I have one really sad ivy plant. My mom planted the ivy sprigs from my wedding bouquet to create a new potted plant. She does this often with ivy clippings and has always had success. Seeing as it was my bouquet, I wanted to bring the plant to my apartment. I live on the 5th floor of a 27 story building with a 16 story building 100ft away to the ( ... )

Succession planting in containers

Every year I tell myself that I'm going to start my garden earlier to maximize my growing season by planning my space more carefully and utilizing succession planting.

Here is a picture of my self-watering bottle garden. It took me a while to cut the bottles right. I'm still working on it. And I used cotton balls instead of string for the wicks. The chive plant needs a taller container.

It is a beautiful autumn afternoon in Melbourne, part of which I have spent tending to our little garden. I have potted and pruned, and sown strawberry and lettuce seeds. And now hubby is sitting on our balcony soaking up the sun and reading the paper. I think I'll join him ( ... )

This is my second attempt at growing a garden at my apartment. Last time I bought plants from the store, and promptly killed them all (most likely from over watering). But this time, I bought seeds, pots and potting soil and BAM. I got these beauties! (And in the end, I ended up planting the entire package of seeds in each pot, because I really ( ... )

I just- and I mean quite literally two minutes ago -planted some herbs. I've been trying for several years to get pots of herbs going but in my last place the sunlight never seemed to be enough. I'm in a new place now, with massive windows, and I'm hoping that will help (granted I'm on the Northeast corner of the building, but I do at least get ( ... )
