Mharaigh Joe O'Reilly a bhean chéile Rachel Callaly i 2004. Ba é cheann de na cásanna is iomráití sa tír. Lig O'Reilly air gur buirgléireacht a bhí ann i dtosach báire agus go raibh sé faoi bhrón as a bhean chéile a chailleadh. Áfach, lena iompar aisteach ina dhiaidh an dúnmharú, tháinig sé faoi amhras na nGardaí agus fuarthas ciontach é as an ionsaí fíochmhar. Ar Seachtain, amharcann Róisín Ní Mhaoláin siar 20 bliain ar chás Rachel Callaly, nó Rachel O'Reilly mar is fearr aithne uirthi, le muid a threorú tríd an méid a tharla do di.

jQuery(document).ready(function(){ cab.clickify(); }); Original Podcast with clickable words https://tinyurl.com/2egwbu6p Contact: irishlingos@gmail.com The Russian attack on Ukraine's infrastructure is a "war crime". "Coir chogaidh" is ea slad na Rúiseach ar bhonneagar na hÚcráine. Taoiseach Micheál Martin said that Russia's latest missile attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure are a war crime. Dúirt an Taoiseach Micheál Martin gur coir chogaidh atá sna hionsaithe diúracán is deireanaí atá an Rúis a dhéanamh ar bhonneagar sibhialta na hÚcráine. At least ten people have been killed and 70% of the population of Ukraine's capital, Kiev, has been left without power as a result of the attacks so far. Maraíodh deichniúr ar a laghad agus fágadh 70 faoin gcéad de phobal phríomhchathair na hÚcráine, Cív, gan aon chumhacht aibhléise de bharr na n-ionsaithe go dtí seo. The Taoiseach was speaking in Paris, where he had a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace. Ag labhairt i bPáras a bhí an Taoiseach, mar a raibh cruinniú aige le hUachtarán na Fraince Emmanuel Macron i bPálás an Élysée. Micheál Martin said that the damage that the Russians are doing in Ukraine is terrible, between the destruction that is being done to the country's essential infrastructure and the terror that is being inflicted on the community. Dúirt Micheál Martin go bhfuil an slad atá na Rúisigh a dhéanamh san Úcráin uafásach, idir an scrios atáthar a dhéanamh ar bhonneagar riachtanach na tíre agus an sceimhle atáthar a chur ar an bpobal. The Taoiseach confirmed again that the Irish Government is determined to help Ukraine de-identify and clear mines that have been planted in the country by the Russians. Dhearbhaigh an Taoiseach arís go bhfuil rún ag Rialtas na hÉireann cuidiú leis an Úcráin mianaigh atá curtha sa tír ag na Rúisigh a dhí- aidhníniú agus a ghlanadh as an áit. He indicated that the Government has already given €55 million to Ukraine and that another €25 million is to be made available shortly. Thug sé le fios go bhfuil €55 millún tugtha ag an Rialtas don Úcráin cheana féin agus go bhfuiltear le €25 milliún eile a chur ar fáil gan mhoill. Regarding a request for arms from a senior official in the Government of Ukraine, the Taoiseach said that the Ukrainians understand that Ireland is neutral as far as this is concerned. Maidir le hiarratas ar airm ó oifigeach sinsearach i Rialtas na hÚcráine, dúirt an Taoiseach go dtuigeann na hÚcránaigh go bhfuil Éire neodrach chomh fada agus a bhaineann sé lena leithéid. In any case, he said, and to be honest, we don't have many weapons. Ar aon chuma, ar sé, agus leis an bhfírinne a dhéanamh, níl mórán arm againn.

Coconut coir is growing in popularity as a seed starting and growing medium, especially, as a replacement for peat moss. But using coir for this purpose has its challenges. To shed light on the history of coir in horticulture and how its naturally high salt content can be overcome for seed starting and seedling growth, my guest this week is international agricultural consultant Dr. Hugh Allen Poole.

