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.

Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Garden journal entry 01/11/2025

 No entries were written in December 2024, because I wanted the plants to grow more before posting a new entry online. I would say that my experience with Hydroponic indoor gardening to date is successful with very little hiccups.

The plants are as listed below, not in order:

Patio Baby Eggplant
 


Alpine Red Strawberry

Tiny Tim Tomato


Lemon Thyme

Spearmint, Salad Bowl leaf lettuce on 2nd row
 

Tangerine Dream Sweet Pepper

Young Parris island romaine lettuce
 

Green onions/scallions

UPDATE: As some of you may have discovered there is an embedding error between Google and YouTube that prevents viewers from watching YouTube without sign in or some cases viewing video at all Firefox. Therefore, I have added a share link for the above, However if you are using Firefox, you will probably need to sign in to your YouTube personal account. Let's hope that this embedding error is fix soon.

In addition, there are various herbs seeds planted. However they just beginning to spouted and are to see of camera. The store green onions were bought on October 30, 2024 and are still growing. One the leaves is budding; however, I will remove, so that it will not flower.

The lettuce in the larger planter is ragged, because we eat regularly for salad and BLTs sandwiches. While the Spearmint plants are regular trimmed and made into tea and my favorite summer evening drink, mint julep to keep the plant in control.


All in all my experience is successful.
