I've been out in the garden even tho it's been cold. The Fern Garden is beginning to fill in a little, but until it really looks like a "Garden" I'll wait to post a new picture.
My latest area of study is pests and diseases. I've found that many of these pests can be countered by using a special soap. Hurray for a green treatment! Big caterpillars on tomato plants can just be picked off with a gloved hand. Even some smaller ones can just be removed too, but most are so small you just have to treat the whole plant.
Keep a watch on your garden. If you see leaf damage, gray molding or stunted growth, it's time to check for pests!

Ok, so I didn't inherit the green thumb... I'm not good at growing stuff, but today I realized I could really get into container gardening. We have two homemade boxes on the deck with strawberries and a variety of lettuces. I've been given the green light to plant more stuff in pots on the deck. Yay! :)
Don't forget the fertilizer! Most of the time, soil has lost it's ability to grow with any success. Especially if you just go dig it up somewhere.:)