It's getting to be indoor seed starting seed time. It's nice starting your own vegetables and flowers indoors from seed. You can grow many more plants for less cost and get to choose from a wider range of varieties. Even if you're not an indoor seed starter, at some point you're probably going to be buying potting soil. That's where soil mixes can become confusing. There are seed starting or germinating mixes, transplant mixes, potting mixes, mixes with fertilizer, organic mixes, mixes for specialty plants.... it can be mind boggling. Let me try to help. When starting seedlings indoors, get a seed starting mix. This is the usual peat-based mix, but it’s been more finely milled so the small seeds can germinate better. When transplanting seedlings into larger pots indoors, use an organic transplanting mix. This has more bulk in the mix and some compost, which helps keep the plant growing strong. For container plants in summer, a good potting mix should be fine. If the plants are perennial, buy a product with compost, or even some bark, in the mix. That will help reduce potting soil compaction over time. Peat moss is often the key ingredient in many mixes. There is concern about peat moss because the peat is mined, destroying the bogs. While bogs can be restored, it can take years to bring them back. An alternative is coir. Coir is a bi-product of the coconut industry. It's made from milled, coconut husks and is often found in many soil mixes. It absorbs and drains water better than peat moss and is a recycled product.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Trouver l'autre mystérieuxL'amour est un mystère pour ceux qui le vivent, un mystère pour ceux qui le regardent. Nous constatons, mais nous ne comprenons pas. Pourquoi ? Parce que ce qui nous lie à l'autre est inexplicable. Aimer vraiment, c'est aller vers quelqu'un, non pas seulement pour son image (sa beauté, sa ressemblance avec tel ou tel), ni pour ce qu'il symbolise (un père, une mère, le pouvoir, l'argent), mais pour son secret. Ce secret que nous ne savons pas nommer, et qui va rencontrer le nôtre : un manque ressenti depuis l'enfance, une souffrance singulière, indéfinissable. « L'amour s'adresse à notre part d'inconnu, explique le psychanalyste Patrick Lambouley.☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆https://linktr.ee/jacksonlibon---------------------------------------------------#facebook #instagram #amour #couple #couplegoals #famille #relation #doudou #youtube #twitter #tiktok #love #reeĺs #shorts #instagood #follow #like #ouy #oyu #babyshark #lilnasx #girl #happybirthday #movie #olive #garden #menu #deviance #autotrader #trading #khan #academy #carter #carguru #ancestry #accords #abc #news #bts #cbs #huru bluebook #socialmedia #whatsapp #music #google #photography #memes #marketing #india #followforfollowback #likeforlikes #a #insta #fashion #k #trending #digitalmarketing #covid #o #snapchat #socialmediamarketing #bhfyp

On this episode we're chatting with Jeff from Mad Hatter Organics. Jeff is a canadian home grower who has a cool method of mixing organic amendments with coco coir in AutoPots for an easy, hands off, water only organic grow. I like Jeff a lot. He's a no-nonsense guy who has a genuine passion for growing. There are many different ways to grow organically and, with all the positive feedback I usually get after an episode regarding growing organically, I think it's beneficial to have multiple growers share their different methods, and this is one of them.

Hi! I am Ramni from the International Institute of Digital Marketing. This video is about helping coir businesses move digital. Firstly, let us see what Coir is about. Coir is a natural substance that is made from the fibrous husk of the coconut. It is used in many forms such as coco bale, coco chips, jiffy, and other eco-friendly products. These are widely used in gardening and horticultural fields But we all know Covid 19 has hit many industries including Coir. Coir business usually includes large manpower and a large-scale industrial machine for mass production. But personally, I asked many people about their knowledge of coir, but many are unaware of it.. If we want to know more about coir products, we all have to visit the production plant. But due to the safe distance measures, it is not agreeable at present. So it clearly states that the products have not reached customers yet. So this is the right time to move online. The digital world is our new normal. Using simple methods we can start our own online business. Firstly, we can choose a suitable social media platform to create our business profile. They include Instagram, Facebook, twitter, and many more. Alternatively, we can also create a website with your company brand name. They include Wix, square space, and many more. Secondly, we can create and post content on our own research or can also refer to other company profiles for ideas, We can use Canva as a designing tool using graphics, images, and videos. Thirdly, we can post Ads on our social media platform. Some ads are cheaper too. Because the Ad can easily grab people's attention. Also, we can use hashtags that are appropriate for our company's profile and products. Hashtags like #coirpith #gardening #horticulture #instagood #companyname #facebook Finally, everyone can easily learn and develop their digital skills at their own pace and time. IIDM is the perfect place to get in. For more details visit: https://thedigitalmarketinginstitute.org/ Thank you.

