Erin’s Garden in Maryland

Veggies and more grown by a busy mom

Today we ’re off to Baltimore to visit with Erin ! Erin is a busy mother of three but somehow pull off to farm a beautiful garden and share lots of photos of her success ( and sometimes failures ) on her instagram@aterinshouse

A utterly growntomato seedling ! Starting your owntomatoesfrom germ can be guileful , but Erin has understandably mastered it . She gives all the credit to goodgrow lights . raft of twinkle makes for healthy seedlings and happy plants .

The next phase of a tomato : a flower bud about to open .

After the love apple flower fades , the unexampled tomato is just begin to form .

These vainglorious green Lycopersicon esculentum will in brief be turning ripe and delicious .

The tree stump of a clump of cultivated celery is taking on young life ! After Erin placed the stump in a minuscule weewee and gave it heap of sun , it put up new leaves and is growing new ascendent . Has anyone in the GPOD audience tried this ?

A brilliant idea — old exposure binder repurposed to holdseed packets ! This is such a great way to keep seed packets organized .

Dutch irises ( Iris×hollandica , Zones 5–9 ) . These hybrid forms of bulging irises are found in the fall , the same as Narcissus pseudonarcissus or tulips , and they reward you with these gorgeous graceful efflorescence in the spring .

Erin tell that her lovely English roses can be a hatful of work to keep healthy and felicitous but that they are worth it for the beautiful flowers .

All the plant in this photo are carefully label — let in the “ mystery flora ” ! I think every gardener has had a mystery plant when we have forget that we planted something or have fall behind a label . I have sex there are a deal in my garden . It reckon to me like the secret flora might be a marigold ( Tagetesspecies , annual ) , but time will tell for trusted . Taking pictures and labeling them like this is a great way to minimise the number of mystery works in the garden , since these label wo n’t fade or get carried off by squirrels the way physical ticket in the garden will .

And at long last , a handful of health in the form ofkalefresh from the garden .
