Bought four bunches of green/spring onions at the supermarket. Stuck ‘em in the ground. They’re doing fine. North Shore of Ohio.

Good Friday good morning to you! Everything here is a month early (that is according to the “official” weather peoooooooople.) I suppose I should start thinking about the garden. It seems odd to have to pull weeds before the taxes are due...but just to be sure that we are still in WI, a freeze is forecast for tonight.
PS — there is another thread started. But, yours is prettier.

Home garden coming along nicely - 12 of 14 raised beds planted - everything but 1 type of watermelon up and happy.
This is a bit of a tangent, but it is garden related and it is Good Friday.
I am raising $500 to help a small Christian orphanage in Pakistan start a chicken farm and vegetable garden - so they can feed and support themselves.
The Facebook page is: ‘Love and Hope Christian Orphanage’.
50 X $10 buys 50 chickens and everything they need to make this dream a reality.
You can ‘buy’ a chicken via PayPal: loveandhopeproject@gmail.com.
18 chickens raised so far - only 32 to go.
Thank you!

For those of you traveling for the weekend, I wish you a safe trip! And I wish each and every one of you a blessed Easter. Enjoy! The same wish to you all my FReeper Gardening freiends.
My daughter and I travelled to southwest Florida yesterday to spend Easter with my Dad and Aunt.. It is absolutely beautiful here, but like so many other places they are dry, dry, dry!
Happy Easter all.

Dear (Not)JustaDumbBlonde :)
Kindly add me to the gardening ping list.
I am starting my first ever garden this year, 100 sq ‘.
It’s going great so far but I’m kind of scared!

Well, silly me! I didn’t think to check for a thread before I started one! Oops.

We have been drying some of the gorgeous spring flower blooms in the garden for later use in craft projects - cards, bookmarks, etc. What we are using to dry the flowers is the 'Microfleur' Flower Press Kit for Microwave Ovens. It works very well - you can dry flowers in minutes rather than weeks. We have been quite pleased ..... here's a link:

One of the gardeners got itchy for the thread and started it. I presumed they had been in touch with you and were given the ok. So I provided a ping to the thread.

You can grow an abundance of food in a 100 sq.ft. garden! Please let us know if you have any specific concerns. Welcome to the group!