With over 22 years in the growing business, Logan McLean of Cool Springs Nursery joins Greg on the Row By Row Show tonight to discuss and break down the different types of seed starting mix (potting soil). Garden Update August is Greg's least favorite month in the garden. With it being so hot in south Georgia, he is using this time to prepare for his fall garden with his silage tarps. Tarping, bed prep for the fall sweet corn crop. His first crop of cabbage and broccoli started in the greenhouse. Greg recommends starting varieties in the Brassica family (Broccoli) inside, if you plant start them in the greenhouse and have temperatures that reach in the 100s, you could have problems; he also states that there is still time to plant cover crops and flowers! Potting Soil Ingredients Most of the consumer mixes that you buy in the big box store are mostly made up of Peat, which is a very common ingredient in potting soil. There are different grades of peat; the best peat to use is peat that comes from Canada, they have the superior product. Peat with a good water holding capacity is the best. Perlite is a volcanic glass that is heated at 1,600 degrees Fahrenheit. Whereupon it pops much like popcorn and expands 13 times its former size, resulting in an incredibly lightweight material. More porous than vermiculite. It is considered non-organic. It does drain well, and there are different grades. A lot of commercial growers use perlite to put on top of the seeds/seedlings to retain moisture. Vermiculite is a hydrous phyllosilicate mineral that undergoes significant expansion when heated. Increases water, nutrient retention, and aerates the soil; it is heated just like Perlite. The finer the grade of vermiculite, the lower the quality - which is normally what consumers receive. The commercial line isn't as fine as what the consumer would get. This mineral has major water holding capabilities. The nutrients in Vermiculite are not as good as what is in peat; vermiculite is used for aeration in your soil. DIY Seed Starting Mix 2/4 peat 1/4 perlite 1/4 vermiculite A good mix should be dense enough to hold the plant, allow for air exchange and water flow while retaining moisture, be free of pathogens and weed seed, and meet the need of specific crops and growing environments. Container Mixes One of the most used ingredients in commercial mixes is pine bark because it is economical. Pine bark needs to be aged to work well; most "container" gardeners use this mix for tomatoes but will work with almost any vegetable or fruit grown in a container. Coir is another important ingredient, it is considered coconut fiber. A natural fiber extracted from the outer husk of coconut with a very similar water holding capacity as peat. Logan describes their companies propagation mix as using mainly sand and pine bark. Some of the varieties they propagate will have some perlite but not much. Having a mix with a good amount of pine bark and sand will help hold in moisture extremely well. Sand is used to increasing density and drainage, it is used as a filler. Logan's container mix is made up of 80% pine bark, 10% sand, and 10% peat. We do add a small amount of 3-4 month fertilizer (8 lbs per yard) which gives it a kick-start. You normally want to keep your PH level around 5-6%. Compost Compost adds nutrient value and micros while holding water and nutrients well, has a high cation exchange value. Most mixes are 2 parts peat, 1 part perlite, and 1 part vermiculite.

After noticing public information on coco cultivation to be misleading and incorrect, Dr. M.J. Coco authored the book 'Coco for Cannabis'.

John from the United Kingdom joins me for an amazing conversation about cannabis culture in the UK with a little bit of grow advice sprinkled in. I love hearing stories from other countries to see how their culture and history with cannabis matches up and differs from our history and current view on cannabis in the US. John has seen it all in his time with the plant, and shares some stories around that. We then dig into the grow advice which covers a transition from synthetic to organic growing and how to troubleshoot deficiency problems during that transition. We also cover things new growers should avoid in the garden, planning for success, and more helpful gardening advice!

Welcome to Spring 2018! Believe it or not considering it was snowing on the first day of Spring. It is only a matter of time before we can get into the yard and get into the garden. Before you can do that, you need to plant seeds and grow some seedlings! In this post and episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, I am going to discuss setting up an indoor gardening area and starting seeds indoors for spring gardens. Have you planted seeds yet? I did on St. Patrick’s Day, and I have some great news to share with you about that! Introduction – How to Start Seeds Indoors for Spring Gardens If you have been following along over the past few weeks, we have been going through the general process for preparing for the 2018 Gardening Season. We have done the following steps so far: Developed a garden plan – Developed a list of plants we want to grow) Ordered your seeds – Selected a reputable seed vendor and purchased seeds for our garden. While there are many seed vendors out there, I focused on four big vendors that members of the Small Scale Life Facebook Group and MN-WI Regenerative Agriculture Group use most often. Finally! It is the moment of truth! It is time to stop thinking and start doing! I grabbed my seeds and some soil and got ready to get down to business…. Not so fast! Before I could start planting seeds, I had to some additional planning and prep work. Setting up the Indoor Growing Area Part of my planning and preparation