Nurturing Green Joy: Winter Gardening Delights
As the frost settles in (Yes, even in North Central Georgia it gets cold and frosty), my garden becomes a sanctuary of resilience and surprises. Join me on this update where we delve into the challenges of house plants, my repotting plans, and reflections on the passing year.
Garden Update
Winter hasn’t silenced my garden; instead, it’s a symphony of Brussels sprouts, cabbages, and broccoli standing strong. With cabbages earmarked for sauerkraut and Brussels sprouts braving the winter, recent heavy rain has primed the soil. This weekend’s forecast promises dry weather, a perfect cue to embrace the winter garden. We also plan on Napa cabbage for Kimchi.
House Plant Challenges
Venturing indoors, my plants aren’t as nice. House plants are hard to manage sometimes, when you concentrate mostly on the outside plants. But, their significance in improving indoor air quality, particularly for my son’s asthma, is not lost on me. A spotlight on a downtrodden cactus sparks contemplation; perhaps, a larger pot could be its savior (go Cactus soil).
Repotting Plans
Embarking on a journey of repotting, my ambitions encompass basil, a mysterious cactus, and the art of selecting pots one to two sizes larger. Terracotta pots take the spotlight for their benefits. In the video, I share insights on scoring discounted pots and showcase a basil plant flourishing from last year’s garden.
Additional Information
Encouraging viewers to revive ailing house plants becomes a mission. Anticipation for the upcoming gardening season is contagious, and I urge y’all to reflect on your own gardening journeys.
Year-End Reflection and New Year Wishes
Reflecting on wins and “failures” in my garden, I emphasize the invaluable lessons learned from setbacks. For beginners, I advocate starting small and seek insights from seasoned gardeners on their favorite plants and seed sources. I also recommend seed supplier and a dive into seed stratification to round off your seed and plant growing skills. Stratification is fascinating.
Closing Thoughts
I champion a positive mindset, even in gardening challenges. A teaser for the next video—a tantalizing grilled cheese bacon blackberry and jalapeno sandwich.
