Happy Fool's Spring! 🤣🌻🌷☀️🌦
It's March and now is the time to pre-order your plants so I know how many to start. I finally get to put my Greenhouse "Sunny" to good use to grow all of the plant starts. I will be selling some plant starts this year. Here is a link to the SISU Urban Farm 2025 Plant Pre-Order Form:
https://forms.gle/3Rq83jhFSJw7sajr9

IMPORTANT! Please fill out the form by March 15 as I need to start the tomatoes/peppers 🌶🫑🍅no later than that date so they are ready for you to pick up in May.

Please complete the order form below to pre-order your plant starts. Plants can be picked up in my greenhouse in May. You will be emailed/texted information about pickup day. Plant pre-orders can be purchased with Venmo, Zelle or CashApp. You can also drop a check or cash by my house. All plants are...

I got smart this year and took cuttings of my basil, mint, oregano and parsley and dipped them in rooting powder before putting them in my aerogardens. Voila! Year-round herbs!!

Last week I harvested three of my potato crops that I grew in grow bags. I used PawPaw Ridge's method of dumping them into a wheelbarrow to harvest them and it was really easy. You sure don't get many potatoes for all that work and time but at least I have some real Idaho potatoes!

I would like to introduce everybody to my garden protectors, Clarence and Impi after my Grandma and Grandpa Ohman. They were the inspiration to my love for gardening and I have yet to see a garden that has even come close to matching theirs. I really wish I had spent the time when I was young to get all their garden wisdom.

Hopefully, they will help me keep these blasted crows away!

Did you know that Starbucks will give you free coffee grounds? You just have to go inside and ask. They save them for gardeners. I put them on blueberries, cucumber, potatoes, peppers, and rhododendrons. Any acid loving plant!

I've also been told it repels bugs and the neighbor's cat because of its strong smell.

Heat Advisory Tips for the Garden...🥵

1. Shade cloths and umbrellas can help protect plants from the intense sun forecasted this week. ☂️

2. Mulching can help by retaining water for your plants. I use these mulching blocks I got at Costco earlier this spring.

3. I lengthened the amount of time my sprinkler system waters💦 my garden temporarily until these 100+ temps go away. 🌡

Stay cool! 😎
