertilizer granules to the edible plants.

 


Because my back and hips have paining me a lot this week, I am forgoing removing the dead leave that have fallen from the oak trees, and doing it tomorrow.  It is these leaves that I asked my neighbor’s gardener to help me with but instead my monstera plants were cutting up. There was no mistaking what leaves I was talking about. What was done to my plants was plain meanness, and without provocation.
