Welcome!!!

If you stumbled among this site, "Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens" 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.

Picked My First Batch of Indoor Hydroponic Grown Collard Greens

 Thursday, March 12, 2026

Harvested my first batch of Green Glaze Collard greens this morning, and what appears to be one of my last batches of mustard greens. Theses mustard greens were planted on November 16, 2025. That is a long time, and luckily I have gotten four batches out them so far is good thing.  I will keep picking and freezing them as long as they keep growing. In addition, I will germinate more seeds for both greens this weekend.
