Hand pollinating my squash! 🐝

🥒 Last year I let nature take its course and didn’t hand pollinate - I had only 4 squashes over the entire season!

☀️This year I decided to try hand pollinating. I have never done this before so I hope the fruit got the pollination it needed 😜

🌱You can use a paint brush or your finger tip, gently rub some pollen from the male flower (skinny stem) and rub it into the female flower (stem looks like a baby squash)

😎 Stay tuned for updates on my squash harvest. I love squashes so I hope I get a lot this year!

Perks of container planting 💐

🏵️ Saves space if you have a small garden (or a balcony)
🌿 Can be a lot easier than in-ground (raised - less bending, less weeding)
🌸 Easy to move, but also can be placed anywhere that is convenient for you
🪴If your soil type is not the best for your desired plants, pots are a perfect solution

☀️Use containers to add annuals to a porch or walkway, for herbs, and other vegetables - they can be placed anywhere! Keep in mind that containers will need to be watered more frequently than in-ground plants.

Edible arrangement! 🥕

🥬 Container planting herbs and veggies gives you best of both worlds - a decorative container for your space, plus some food!

🌶️ Using containers has many perks, but having your herbs and veggies in containers means you can put them in easily accessible areas - like your balcony!

🍅 There are many edible plants that do well in containers - tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, eggplants, peas, lettuces, herbs, and even squashes and potatoes!

🌱 Planting herbs and veggies in containers can also help motivate you to use them more - easily accessible and always in sight = daily reminders to use them up!

Peonies have such large beautiful blooms 🌼

Some fun facts about peonies:
🌿 There are 3 types of peonies: herbaceous (dies back each ear), tree (woody structure remains all year), and intersectional (hybrid between herbaceous and tree)
🕰️ Some varieties can live up to 100 years
☀️ They prefer full sun but some will tolerate some shade
✂️ Low maintenance - deadhead after they bloom, and cut back in fall (if yours are prone to diseases)

Foliage! 🌿The easiest way to bring colour and texture to your garden even without blooms

💐Sometimes forgotten when picking plants at the garden center, but foliage is so important!

🍁By having different colours and textures, you add interest to your garden the entire season

🌸Most perennial blooms only last a few weeks, so think about different foliage to have colour the rest of your garden season too!

My beautiful easy to grow edibles! 🥬 Chives, sage, dill, walking onions, blueberries, and raspberries.

🧅 They all come back every year! Chives, sage, blueberries and raspberries are perennial, the dill re-seeds very easily, and the walking onions drop small onion bulbs for next years garden.

🌱 Other cold-hardy perennial edibles include mint, oregano, thyme, and lavender. Be mindful of mint and some varieties of oregano and plant only in pots - they can be invasive!

Fun fact: the purple chive flowers are 100% edible! Give them a try - they’re a bit zesty/spicy 😜