work was to select an area in the house to grow seedlings. In our previous house in St. Louis Park, I grew seedlings on two shelves in a cold and dark basement. I discussed how I started seeds and some lessons learned after have some failures over the past few years in the following articles (on smallscalelife.com): How to Garden Indoores 8 Steps to Starting Plants Indoors Lessons Learned from Growing Indoors Four Lessons Learned from Starting Seeds For the 2018 Gardening Season, I had to find a new space to plant seeds and grow seedlings. While I knew I would be regulated to the basement, it was a much different situation in this house in Minneapolis. The basement is not as warm as the upper level, but it isn’t as brutally cold and dark as the St. Louis Park house. I attribute that to the fact that half of the basement is insulated and finished, and that does help retain the heat! Having more heat retained in the basement should help with germination, and I am hoping that having a warmer basement reduces the potential for damping off disease! I had to select my indoor growing area, and it really came down to three choices: the built-in near the television, the bar area or the workbench near the furnace. I would not be able to use a shelf in this house simply because we have gear and things on all of our shelves. We just do not have the extra shelf space! The biggest concern I had as I was evaluating each location was the availability of power (for grow lights, heating pads and a timer) and the impact on other basement users (like my son and wife Julie). Each spot had power, so really it came down to finding a spot that would be out of the way and not bother anyone. The best spot was the workbench near the furnace. While losing the workbench for potential projects is not ideal, it is important to remember that I would only need part of the workbench until mid-May. What could possibly go wrong? Besides, if we needed to use the workbench, everything can be moved quickly. Of course, that might mean that the trays go on top of the freezer, but I would only use it temporarily (I promise, Jules). The workbench is 27 inches wide, and that easily beats the narrow 18-1/2 inches on the St. Louis Park shelves. In case you are wondering: yes, in this case, size does matter! The extra width easily accommodates both seed trays in a side-by-side configuration on the workbench. On the shelves, I had to use scrap pieces of plywood to get over the lip of the shelf to get the trays to sit side-by-side. This is much, much better! Equipment Needed Part of getting your equipment might include buying soil and seeds - March 2018 With seeds in my hand and a growing area selected, it was time to get my “equipment” out of storage in order to start seeds indoors. My equipment consistec of the following: Seed trays 9x9 plug flats (or cells, as I like to call them) 5 gallon bucket or kitty litter bin (to hold the soil) Pro-Mix soil Heating pads Grow lights Timer Surge Protector Jumbo popsicle sticks or other labels for your seeds Most of these materials had been in storage for the winter. I had to rummage around the garage to find what I needed, and then I realized that I had thrown away my 9x9 plug flats last season! I had used these plug flats for a three seasons, and they were showing some age, wear and literal tears. I wanted to get new plug flats, so I got rid of them. I went to the big box store and found that they did not have the 9x9 plug flats anymore. I decided to pick up two McKenzie Pro-Hex Plug Flats instead. They were relatively inexpensive: $5 per kit included a plug flat (72 plugs, tray and acrylic dome). I would later throw away both of the domes (I feel they encourage damping off disease). On the same trip, I also picked up the Pro-Mix soil. While I did pick up a package of Coir for the 2018 Soil Challenge, I wanted to have a more controlled experiment using smaller plug flats. I also wanted the 2018 Soil Challenge to focus on the best soil for growing greens. More on my thoughts and how I am going to conduct the 2018 Soil Challenge in a separate post! Armed with all of this gear and the seeds, NOW it was time to plant! Start Seeds Indoors: Time to Plant! Plug trays are loaded! St. Patrick's Day 2018 As I discussed in my Garden Plan, I want to plant at four distinct times this year. I called these times “Stages.” The first stage is early spring, right when the soil is starting to warm up. There are plants that do well in those conditions, and I want to have a crop ready to put in the beds to take advantage of the season. Plants that do well in the Early Spring Stage (when there are some cold nights) are: lettuce, spinach, Swiss Chard and green onions. I added one more to my Early Season Stage: broccoli. Most of these plants are quick-growing, and I decided to hold off from planting them on St. Patrick’s Day because I wanted to get the Late Spring Stage plants started. The Late Spring Stage plants are the vegetables and herbs that will be in the ground in mid-May and grow until late August. These are the tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, green beans, zucchini, squash and herbs that are listed on my plan. Because some of these plants take 80 days or more to for fruit to be ready, I wanted to get them started as soon as possible. For other plants such as zucchini, squash, potatoes, green beans and cucumbers on the list, I will sow them directly into the beds or planters in May. The real critical ones are the tomatoes, peppers and herbs, so that is where I wanted to begin. On a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day, I poured a drink, put on some music and started planting seeds in my new plug flats. I had so much fun getting my hands in the dirt and planting