"Life Is Better In The Garden"! Finally, our September community designed T-shirt is here!

I apologize for the late delivery of our September T-shirt - 'Life Is Better In The Garden". I have been under the weather and mostly in bed the last week or so. So I wasn't very on top of things. And then of course as I get better and get organized to launch our September Tshirt, the tech goblins decided to have some fun. They had so much fun I had to get help in stopping their shenanigans. With all that commotion, I have finally been able to launch our community Tshirt. As usual, we have a week to get our orders in. Thank you for your help in creating it as well as your patience with me these last couple of weeks. ❤️ Life Is Better In The Garden

A couple of weeks ago, Cabbage worms stripped my Kale down to the veins. I cut everything back to the main stalk and dipped it in a bucket of soapy water. I also cut back the parsley growing next to it back to 2 inches above the soil level. The good news: It seems to have worked. Both the kale and the parsley are coming back. I almost always harvest parsley this way anyway. I expected the kale to come back as well. The bad news: Something keeps nibbling off the budding kale leaves. We have ground hogs, rabbits, and squirrels. I have some empty milk crates now, so I'm put them upside down over it. We will find out if it is squirrels or the bigger fur balls. Always an adventure.

I started indoor gardening when I was 18. I grew four pothos plants up to six feet long and hung them over my dorm window as curtains. Fifty years later, I now have over a 100 houseplants and two outdoor gardens. Few people relate to my love of outdoor container gardening and houseplants. With this group, I know I have found my tribe.
