Kathy Koch replied to Wendy Hime's discussion What seeds are you starting indoors now? in the group Zone 4"I am starting potatoes in a potato bag. I put the bags in plastic buckets for watering and keep them in my breezeway which has grow lights until it is warm enough to place them outside. Just do a search on potato bags and you should come up with…"
Kathy Koch replied to Nancy Dienst's discussion How much rain is too much? in the group Zone 4"We got four inches Friday night and Saturday morning here in northern lower Michigan. The creek is running very high. Our soil is sandy, so it drains well. The apple and pear trees we planted early this spring seem to love the moisture and have…"
Kathy Koch commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 4"I am excited that today is my first pick-up of my CSA share. Anybody in a Community Supported Agriculture farm? I know there are many different kinds and I'm just learning about them. Would love to hear your experiences."
Kathy Koch commented on DR's group Christian Gardeners"I spent the holiday weekend playing in the dirt. And to think one year ago I was on a respirator in ICU fighting for my life.

Kathy Koch replied to Sharon McGarry's discussion Northern Michigan Gardeners in the group Michigan"I found an off-the-beaten-path mom and pop greenhouse yesterday and loaded up on herbs. Put them in the breezeway overnight, and the aroma this morning was heavenly!
I got basil, cilantro(coriander), garlic chives, lemon verbena, oregano,…"
Kathy Koch commented on DR's group Christian Gardeners"I’m so thrilled about my first ever Morels. I invited anyone at work who wanted to observe National Day of Prayer to meet me at the flagpole. Five of us showed up, and when we finished, one of my co-workers pointed out these Morels at the base…"
Kathy Koch commented on DR's group Christian Gardeners"A year ago I had emergency surgery due to a perforated colon and spent three weeks in ICU, five weeks in the hospital and three months recuperating. So I missed the entire planting season. But I am so thankful that "God's not finished with…"
Kathy Koch replied to Sharon McGarry's discussion Northern Michigan Gardeners in the group Michigan"I love sharing plants with others. Last evening I dug up a rhubarb plant and separated it into about six pieces to give away. I also dug up some Lily of the Valley to share and some Star of Bethlehem plants to transplant. Hostas are not even showing…"
Kathy Koch replied to Sharon McGarry's discussion Northern Michigan Gardeners in the group Michigan"Thanks for the information on the Garden Walk in Grand Marais June 26.

Kathy Koch replied to Sharon McGarry's discussion Northern Michigan Gardeners in the group Michigan"I've been cutting chives for two weekends in a row now. My rhubarb is coming along nicely. The peas I planted in a grow box on Good Friday are up an inch now. I thinned my radishes this weekend. We had a great rain yesteday and the sun is…"
Kathy Koch replied to Mary Matney's discussion wandering? in the group Zone 4"I'm wandering if anybody has problems with bears?
Brought our compost bins to the new place (family home on 5.5 ,mostly wooded acres). Several years ago, my mother had a black bear raid her bird feeders, so we put them away for good. Now that…"
Kathy Koch commented on Garden-Share's group Zone 4"After reading lots of articles recommending checking with your local extension office, I called ours and got a rather flippant, sarcastic reply to my question of last frost date. He said, "This is Michigan, you know." Insinuating there is…"
Kathy Koch left a comment for Susan Corriveau"Thanks for contacting me! I just learned about Trilliums only a couple of years ago. I was driving to Charlevoix and wondered what those white flowers were all along the roadsides. I was thrilled to learn they were Trilliums. Wonder if I could grow…"

Susan Corriveau said… - Hi Kathy, I've been looking for other Michigan gardeners. My husband and I have property out in the country between Petoskey and Harbor Springs and usually visit in February, May (for the Trilliums) and October. Plan on moving up permanently in 3-4 years. Now we live in Northern Illinios so I'm used to snow and cold. Just not used to such a short growing season. I need to get better at starting plants indoors. Nice to meet you on this wonderful site.

"New plant ID system is going like gangbusters. Up to 37 index numbers with up to 12 plants with the specific numbers. Getting started is a mess; you have to have the plant info, planted plant, and written tag while you try to write the…"