over 144 vegetables and herbs on my potting table outside! It was fantastic! All in all, I planted the following: Cherry Tomatoes (2 rows) – planted with seed I saved San Marzano Tomatoes (3 rows) Opalka Roma Tomatoes (2 rows) Jalapenos (2 rows) – planted with seed I saved Red Bell Pepper (2 rows) – planted with seed I saved Pepperoncini (1 row) Banana Peppers (2 rows) Sweet Bell Peppers (1 row) Yellow Bell Peppers (2 rows) – planted with seed I saved Orange Bell Peppers (2 rows) – planted with seed I saved Dill (1 row) – seed I saved Basil (1 row) Oregano (1 row) Rosemary (1 row) Broccoli (1 row) I made sure to label the rows with jumbo popsicle sticks. With three different varieties of tomatoes and seven different varieties of peppers planted, I did not want to make a mistake this year! Finally, I brought the trays inside, put them on the heating pads and added water to the trays. I figured I had 7 days before I had to hook up the grow lights, so I started working on a system to support the lights when needed. Again, it does not need to be expensive, sophisticated or fancy; it just needs to work! I have something almost ready for prime time, but I figured I wouldn’t need the lights for a few more days, right? Putting It All Together It is time to get planting those seeds for your 2018 garden! You don’t have to have the most sophisticated equipment or a greenhouse start seeds indoors. If you are overwhelmed with this whole process, you can buy plants from the big box store, from a greenhouse, or from a friend, but it isn’t that hard if you break it down into the following steps: Developed a garden plan Purchase Seeds from a Reputable Vendor Purchase Some Equipment (i.e., soil, grow lights, timer, heating pads and trays) Put the soil in the tray and put the seeds in the soil Label everything Add water to the tray Put the trays under the grow lights and on the heating pads Wait! Now, you see Number 8 above? Tom Petty was correct when he sang, “The waiting is the hardest part.” However, if you do all of these steps right, you DO NOT have to wait long…. I went downstairs after dinner and looked at the seedlings. I was shocked: After 4 days, I have seedlings! Tomatoes, basil and broccoli have punched through the soil. I guess there is something to this starting seeds indoor thing! This is great! Of course, I need to finish the light system as soon as possible (which is now complete and operational), but I am very excited for this season. It should be a great year!
We have hit mid-February! It is time to get planting seeds for our 2018 garden! As many of you know, I have been starting seeds in my basement for a few years now. I learn something new each year, and last year was no different. Like everything in life, you learn the most from your failures, and I had a couple last year. I am not afraid to admit it! In this episode of the Small Scale Life Podcast, I am going to discuss Four Lessons Learned from Starting Seeds in my basement last year. Happy Valentine's Day! Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! I hope you had a great day yesterday and had some fun. Julie and I went to a winery in Waconia, Minnesota, for some wine and jazz with our good friends. It was a lot of fun to catch up and enjoy some really good wine and food! We even made some new friends who just purchased 20 acres north of the winery and are making a really cool place out of the wetlands and woods on their land. I am taking Tommy Cakes’ advice from last week’s Midweek Motivation: enjoy local events and make real, authentic memories with friends, family and your community. Update: Developing Your 2018 Garden Plan In the last show, I discussed Developing a 2018 Garden Plan. Your garden plan will serve as your foundation for gardening success this year. I did get some feedback from folks about that show, and I wanted to add two points for narrowing down your “Pie in the Sky Plan” to a feasible, realistic plan: Climate - Consider your climate and what grows there. If you live in Minnesota like me, you do not want oranges, avocados and lemons in your plan if you don’t have special climate controlled facilities to grow them. Actual Layout - To help with planning your garden, it might help to actually plan out where everything will go using a piece of graph paper, wipe board or computer. The key is to get realistic sizes for plants and your garden (to scale). I will have another post on how to do that in the near future. Those are great suggestions, and I have added them to the show notes from the last episode. 4 Lessons Learned from Seed Starting I have been starting plants from seed in my basement for a few years now. I learn something new each year, and last year was no different. Like everything in life, you learn the most from your failures, and I had a couple last year. I am not afraid to admit it! Let's discuss four lessons learned from starting seeds in 2017. Why start seeds yourself? I started planting my own seeds in 2014 or so. Back then, I was buying plants from big box home improvements stores, but I found that I was getting frustrated with the following: Quality – Plants at the local big box home improvement stores were just not healthy. Some were wilting or had blight, others were terribly stunted and looked “bad.” I usually could nurse them back to health but it always took some work to get them growing in the right direction. Selection – Big box home improvement stores just did not seem to offer a wide enough selection of plants. Some had a couple of varieties of tomatoes, but I didn’t want to grow that particular type of cherry tomato, big beefsteak tomato or “summer salsa” tomato. I wanted something a little different. I found the same applied to peppers as well. When I started growing