It’s been 3 weeks since I first planted in my new Gardzen grow bags. Here are the results!
These were the strawberry bare-root plants I put in Gardzen grow bags on June 9. You can read all about it on this post.
Here are the same strawberries on July 1! (I added a random herb plant in there a few days ago because I had no room left in my herb garden. I can’t even remember what it was!)
Impressive growth, right? There are already plenty of blossoms on the plants. A few didn’t make it, but that’s to be expected with bareroots. I am rooting some runners from my other plants, so I’ll tuck them in to replace the duds.
In another Gardzen grow bag, I’d planted some cucamelon seeds, also on June 9. They never took. Last week I planted seeds for Armenian cucumbers. As of yesterday, they have all sprouted!
My mom visited me for a week and bought me some citronella plants for the deck. She planted them in Gardzen grow bags so that I can easily move them around as needed. I can also take these into the garage or dining room for overwintering. The plants have plenty of room to grow in the Gardzen bags. I love them. Thanks, mom!
She also bought me those cute hanging planters (we found the set at a consignment shop for $9, brand new) and planted sweet potato vines in them. She’s a dear.
Before my mom left for home, I divided some of my herbs — parsley, rosemary, and basil — and sent some Gardzen grow bags with her so she could enjoy them, too. Hopefully she’ll think of how much I love her every time she looks at her little Gardzen herb garden.
These grow bags are quite sturdy, and the handles make them ultra portable. I love that I can plant something and move it as needed for better light. Consider planting flowers that can attract pollinators, then move them nearer your garden. You could also plant “trap plants” to distract pests so they won’t decimate your garden, then move the traps to alternate spots away from your good plants. If you have a small space, grow bags are the perfect option. You can use them on your deck or patio to grow your own salad, tomatoes, and more. Gardzen gives you options!
Gardzen has so many great items for your home and garden. The prices are very affordable, and I love that they offer free shipping with a low $12 purchase.
