Start your Gardening Starts





I recently attended a gardening class on 'starts.' That is, starting plants from seed in your own home. If this is a hobby that interests you, the costs are minimal but the rewards are great. For under $20 you can start enough plants to fill a 10 X 20 foot garden plot. Thus, for under $20 you will have more than enough vegetables to feast on all summer long.


Not all seeds need to be started in planters, some seeds like carrots, squash, pumpkin and corn can be started in the ground. Depending on where you live, the best time to plant starts or seeds is after the last frost. If you leave in Utah, that is around May 15th. Since some seeds can be started in the ground, you will want to wait to plant those till the last frost. If you want fresh tomatoes, bell peppers and herbs, to delight your summer recipes, you can start those seeds now in your home.


You will Need:


--Seeds (Tomatoes, Peppers, Herbs, Annual Flowers, Perennial Flowers, or what ever else strikes your fancy.)

--Pony Pack Draining Planter (small planters that have 4 to a group)

--Holder for your pony packs to catch run off water

--Good Potting Soil (Miracle Grow is always a good pick)

--Water

--Warm place in your home

--Good light source


Getting started is simple, you just need to pack your dirt firmly into your pony pack and give it a good watering. After the excess water drains off, read the back of each of your seed packs. The seed packs will tell you how far to plant your seeds and how long each seed takes to germinate (this is the time from when you plant it till it pops through the dirt and needs direct light). If you are planting Big Boy Tomatoes, you will most likely have to plant each seed 1/4 inch deep and the seeds will germinate from 10 to 14 days. Be sure to write down what you planted, the day you planted it and how long it takes to germinate. This will help you keep track of when you should expect to see plants popping through the soil. After you see the starts pop through the soil, you want to place the planters under a direct light source for 13-18 hours a day. You can use a window, but it is best to put the plants 1 1/2 inches to 2 inches under a florescent light. As the plants grow taller, keep your light always that distance from the plant. You will be adjusting the lamp or light height regularly. Keep the dirt moist and your plants will be perfectly happy. Come May, you will have a variety of perfect plants to transplant in your outdoor garden for a fraction of the price of buying plants.

More Changes

Here are pictures of my favorite rooms in the entire home, my master bedroom and the master bathroom.
Before Master Bedroom: This picture was taken 2 days into our great remodel. We had pulled up the old carpet and discovered the wood floor beneath is rotted. We were discouraged at first, but took the opportunity to whack some of the creaks out of the old floors when we laid the new subfloor!New Master Bedroom!!! IN the master bedroom, we hung crown moulding and new base boards. We added a walk in closet (shown in older post) and we added a master bathroom. We laid new plush carpet and painted the walls with two tones. There is a new window and new window trim.

Before: Upstairs bathroom. Since the upstairs bathroom was quite large and spacious, we decided to split the bathroom into a 1/2 bath which has an entry from the hallway, and a master bath which has an entry from the master bedroom. We used the original entry to the upstairs bathroom as the entry to the new 1/2 bathroom, and we knocked out the old master closet to make more room for the 1/2 bathroom and an entry into the new master bedroom. Here are the before pictures:

Of the picture above, we knocked the wall out on the immediately left of the picture. That wall used to frame out a hall linen closet, which we removed to make room for a 1/2 bath.
In the picture below there is a towel rack. We knocked that wall out and moved the entry further back into a large master bathroom.This picture was taken 2 days into our project. You can see we have knocked out the wall where the towel rack was and it opened up the space into the master bedroom. This space was formerly the master closet. We kept the tub and toilet and sinks in basically the same areas. After: Master Bathroom. In this room we turned the single vanity sink into a double vanity which has a knotty alder cabinet and a granite counter top with under mount sinks. We kept the toilet in the same place and added a new tub. We pulled up the old linoleum and I laid textured tile. We hung bead board on the walls, added all new oil rubbed bronzed fixtures and replaced the old tub with a larger garden style tub! We added tile around for the tub surround and used bead board to frame out the new tub. I came up with the tile design myself, I tried to have a hint of 50's to our design with the black checkers and the contrast of the white bead board.
Sorry this picture is a little out of focus, I didn't have time to re-take it. I used a variety of different tiles to create this surround. Thanks to the help of Mark's family, we were able to get all the tile in the bathroom done in just 2 days! After: 1/2 bathroom. Because the 1/2 bathroom is smaller, it was a little difficult to take a good picture, so here is a shot of me poking my head in the door and looking at the pedestal sink we added and new mirror. We also added the bead board in the 1/2 bath and we tiled the floor with Travertine to match the kitchen tile.
Here is what you would see if you opened the door of the 1/2 bathroom from the hallway. I used travertine here because it flows from the wood floor area just like the kitchen flows from the dining room. That way, I have travertine butted up next to wood floor, and it keeps a consistency in the home which, I think, ties the home together better.
I am glad you like the changes so far, I will keep posting more and more!