my own, I had control and picked the type of plant I wanted to grow. Cost – The final reason I started growing my own plants from seed was that the cost was simply too high. Typically, you are paying at least a dollar for each inch of height of seedling, and some of the more mature plants can be six to ten dollars a piece. If you have a big garden bed or several beds, gardening gets very expensive very quickly! I had a 12-foot long bed with 16 tomato plants in it, the cost for these 3-inch tall plants could be $48 (plus tax)! I decided to start growing my own seeds, and I found that the materials to start growing were fairly inexpensive. I had articles and a podcast about that last year in the following articles: How to Garden Indoors 8 Steps to Starting Seeds Indoors 9 Lessons Learned from Starting Seeds Indoors - Season 2, Episode 6 4 Lessons Learned from Seed Starting That said, I am going to need to set up a new growing area since moving to this new house. Regardless, I need to keep the following four lessons learned from last year in mind as I begin growing plants this year. 1. Label, label, label Make sure to label everything as you plant seeds and later transplant your seedlings. One of the problems I ran into last year was how I labeled seedlings when I started growing them. I was trying to be clever with the Potting Soil Challenge by using masking tape on the seed trays. It worked great initially when I had the grow lights a few inches above the soil, but as time went by and the seedlings grew, I needed to put some kind of marker/label in the seedling cell. Over the course of growing, I move cells around to check the plants, take off the first leaves and eventually transplant them. If I take out several of the cells, the cells get mixed up, and I lose track of what is what. Labels are cheap, so take the time to buy some popsickle sticks or plastic sticks to label each plant. If you don’t label plants, you garden will be like Forrest Gump’s box of chocolates: “You’ll never know what you’re gonna get!” 2. Keep a Journal Life is busy, and as much as we like to THINK we are going to remember details about our growing season, things and life happens. We actually forget what happened! Keeping a simple journal will help you remember: What worked What didn’t work How you tried to fix problems and/or counteract plants and blight One thing that I have tried to track is germination rates and growth for different types of seed in the different types of soil (part of the 2017 Potting Soil Challenge). While my intentions were good, I fell behind last year and eventually abandoned the log. This was unfortunate because I could not draw solid conclusions from the 2017 Potting Soil Challenge. I will do a better job this year as part of the 2018 Potting Soil Challenge! 3. Transplant Seedlings Earlier I traditionally have planted and transplanted seedlings according to the following timeline: Late February – Plant seeds in cells and seed trays Mid-Late April – Transplant seedlings into cups Late May – Transplants seedlings into garden beds I want to change this timeline this year. While it has worked out “ok” in the past few years, I find that the seedlings’ roots become tangled messes by mid to late April. While the seedlings usually survive the transplanting process, I want to see if the seedlings will be healthier and stronger if I transplant them earlier. The last frost date in Zone 4B is typically around May 10th, and that date defines when I transplant plants into the garden without fear of a killer frost. I cannot change that date (it is due to climate), but I can change when I start planting seeds in the garden beds. Because I live in Minnesota, I need to push to get every day that I can for plant growth. By delaying to late May or early June, I have lost valuable time and produce from my plants. Getting these plants in the ground might result in a late harvest from some of these plants! 4. Using Coir…Effectively I used Burpee’s Coir product for the first time last year in the classrooms and with my own seedlings. I had never used it before, and for those of you who have never used it, coir is made from recycled coconut fibers. It comes in a small brick. Once you add water to it, the material is ready for your seeds. It is important to know that coir holds up to 150% of its weight in water and, most importantly, retains that water. For me, I was used to my traditional methods of growing seedlings: add soil to the seed tray cells or cup, plant the seeds, and water from the bottom. It never occurred to me that coir was already a saturated medium and would not wick up more water. In fact, it would start to rot in the cup (anaerobically) if it got too much water! I realized this because the coir soil began to smell horribly. Some of the seedlings growth slowed, and some seedlings died because of root rot. I used coir exclusively with my school outreach in 2017. The two classes that I worked with last year did not have this problem. In fact, their plants thrived and did quite well because they watered the plants from the top where I was watering from the bottom. I am going to try growing more seeds with coir this year and track my results as part of the 2018 Potting Soil Challenge. Putting It All Together I have found that planting seeds improves the quality of your plants, provide better selection of plants and is cost effective (especially if you have larger gardens). Over the years, I have learned a lot of lessons. Last year, I learned the following: Label everything Keep a journal Transplant seedlings and plants earlier Use coir more effectively Even if you don’t start your plant from seed this year, you can implement some of these lessons in your own homestead, garden and flower beds.
