So I'm rebooting Tea Jay's #Garden as the "Gateless Garden". I just feel like Tea Jay's Garden doesn't say anything useful and a Gateless Garden implies a place for everyone and an open resource for evidence based Garden info. I'll be fixing up the website http://gatelessgarden.com/ and as I have time I'll be tweaking the older episodes.

My dwarf Nasturtium is having a good day. #garden

Got to spend a couple hours working in the garden this morning, so here is my #sixonsaturday

A collage of #pictures from my 11' x 11' #garden. Three staggered swine panel trellises with multiple cold crops in the beds, and closeups of the #Pea and #Broadbean #flowers.

Just released "Composting!!" A creatively named #podcast episode about #garden #composting mostly an overview of what its all about. https://www.buzzsprout.com/501553/7894990

Holy crap this is a classic. @plants #plant #garden #biology

I'm not a huge fan of excessive plastics in the #garden, but im also not a fan of judging people for what they gotta do. Give your local dollar store a look @plants @plantifa

Following up on my seed starting special i decided to do an overview of stepping up your plant starts after they've gotten their first true leaves. #garden

Just sent off a soil test. Its probably fine, but i havent had one done at this garden yet. The only nutrient I'm slightly worried about is iron because ive had some yellowing between the veins of my beans, but i haven't seen it in anything else so it may just be that spot.

My winter #garden is coming along fine. Well what passes for winter here in Bakersfield anyways.

Tea Jay's #Garden - A bit much about #Nitrogen
A quick dip into the intricate world of the nitrogen cycle, from its humble origins of N2 to its final form as one of #plant kinds most vital nutrients. #podcast

Got what feels like a chest cold. Curling up in front of Gardeners World. Send #garden pr0n! Hot botanical action please.(especially you southern hemisphere types, gimme those summer gsrdens) @plants

#Dahlia root cuttings require special storage in a dry climate like mine, but these stem cuttings are rockin it. No real root development yet, but that swelling is the crown forming. @plants #garden

Need help figuring out how to start prepping those #seed trays for next years #garden, .I've put together a #podcast episode covering quite a bit of it. @plants https://www.buzzsprout.com/501553/6925235

#sixonsaturday #garden @plants

Clockwise from top-center: My youngest child with a pot, Pea plants with an aloe in the background, Growbag full of lettuce, Perennial kale plants growing on, Teensie purple tomato plant, my youngest enjoying a pilfered lettuce leaf.

My youngest daughter just had her first birthday!

A hit piece tried to discredit Monty Don as a "Former Jeweler", now don't get me wrong ALAN TITCHMARSH 4 lyff, but thats a crap take. #horticulture is a second or third career for a large percentage of folx, if thats a means of discrediting experts they can come for most of us. @plants #garden

Pea shoots are a success. #garden @plants

My #Bakersfield #garden in December. @plants

The #Tepary #bean #harvest from my #garden. Small, but we are talking about a 1 square foot-ish patch with no direct watering after establishment in #BAKERSFIELD!

Anybody have questions about selecting, saving, or starting #seeds in preperation for spring? Recording an ep on it this weekend.
