Garden Freedom on Instagram: "Benefits of companion planting...🍅🌱🌼🥬 Companion planting can benefit tomatoes by enhancing their growth, deterring pests, and improving overall garden health. Here are some companion plants for tomatoes: 🌱 Basil: Planting basil near tomatoes can improve their flavor and repel pests like aphids, mosquitoes, and tomato hornworms because they contain eugenol oil in their leaves. 🌼Marigolds: Marigolds release compounds that deter nematodes, which can be harmful to tomatoes. They also attract beneficial insects like ladybugs and parasitic wasps. 🧡Nasturtiums: Nasturtiums act as a trap crop for aphids and whiteflies, drawing them away from tomatoes. They also add a pop of color to the garden. 🥬Lettuce and Spinach: These leafy greens can be interplan

Briana Bosch on Instagram: "‼️ Growing your own mulch is THE MOST IMPORTANT SKILL you can have in the garden! Learning to do this came from a place of necessity: our property had a heavy weed seed bank and my soil needed help but I couldn’t afford to just buy in all that soil, so i focused on healing what I had instead. Mulching the soil helps the soil food web by providing consistent moisture and temperatures, while providing organic matter and forming fungal associations from the plant roots to the soil life. But I couldn’t spend all spring putting mulch on an acre and good mulch was surprisingly hard to find (that was undyed, not treated with herbicide, and not full of weed seeds)! So I started growing my own (by cover cropping). I started with easier to kill crops like oats and peas a

I've been waiting to show any part of this process bc I honestly didn't expect it to work and didn't want to get your hopes up 😆 But this saved me space, soil, and time by not having to up-pot these babies, and best of all they were so happy and STRONG 💪 Next time I'm going to try it with tomatoes, basil, and maybe even peppers Would you try it? #gardeningtips #gardenproject #growingfood #growyourown #growgardensnotlawns"

Zone 7 Gardening on Instagram: "I get asked where I buy my seeds very frequently. And depending on the person, they often ask a more specific question: “Where can I buy seeds that don’t come from Monsanto?” The reality is that the majority share of all seeds in North America are owned by just 4 parent companies, Bayer (who bought Monsanto) being one of them. Why is this bad? Well there’s probably 100 different people that would answer this question 100 different ways and they’d all be right. But from my perspective a lack of competition is rarely good for the market, particularly where food supply is concerned. These massive companies continue to offer more and more unstable hybrids that require human intervention to be produced. Secondly, just google Monsanto and read for about 5 minut
Hannah | Maple Lane Farmstead on Instagram: "I start tons of seeds beginning in February. I can’t wait because we’re setting up our seed starting shelves in the next couple of days😊 Now, there are some perennials I will buy as plants, but Lupine is one I definitely will grow from seed. The only trick? I soak the seeds for a day or two before planting, because they have a very think seed coat. This aids in germination. Lupine attracts bees & other pollinators, and it looks beautiful in bouquets😍 But! It might not be the best fit for your area— in some regions, it’s considered an invasive species where it can spread very quickly & negatively impact the local ecosystem. Always remember: before planting a new plant, check to see if it would be a good fit in your garden. What other perennial

Gardening Know How on Instagram: "6 Ways To Reuse Old Potting Soil 1️⃣ Landscape hole filler or topper for current beds - Use old potting soil in the landscape to fill any holes on footpaths. It can also be used to top off existing flower and vegetable garden beds. ⁠ ⁠ 2️⃣ Starter soil for new beds - Are you installing new beds in your garden that will be used in spring for flowers or crops? Old potting soil makes a great base soil. In the spring, you will top it with new soil and add appropriate fertilizer.⁠ ⁠ 3️⃣ Compost heap - Here is the easiest option of all: Simply toss the old soil or unused half-bags of soil right on the compost bin. A good compost pile should be a balanced mix of green material, brown material and soil. ⁠ ⁠ 4️⃣ Layered on lawn - Lawns need love in winter too. Wh

Stephanie LaRae on Instagram: "They’ll never know I’m gone! 🤫 Potted plants dry out quicker than those planted in the ground, so I like to set up this super simple self watering system if I’m going to be gone for more than a couple of days. Here’s what you’ll need if you want to give it a try: 👉🏾 Terra cotta pot. Mine is a 2” pot but you can use a larger pot depending on the size of your container. 👉🏾 Water bottle with a hole poked in the cap. 💦 Tip: I give my planters a good soak right before I leave. ⚠️ Disclaimer: results will vary depending on the weather and how long you’ll be gone. I recommend doing a “dry” run before you leave. 👩🏽‍🌾 I’ve had success on 4-5 day stints for spring break. Any longer and I’ll have a friend come by and water my plants for me, especially
Dad Advice From Bo on Instagram: "Easy underground sprinkler that costs about $100 (a little more if you make mistakes, which I always do) and can be done in a half a day.

