Late November

The beautiful Easy Elegance Snowdrift Rose is in full bloom, showcasing its delicate petals and vibrant white petals that attract a variety of pollinators, adding charm to the garden. The cabbage is growing in 4-gallon pots, thriving under the careful attention it receives, and promises a bountiful harvest for upcoming meals. I have lots of greens including turnips, beets, and bok choy, each contributing unique flavors and textures to our meals. The amaryllis seedlings in this group are 1 to 2 years old; I am nurturing them with patience, as it will be 1 to 3 more years before they begin blooming, bringing a stunning display of flowers that will be worth the wait. The last picture is a canna seedling, a lovely pink with striking dark leaves that contrast beautifully and will eventually add a tropical feel to my garden. Stay tuned if you like growing from seeds, as there will be plenty more exciting developments and tips to share along the way!

Winter Growing

My canna lilies and dahlias I want to keep are dug and placed in the greenhouse. I have a plan to continue growing my tomatoes and peppers. I took tomato cuttings of some varieties. I also have growing experiments planned with some dahlia and zinnia seeds. I will update when I get results. I am already preventing leaf miners by using a spinosad product. I am also going to keep insects and fungal diseases at bay using organocide alternating weekly with the spinosad.
