Not just one, but TWO of my birthday presents came in the mail yesterday! My birthday isn’t even until next month, so I am debating if they still count as presents or not. Hmmm…. I have a month to decide. The first is a three way soil meter. This is something I can’t believe I have gone without for so long, and I am really hoping this will step up my garden game. With a better understanding of the PH, moisture, and light level each plant is getting, I am hoping I will have bigger healthier plants. My other gift is a little greenhouse. The hardware stores don’t always have the plants I want, so I have been ordering seeds online and need a proper place to start them. I also needed a place to store my plants that require a little more protection through the winter. Having bees has certainly made me more focused on what I want out of my garden, and I am less patient with my trial and error method. I will give myself two days before that greenhouse is completely full.