It’s as simple as gluing pipe that is designed for high pressure and I specifically make the sprinkler arms flexible so I can

Sharon~ Gardening & All Things Outdoors on Instagram: "Follow these instructions for sweet pea seed sowing in January! 🌱🌸 1. Use old loo rolls to grow them as they need good, strong and long roots to develop into happy and healthy plants. These can be planted directly into the borders/pots in April. 2. Fill 3/4 with seed sowing or regular peat free compost. I prefer seed sowing as it’s finer. 3. Add one seed per tube and cover with 2-3cm more compost. 4. Place on a warm and sunny windowsill. 5. Water little and often to avoid mould growing. I’ll be back with part 2 in 2-3 weeks when these should have germinated. I’ve grown successfully without a greenhouse so please don’t let that put you off! Happy Sowing! #sweetpeas #sweetpeagrowing #cutflowergrowing #flowergrower #flowergro

Tapiola Homestead on Instagram: "Poppies are such an easy way to add big impact to a flower garden! There are a couple key things to understand about them: 1) they resent transplanting and 2) they need a period of cold stratification to break seed dormancy for optimal germination. You can scatter the seeds on the soil surface during late fall (after first frost) or early spring (before last frost), but my favorite method is to freeze the seeds into little ice cubes. This gives more flexibility
🌸GINA’S FLOWER GARDEN 🌸 on Instagram: "Wildflowers/ poppies were the first flowers I ever grew. Sprinkling the seeds and creating my own little meadow was the very start of my gardening journey- and something my little girl and I did together. I remember looking out of the window with her to see what flowers had popped up! This is my 3rd year of growing annual poppies now (I have added some orientials too which is super exciting). Unfortunately my Autumn sprinkled ones got trampled (thanks Poppy 🐶)- but that doesn’t matter as Spring is still the perfect time to start. I’ll start my scatter party at the end of this Month, then sprinkle them around the garden every 2 weeks until May! Any gaps I have in the border will be filled with seeds. I’m by no means an expert but here’s some th

Joce (said like Joss) 🌱Gardener on Instagram: "Fun Friday Tip! Stop throwing out your toilet paper rolls, your paper towel rolls, and any brown packing paper from your packages. Shred them and save them for your spring garden! Adding a layer of shredded brown paper to your garden as a mulch will help suppress weeds, reduce watering, and then it will break down and add carbon to your soil!

Briana Bosch on Instagram: "Only downside of this trellis is the ability for sheep to get inside and eat all your plants (ask me how I know). We’ve used these same bamboo stakes for four years now, and they’re still holding up great—but when they are no longer usable they’re biodegradable! We start with 8’ bamboo stakes and push them about 1’ into the ground at an angle at 12-16” intervals. One bamboo stake goes across the top, and then two more horizontally on each side are tied in with twine. This makes for a VERY stable trellis! I then tie a piece of twine to the top and run it down to the soil level and tie it around a metal staple to hold it in the ground. Wrap the twine around the stem of the plant and voila! A beautiful natural trellis! We’ve grown tomatoes, peas, beans, and eve
Zone 7 Gardening on Instagram: "It’s pea planting season! I made this trellis from those free hardwood off cuts I got from a local cabinet maker. Check out my YouTube for a full tutorial! The video is linked in the DIY highlight! This design is incredibly easy to build and it can scaled up or down to fit any size or application. Credit to Mitch @pnwnodig and his “DIY pea trellis” reel for the inspiration behind my design. I did make a couple changes so that mine is collapsable and can be adjusted to fit your planting needs but also packs up flat for storage. #trellis #pea #peas #beans #beantrellis #organicgardening #raisedbeds #raisedbedgarden #nodig #nodigallotment #nodiggarden #zone7gardening #zone6 #zone8b #zone7a #zone7b #springveggies"

Jenna Meadows | Meadows Flower Farm on Instagram: "A forever fave- snaps!! How I grow mine: 1. Snapdragons do best started inside because they take a long time to grow- you’ll want to start them 8 weeks before you want to plant them outside. I plant these 8 week old snapdragon seedlings outside in the fall to overwinter (they are hardy to garden zone 5 and warmer!) and plant seedlings out again 6-8 weeks before my last frost date in the spring. They enjoy growing in the cold! 2. There are four categories of snapdragons to help you know what variety is most appropriate for blooming at the desired time for you. Group 1-2 snapdragons (varieties such as Chantilly and Costa) grow best in the spring, when temperatures are cooler and light levels are less intense. Group 3-4 (varieties such as