It has been an incredible two weeks. Julie and I moved all of our gear out of a storage locker and into this little house in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I am glad to be back on track with a Tuesday Gardening Show, and I think I have a good show for you today. After a couple weeks of short posts and podcasts, including the introduction of a new regular show called Midweek Motivation by the Coastal Cosmopolitan Tommy Cakes, we are gearing up for Garden Season 2018! In this post and podcast episode, I am going to discuss How to Develop A 2018 Garden Plan: what I am going to grow and how I am going to grow it. I am making some adjustments to my planting strategy based on conversations with Michael Bell, Scott Hebert, Doneil Freeman, Drew Sample, Greg Burns and other market farmers. While I am not going to grow commercially, I am going to adopt some of their concepts and principles to make my garden very productive in 2018. That is the plan, anyway! In case you are new to our podcast, blog and social media platforms, Small Scale Life is all about removing stress from our lives by living simply through: Gardening, Healthy living, and Having adventures along the way We are thrilled you are here and listening to our show or reading our blog. That means a lot to us, and frankly we wouldn’t do this if you weren’t part of our Small Scale Life. Before we begin this episode, let’s hear from some friends of Small Scale Life!

Remember: if you have a product or a service that you would like to be discussed on Small Scale Life, contact me at realsmallscalelife at gmail dot com or use the “Contact Us” page on smallscalelife.com. News Before we begin, I want to go through some news items. First off, I am working on things behind the scenes to improve the Small Scale Life experience. It feels like we are getting momentum and starting to focus in on the message and direction of the blog and podcast. As part of that, we are going to start digging into Wicking Beds and launching Wicking Bed Nation, so stay tuned for that. Next, I get excited when I can connect groups of people. A great example of this was connecting Michael Bell with Michael Hingston from Aussie Flame Weeders, and I think these connections are happening in our Small Scale Life Community (on the blog, Facebook, and Instagram). To help connect people through Small Scale Life, a number of us are running or starting small businesses, and it is great to connect with folks and get your name out there. To help with that, I am working on developing a business directory on smallscalelife.com. We want to connect people. We want to connect our audience to your quality businesses and products. If you want to be included in our business directory, let me know. If you want to be included, contact us at realsmallscalelife at gmail dot com or use the “Contact Us” page on smallscalelife.com. Finally, I do have some exciting news! A company that makes the Coir product for Burpee heard my Potting Soil Challenge Podcast from last year, and they have reached out to me. This company would like to donate some Coir product for the school outreach I do each spring. I tried Coir bricks for the first time last year in the classroom, and the kids loved watching this brick of material turn into a growing medium. I really appreciate their interest, and I am really excited to work with this company and report on this in the future. Wow…that was a lot, but it good stuff to talk about with you. Enough of all that; let’s get back to the show! Introduction The Super Bowl is over, and we are almost to the middle of February. For gardeners, homesteaders and farmers in the northland, people are in high-gear planning and plotting for this year’s Growing Campaign. I know folks down in Texas, other southern states and our friends on the other side of the world in Australia and New Zealand are already in high gear, and I always need to keep that in mind! I am no exception. I have been planning what plants I want to grow this year and how I am going to fit everything in these limited gardens! For those of you who are new to the show, I moved last June to a relatively small urban lot in Minneapolis, Minnesota. At this new house, I inherited two four-foot by six-foot square foot gardens. These raised beds do need some love and attention because the wood is rotting, and I have a plan to replace them with Wicking Beds in the near future. Developing a Garden Plan Planning what vegetables and plants you grow feeds right into your overall gardening strategy and seed purchase. It is almost time to get those seeds ordered and started! If you are here, you fit into one of three categories: New gardeners who have never grown anything before. Somewhat experienced gardeners and really didn’t get the results we were hoping for. Seasoned veterans who have had literally tasted the success of gardening. No matter where you fall in the Gardening Spectrum, we all start at the same place at the beginning of the season: The Garden Plan. The Garden Plan is the foundation for your season’s success. It helps guide you through the seed catalogs, websites, seed kiosks and tables of live plants at the local greenhouse or big box store. Your Garden Plan is all about you. What do you want to grow? Where do you want to start? This can be overwhelming, and I have acted like a therapist talking with people who are overwhelmed by choices and options or talked with people who want to plant it all. The fact is: we can’t plant it all. We can’t grow it all. After all, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, there are 25,000 tomato varieties. Other sources say 10-15,000 varieties being actively cultivated worldwide. That is a lot of tomatoes! We can’t grow it all, so you might be asking, where do you start? Grow What You Eat When you start your 2018 Garden Plan, you really need to think about what you and your family will eat. It doesn’t make sense to grow a ton of tomatoes, eggplant or squash if no one in your family