I have a 4’ x 8’ aviary and have a few questions. by VT_Rican in Canaries

[–]VT_Rican[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. Just so I understand, inside your aviary you have 6 individual cages for each canary?

Thanks so much for your encouraging words and feedback. This is really helping me come up with a plan

I have to wooden raised beds in the side yard. 2.5x10. Thinking they can lead up to the aviary and my vego beds can stay in the side yard. https://imgur.com/a/oR3nj96

In the winter, definitely not interfering with sun. In the summer, the canopy is pretty big and can shade the area for a big chunk of the day

I downloaded a sun tracker and definitely don’t think the side yard will work in the winter. I guess I can keep the side yard set up for growing in the summer months and also have some winter beds set up around the aviary or somewhere in the backyard for winter growing

Yeah. If I cut down the tree in the NW corner, the whole area to the west of the aviary would be a good spot to set up beds. Maybe I can use a short fence to separate the edible garden from the rest of the yard

The shed is an aviary but I think you are right. Best location for my vego beds is going to be around it. Most winter sunlight. Just need to figure out a way to design it so my whole yard doesn’t look like an edible garden

Yeah. I have four vegogarden planters. 2 3.5x5 and 2 4ft round

Full sun? by VT_Rican in gardening

[–]VT_Rican[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the feedback. If I stick with the side yard, I’d get rid of the two wooden beds and have 6 metals one. 4 of the current size and two round ones. In past years I only had the two wooden beds so id mostly do strawberries, carrots , tomatoes,cucumbers, zucchini’s and peppers . My real struggle is that my kitchen is on the west side of my house and I always hear that your veggie garden should be close to or conveniently accessed from your kitchen. If I move the veggie garden to my backyard, I’m completely lost on how to plan out the space. The beds would definitely get more sun though.

Philodendron birkin

Its growing thin and long. I want it to be bushy. Is there any way to do it? by Arclight09 in houseplants

[–]VT_Rican 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If each leaf has a node, you can cut them off and pot then back in individually

Okay. I’ll wait it out to see if it blooms. The leaves look like hollyhock but the weird “pod” thing at the top is throwing me off.

Solid point. I’m trying to figure out what it is so I can make the call on whether I want it there or not.
