Oregon Tree Hugger

Spring is fast approaching, so it is time for some spring planning in terms of planting! Now is the time to finalize those varieties that you will be growing and get your seed growing kits ready. I added new seed varieties this year as well as a new seed starting kit with heat mats.

Trellises for vegetables and other plants can be expensive but they don’t have to be. You can use the things you find around you to make your own trellises with gardening wire.

The morning sun cast a soft light on the gardens here a the Hugger House, and I took a tour to review how everything is doing.

Of course I worry about frost. Will my tender veggies and new blossoms survive a night of cold temps? Will their growth be stunted? Will their flowers not set? Will their fruit production be reduced?

It’s spring, and the peas are coming up. Check out the latest update and pictures to the wine barrel container garden.

The first vegetables enter the wine barrel garden – sweet snap and snow peas. I’ll tell you how I use the barrels and how to prepare your barrels for planting.
