Daily Potager

Reminder- don’t forget to remove young tree stakes and wires when the get strong and stable. Try to move them around every year and use a string that’s stretchy to tie the tree. I see this type of wound everyday and have even see the tree try to heal around the tie. Slide two shows my go to string for training the shape of your tree.

Let’s get growing! 🥬🍓🥦🍎

We love reading reviews and feedback from clients! 🤗 At Daily Potager, we are committed to not only give you a beautiful garden space, but to equip you with the knowledge and skills to become a successful gardener. We love to help you grow!

Let’s chat about trees! 🍃 People tend to be sort of surprised when we mention that we prune trees and recommend planting them in and around the garden. We’re not just pretty container gardens and raised beds over here. 💁🏼‍♀️

🍎 Fruit trees are fantastic pollinator plants and can add beautiful blooms to your space. Did we mention how much fruit they can produce?! This makes fruit trees a favorite thing when it comes to building a strong garden.

🔎 During an assessment, we discuss the overall health of your tree, air flow through the branches, any signs of disease, and how we can increase the fruit production and soil health.

Do you have any fruit trees on your property? Did we convince you to put one in this fall?! 😏

If you want to grow your own garlic, now is the time to plant! Remember 6 inches apart, 2 inches deep, and pointy side up. 👆🏼 A little homeschool group was having so much fun peeling garlic cloves, that they planted close to 100 in their own raised bed. 😅 Garlic does great over winter and will be ready to harvest next summer!

So as promised here is what I found in my garden yesterday! In all my years of gardening, I have never seen this action in person! My garden has been a little ignored recently and I knew I had to duck out and grab all the tomatoes that were shiny red looking at me everyday. The GOOD news with this, is that a little tomato hornworm had a chance to hang out for a bit and eat some foliage. Had I seen him during my daily checkups I probably would have pulled him off and moved on with business, but because I wasn’t out there tending to my garden, nature had a chance to TAKE over and control the problem for me! A female braconid wasp had a chance to deposit her eggs INSIDE the host insect. The larvae had a chance to pupate through the host and kill the hornworm as they emerge into cocoons. These larval parasitoids eventually kill their hosts, depending on the type. There are braconids that kill beetles, flies, and of course moths and caterpillars. 🐛 If you garden with me, you know I’m a huge fan of IPM (Integrated Pest Management). I love creating a ecosystem that works together and encourage patience and observation whenever possible. 🐛 If you would to like to attract this little machine to your garden, be sure to plant lots of flowers and herbs with small florets like alyssum, chamomile, and basil. 🐛 Anyone else use IPM to control pests in your garden? 👇🏻
