There’s something downright magical about starting a plant from seed and then getting it in the ground. Grow, Jericho Romaine- grow!

Seeds started, dirt delivered, and more raised beds built. So many good things to share from the Ferocious Garden this season. What are you excited to try this year?

First round of starts ready to germinate! Hopefully they sprout quickly - this unusually warm spring is fantastic, but has me feeling a few weeks behind schedule.

A good early showing from the garlic. Makes me happy after a very strange winter!

Tea Bags

I’m planting a few more herbs this season. Looks like a great project - maybe even to give as gifts?

52weeksproject:

Time: 2 hours

Materials: Loose leaf tea, coffee filters, sewing machine, paper/scissors


1. Cut two identical rectangles from the coffee filters.


2. Stitch three sides then fill the bag with tea (1 tsp should be enough— make sure your tea has space to expand)


3. Sew the final side, fold string/yarn in and staple.

I just made sushi for the first time the other day, and now in the next few weeks I’ll have some seedlings who need fertilizer. Looks like a perfect use for some of our left-over nori!

Love the info graphic. We don’t have many deciduous trees around the Ferocious Garden, so I’ve definitely been considering other options for this coming year.
