Gardening, By Numbers, 1, 2, 3....
Morning Mist!
...Tomato, with some water mist!
There are not going to be too many more mornings with seedlings and plants in my basement, before they all head outside, for hardening off.
I took a moment, to have some fun, with the mist bottle, and my camera. It was fun, capturing the water droplets, on the leaves of the tomato.

- I have another three 10 Gallon (For Brussels Sprouts), and twenty 10 Gallon grow bags, to fill, that's the last of them. These will be for pepper, tomato, Zucchini and Summer squash. These will get my usual 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 peat, 1/3 compost mix, plus Espoma® Garden-Tone and some worm castings. At the least, I need to gather the soil, compost and peat for this and perhaps start to mix it.
- end of week, I will start Hardening OFF my peppers: transplanting outside, within 10 days.
- Next week, I will be hardening off Tomato, and following week, squash, Zucchini and more herbs! It takes about a week for Hardening off plants. so, once I start, I transplant in 7 or 8 days, depending on weather.

A sure has a wonderful and a beautiful garden.
Your days is well planned and I really love it.
Assistant gardener? You know he heard a rumour about the rabbits and is hoping one will fall out of a pot of soil for him to play with right?
HAHAHAHA
Probably he is HOPING for that!
Play with, then eat!!! I don't think he wants to have the game end with both of them happy 😂
depends on the cat. Tramp will play with mice she catches and then leaves the body for me to find.
Still not a happy ending or fun game for the mouse 😂
!PIZZA
I've heard of using grow bags for root crops like potatoes, but how does it work for melons and tomatoes? I assume that you just use the bag much like a pot?
I've used the Fabric Grow Bags for the past two years, this is year Three!
Many of the gardeners I follow use them as well. Last year, I did Zucchini and Squash in Grow Bags, too... and yes, I use the exactly like Clay Terra Cotta pots, or plastic gardening pots.
As for success? Here's a link to my Final Tally Harvest Video:
A few hundred pounds, plus jars and jars of fruit, pickled items, plus gallons of tomato sauce, still have 3 left from last fall in the freezer!
Excellent :) I guess vegetables mostly care about soil and light, rather than traditional living quarters :)

You're such a workaholic and I love it. Wait did you just call that cat your assistant Gardener? Hahaha! I'm imagining how much help it gives😎.
He helps.
Well, Helps if you call scratching me, or tripping me, until I feed him. That kind of help.
He's an indoor cat and does not come outside for gardening.
Hahaha! I totally understand his kinda help 🤭
I love all your crops in this photo, they look very healthy.
It's great to see you planting so many varieties of potatoes and onions! keep us informed as to how they go.

I shall keep updates coming regularly.
I've just about doubled the number of Fabric Grow Bags this year, compared to last.
Here's last year's Recap Harvest Video if you are curious about totals:
That's an awesome harvest! I reckon it deserves a little !pizza
I started wit grow bags only last year and they are my preferred non aquaponics option though I am thinking of how to incorporate them.
best thing about Grow Bags is that they promote better root growth. Anything that is a heavy feeding plant is better in Grow Bags. The roots grow out (like any normal container) but instead of simply circling around the outside of the container, once they "feel" the air outside the bags they stop growing around outside, and promote more growth in the interior. Lots more nutrient uptake.
we tried our Thai Capsicum in them this year. At only about $8 each from the local hydro shop, they're my choice for this Winter for plants that need to be moved for the Sun.
good choice!
I don't have a garden but I don't even know how to start one indoors but you seem to be doing an amazing job of growing veggies indoors. Do you ever get to transplant them outdoors at any stage?
Starting tomorrow, I begin to transplant outside. I have to wait until the ground warms up enough 10ºC at night and ground that temp at least (50ºF).
Alright. Isn't it possible to have the plant grow till it starts yielding fruits indoors, inside a bucket
Some plants, sure, will grow indoors. But most will give more fruits, and bigger, with outside sun, and more room to grow!
Over winter, I did grow some things indoors to have fresh food. I do like getting them outside when it warms up, to grow bigger and better!