likes to eat them! Focus on what you eat and grow those things. For example: If you like salsa, you should look to grow tomatoes, peppers, onions, and cilantro. If you like dill pickles, you should look at growing cucumbers, dill, onions and maybe some jalapeno peppers (to spice it up a bit). If you like pesto, you should grow basil and maybe some parsley. Think about what goes into your favorite dishes and recipes. Grow the things that you use often or can preserve for that long march in the winter between December and April. If you have trouble thinking about vegetables and herbs you use, take a notebook and keep a food log for a couple weeks. Write down the key vegetables and herbs you use on a daily basis. That can be a starting point for not only your Garden Plan but also your plan to prepare for tough times (some folks call it prepping or modern day survival). Write Out Your Garden Plan Once you have thought about those dishes, recipes and preserved foods, you can start to write down a list of vegetables and herbs that you want to grow this year. Start big; write them all down. I am serious: write all those vegetables and herbs down on a piece of paper. We will start with a “Pie in the Sky” Garden Plan and then start to hone it down to a manageable, realistic plan. How do you do that? Look at your available space in your growing area. Remember: your space in the garden might be very limited. Some of these plants can get pretty large (i.e., squash, zucchini, pumpkins and tomato varieties). You will need to balance your “Pie in the Sky List” with spatial realities (i.e., you want to grow pumpkins but are limited to a north-facing condominium balcony). I cannot emphasize this enough: do not waste your time and very valuable space for growing things that you and your family don’t like or won’t eat. Grow what you eat; otherwise, you will be making compost out of plants, herbs and vegetables that you do not eat. If you are tight on space or want to experiment with new vegetables and herbs, I recommend buying those items at the local Farmer’s Market, buying from a local farmer or finding a local gardener or friend who will trade with you. If you like those items, maybe you will expand your garden or work those items into your plan next year. If you have an opportunity to expand your growing area and grow more, there are a lot of options. We will discuss that in future posts and podcasts as well. My 2018 Garden Plan I started planning my garden in late January 2018. I sat down with my secret Small Scale Life Notebook (it has nuclear codes in it, trust me) and started roughing out my “Pie in the Sky” Garden Plan. As I wrote everything out, I started to think about how the gardening season has gone for me over the past few years. I plant everything in one shot in mid to late May, and certain plants just don’t fare well in the hot days in late June and July. Some plants, like spinach, lettuce, sugar snap peas and other greens, actually prefer cooler weather. I decided to develop a two stage approach to my Spring Garden Plan. As you can see in the image, I am going to plant greens, green onions and sugar snap peas in the early spring (i.e., April). These plants tend to grow quickly, and I can get a harvest before the Late Spring Stage kicks off. In the Late Spring Stage, I am going to plant the bulk of the other vegetables and herbs after the first frost date (May 10 in Zone 4B – Twin Cities). I will intercrop the Late Spring Stage Plants with the Early Spring Stage Plants. That means I will plant tomato starts next to sugar snap peas, and I will use companion guides to intercrop the peppers, onions, and greens. The other thing you might notice is that I don’t have enough room for all of the Late Spring Stage Plants. I have two four by six foot raised garden beds, and while they can handle a lot of plants, I am going to need more capacity. It is time to show you my plans for constructing and operating wicking beds. It is time to launch Wicking Bed Nation! Putting It All Together Newbie or experienced gardener, we all start at the same place in the Long March of Winter. Before you get overwhelmed with the seed catalogs, websites, seed stands or plants available at the local greenhouse or big box store, do some planning! Develop that basic foundation that will set you up for success this year by following these steps: Develop your Pie in the Sky List Narrow the Pie in the Sky List down by visualizing your available growing space and what you and your family actually will eat If you want to experiment with new vegetables and herbs, plan to purchase them at the store, farmers market, local gardener or trade with someone If you can expand your growing area, go for it! We will discuss some ideas that you might want to try this year! Your Turn I am curious about your 2018 Garden Plan. How do you plan your garden? Have you completed this process yet? Have you purchased your seeds yet? Put your thoughts and experiences in the comments section of this post on smallscalelife.com or join the Small Scale Life Facebook Group and share your experiences there. What’s Next? In our next Gardening Podcast, I will be walking us through some seed catalogs and purchasing seed. It is time to move ahead with my 2018 Garden Plan and take it to the next level. I will also start discussing my Wicking Bed plans, so stay tuned for that. In addition, we are lining up some more guests for the podcast. I am going to talk about Minimalism with my wife Julie, Homesteading with Greg Burns and the Urban Farming on the February Bellcast with Michael Bell. Stay tuned, I feel that we are off to a strong start to the year and really starting to get some great momentum! Thank you again for listening to the Small Scale Life Podcast and visiting smallscalelife.com. We appreciate you and your time. Our wish for you is that you remove some of that stress in your life and live simply this week. This is Tom from Small Scale Life, and we’ll see you next time! Take care, everyone!
