Evelyn’s Twigs, Thyme and Stranger Things Gardens: Since the Great Divide

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.

Since the Great Divide

Hello, Darlings

This evening I am posting some photos of the growth of the lettuce, chives and scallions growing in the three repurposed countertop pod boxes since I added the 1.4” T8 light tubes and the cardboard to panels to separate them. Added to the fact that I also gave the plants fresh water and more nutrients, I believe that I have perfected my countertop grow light center. Although still young, each of the vegetables has grown well in less than a week.
