  • Have you heard of Paw Paw trees? They are a historical native fruit tree to a large part of North America, but we hardly know about them! But during the last few years, they're slowly being talked about and the best part: planted again!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I was finally able to try the fruit a couple of years ago when a friend (thanks Chuck!) found me some. Some say it tastes like a cross of between a banana and a mango. That’s a definite stretch, but they are interesting and have beautiful trees! Mine are finally blooming this year. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #fruittrees #pawpaws #gardengeek #iowagarden #frommygarden #fruittrees
  • I think all the alliums will be in full bloom this week! It’s a nice reminder that nature still continues to grow and bloom as if nothing has happened in the world. This Memorial Day is one to remember, especially for everyone who has fought a battle. May and June are such happy months in the garden, complete with ample rain spurring regrowth and many blooms. Keep on blooming, friends!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ #memorialday #garden #allium #alliums #gardendesign #farmgarden #farmyard #farmhousegarden #iowagarden #countrygarden
  • I've been learning from Mom since the beginning 🥰 This woman has worked tirelessly in the yards since I can remember. Growing up she used to spend hours daily in the vegetable garden hoeing, picking, and pruning. Now with the raised beds, she spends more time with the fun stuff 😘 I love that we both enjoy working together, and other times... not so much 😬 Cheers to all our garden friends!⁠ ⁠ #garden #farmhousegarden #farmyard #farmgarden #gardendesign #gardenguy #riasedbeds #gardensofinstagram
  • If you’re a first-time gardener or a seasoned pro, tomatoes are a summer must! Planting process: - For a sturdier plant, dig a hole that's slightly wider than it is deep. Unlike a lot of plants, tomatoes should be planted deep to ensure substantial root growth. - Lay the root ball and some of the stem sideways, allowing the roots to form all along the planted area. - Press the dirt around the plant. - Water gently. Tomatoes do not like to be wet, so let dry thoroughly before watering again. If you don’t have a garden, tomatoes are perfect for containers. A large container that is sturdy and won’t tip over will ensure a healthy plant! The one mistake even I have made is planting them too early. To ensure this doesn't happen to you, make sure to check the last projected frost date and wait until nighttime temperatures are above 55 degrees F. #gardenguy #tomatoes #howtoplanttomatoes #raisedbed #raisedbedgardeninng
  • Every time I plant something, I think of the quote that planting a garden is believing in tomorrow. Doesn’t that seem so poignant currently? I often wish I could speed up the growth for what I plant. But at the same time, ten years go by and all of a sudden, things are fuller and taller. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I planted six of these red (Briotti) horse chestnut trees last year. This year, they obviously haven’t grown much but they are blooming and give me so much excitement for their future growth! I love something that is unique and not traditionally seen in the surrounding landscape. This farmyard is slowly becoming a "farm yard" 😬🎉❤️ ⁠⠀ #treeplanting #blooming #springbloom #farmyard #farmhousegarden #garden #gardenguy #greenthumb #gardendesign
  • Certain garden seeds are so tiny that I sprinkle them in a row instead of placing each seed individually. But this can lead to too much produce fighting for the same space. Radish, carrots, beets, and turnips all produce better fruit when they're thinned. Thinning is just what it sounds like: pulling out excess seedlings that come up in a row so the produce is more evenly spaced. When spaced correctly, produce is able to grow unblemished and get much larger. If it's not thinned, the shapes will be wonky and, overall, less produce will grow. The process is simple: when you first see the seedling sprout, thin it according to the type of produce. - Radishes should be about 1 inch apart - Beets should be about 4 inches apart If in doubt, look at the back of the seed packet for the recommended distance! It’s a quick chore but it makes a huge difference! #garden #raisedbedgardening #raisedbeds #gardentips #gardenguy
