The First Leafy Greens Harvest of the Season
15.06.2023 - 13:27 / yougrowgirl.com
Yes I did, and almost a month early! It’s a pretty good one, too.
There are two reasons for the advanced harvest. One is that we’ve had a fairly mild March so far. Temperatures have gone above zero Celsius a number of times, for longer periods of time. As a result, plants kept under the hoophouse I installed last fall have been able to come out of dormancy early and are producing fresh leaves. The hoophouse build I construct is very affordable and surprisingly tenacious, all things considered. It was flattened a few times during particularly heavy snow storms and Davin had to very nearly reconstruct it about a month ago.
Because of some of the early warm days, I failed to water underneath and the kale was burned. Otherwise, it’s done a fine job as always and there’s already some self-seeded lettuce and mustard greens coming up in addition to the perennials and biennials that were advanced enough to harvest.
A small quantity of greens came from warmer parts of the garden where the sun shines more brightly and the ground is higher. For example, I foraged some garlic mustard that is growing in my neighbours’ yard, but has been pushing through the fence. They have lots on their side. I’d love to get over there to pick it, but we don’t have that sort of relationship. In the late fall I installed a few cloches and smaller, makeshift shelters for random edibles grown both in the soil and in the ground that I wanted to keep harvesting from later into the season or protect in case they were not hardy enough to survive. And example is Korean perennial celery (Dystaenia takesimana). This plant is supposed to be hardy, but I just wasn’t sure if that meant down to my zone, which is around 6ish. I’ve grown a wide range of different types

Learn How To Open An Above Ground Pool For The First Time
If you are reading this article, you are probably facing one of the two scenarios: You closed your above ground pool for the winter season and now that the weather is getting warmer, you are ready to go swimming again. The thing is, you have never had to open the pool after closing it in the winter before. The second case is that you have a new pool, but you do not have the experience to open the above ground pool yourself.

Miamicore Is the Home Decor Trend Bringing the Heat This Summer
When you think of the ultimate girls’ trip, beach getaway destination, Miami is always one of the spots that comes to mind. Especially with summer upon us, it’s understandable to fantasize about the dive bars and boat days this seaside city is known for—but if a trip isn’t in the works (at least not yet), setting up a staycation inspired by the coastal city is easier than ever now that Miamicore is taking over as a home decor trend.

Why the Olive Oil Martini Is the Next Must-Try Unexpected Cocktail Combo
Spurred on by TikTok food trends and digital recipe sharing by all-star chefs and mixologists, food and drink innovations seem to be popping up at an increasingly rapid clip. As we share, swap, and riff on concepts, creativity seems to be climbing to new heights, as well. In the drinks space alone, as recipe developers are seeking new ways to make their mark, we’re seeing a flurry of cocktail recipes that are a mash-up two drinks (ahem, Matcha Martinis), are variations on the classics (Parmesan Espresso Martinis) and are serious time-savers (we’re looking at you, freezer door cocktails!).

The power of plants with the Briiv Air Filter
Plants have special super powers: the benefits of living with plants at home in general, and in bedrooms in particular, are countless. They make a room look more alive, and your bedside table brighter. Taking care of your plants can also help you wind down after a busy day. Studies have even shown that by simply touching the leaf of a plant for two minutes, you reduce your stress levels! For a healthy bedroom regime, don’t rely on plants alone, however: Good ventilation, fresh bed linens, a comfortable mattress, good pillows, and an extra blanket, if needed, help you sleep better and improve your overall well-being. But not all bedrooms are bright enough to grow healthy plants: maybe there is only one small window or you don’t have a window sill, or maybe you don’t like taking care of even more plants. If that’s the case, or if you don’t want to wake up surrounded by plants (really: who are you?), you may want to rely on some help for healthy fresh air in the bedroom. And that’s where Briiv comes to the rescue! Briiv is an air filter that uses plant power to purify the air. Briiv is as powerful as 3,043 medium size houseplants. So you can enjoy the benefits of having plants in your home without the hassle.

The Most Beautiful Object at the Hampton Court Flower Show
The Most Beautiful Object at the Hampton Court Flower Show Lucy’s Smith’s exquisite stoneware Kingfisher Pool stopped me in my tracks. Look closely and you will see that not only is the watchful kingfisher perched on the rim, lurking in the depths there is a fish. It’s not often that I covet an object quite as much as this – but with a price that justifiably reflects that it is a work of art rather than a garden ornament, I’d better start saving.
