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.

Update 2 What a Surprise!

  Morning, Darlings


If I had known I would have woken to this, I would have waited a day before posting yesterday's update. 

Although my plan is to use photos to track the growth progress of these Contender and Tendergreen bush beans, it never crossed my mind that their germination would be so rapid.

These guys will produce their true leave soon, and then I will move them to the tower. As for the other seeds, they should sprout soon. However, the ones that have grown so tall have been placed in another germination tray because they were pushing up the tray's lid ,and I don't want air circulating around the ones that have not germinated yet. 

Nevertheless, I am pleased with the beans progress so far.

Until next time, 

     Keep Growing!
