  1. Editing your planting schedule is easy! 🌱 Select any planting row or block on your plan, then adjust the planting/growing schedule via the right-hand menu. When you click on a plant, the Planting Details panel appears. Make changes, then hit the save button to confirm! #GardeningTips

  2. Old thatch from a friends (admittedly quite degraded) roof thatch repair.
    Great for the compost heap!
    Allows aeration & thatch straw is organic!
    The sprays used by farmers on straw to prevent mould etc actually speed up its degredation when used on rooves.

    Helped my friend get rid of some of the waste and to me financial cost zero!

  5. Attack of the ravenous cabbage caterpillars 🐛

    I discovered cabbage caterpillars in two of my broccoli grow bags. 🐛😫

    I can only blame myself because I literally saw those white butterflies flying around my brassica plants, and I didn’t even bother to cover the plants with protective netting until a couple of weeks later. 🤦🏽‍♀️🙃

    Lesson learned! Cover the plants right after you plant them!

    The caterpillars ate up the broccoli leaves good, too! Wow!

    So, I put on my gardening gloves and handpicked all of the caterpillars out of the grow bags

    It was hard to find some of the cabbage caterpillars because their green bodies blended in with the broccoli leaves.

    I think my broccoli plants can be salvaged. I immediately covered the plants with tulle for protection.

    I used the kids’ construction straws to make hoops for the taller plants. Hey, sometimes you just gotta use what you have on hand! Lol 😅

    Saved me about $15 so I didn’t have to buy a box of garden hoops on Amazon. 🙌🏾

    Thankfully, only five out of the twelve broccoli plants we have in the garden were affected by these ravenous cabbage caterpillars.
