With the arrival of March, we find ourselves once again preparing our garden for the upcoming growing season, which means it’s time to replenish our essential seed starting supplies and planting trays. Specifically, peat pellets are absolutely at the top of our priority list this month, as they are so crucial for getting our seedlings off to a healthy start. Beyond that, we’re also making sure to stock up on high-quality beefsteak tomato, cherry tomato and eggplant seeds, ensuring we have a diverse and bountiful harvest later in the year. The good news is, we were smart enough to save our planting trays from last year’s gardening adventures, so we’ll be happily reusing them this season, reducing waste and getting a head start on our gardening tasks!
Field Mice
“I’ve recently observed an unusual occurrence in my lawn, I’ve noticed the appearance of numerous holes and what appear to be snakelike markings across the grass. After some research to understand the causes behind these disturbances, I’ve concluded that these are most likely being caused by field mice or voles, which are apparently quite active beneath the current snowpack, creating tunnels and pathways through the ground.
Although they look unsightly, these trails generally do not permanently damage the lawn, and the grass usually recovers on its own or with light raking and reseeding.
Seed Starting – Cherry Tomatoes and Eggplant
It’s that wonderful time of year again – time to get a head start on my garden by starting the vegetable and flower indoors, preparing for the spring planting season. I’ve prepared by reusing my trusty seedling trays from last year’s successful harvest and stocked up on a fresh box of peat pellets, ensuring a healthy and sustainable start for my seedlings. I kicked things off with some exciting varieties, including cherry tomatoes and eggplants, eagerly anticipating the arrival of my beefsteak tomato seeds. Beyond the delicious edibles, I’m also nurturing a colorful array of flowers, including cheerful African daisies and the vibrant Mexican sunflowers, promising a beautiful display later in the season.
