What did you do in the garden today?

Soaking rain this week

Same here. I still managed to till the ground during the weekend and got soaked wet of cause. Transplanted some flowers, veggies and Alpine strawberry plants. Tomato and pepper plants will be next. And then watermelons. I just love spring! So do the chickens.

I found a new way to fruit pineapples using banana gas infused in water. This video has scientific evidence that it does work.

I managed to fruit two pineapples with calcium carbide, and they were grown in 2-gallon pots. The calcium carbide method is faster, but it burns the leaves, and I have some plants that didn't form fruit and the calcium carbide need to be reapplied. However, I will try the banana method this time around.

Got the melon seeds in today (thank you @Acre4Me).

Yay!! I hope they work out well for you!



PEE-U….GAG! Farmer is fling cow shtuff in the field behind us. Now THAT is a powerful smell. It should rain an hopefully tamp down that smell. Animals still needed water and food, so I was not spared from the smell.

Weird egg found today. Curved and with “stretch marks” not completely healed…

We call that country fresh. Smells nothing like the room freshener version.
I flung poo last weekend

I got the rest of the tomato plants in the ground except for one chocolate cherry tomato plant. That is for the grandkids garden. I started on cleaning up the front porch brooder. So much dust. I’m hoping the grass in the backyard is dry enough to mow tomorrow. That plus laundry and starting the peppers and okra indoors. It got up to 71F today. Just a little humid but bearable.

I am wore out. Mowed, planted tomato plants and green bean seed. Two rounds of rain tomorrow and 2 more rainy days. So tired of all the rain. Squash transplants look sad. They were hardened off and dark green when planted. All the rain has them turning yellow.

Strawberry, bush green beans and herbs.

weed whacked a couple of raised beds and then dug a bit and made four short rows into them for planting things tomorrow…

I'm working on cutting the sod out around my heavy soil garden, about 12-15" or so. I'll cover it with "slices" pulled off an old hay bale.

I'm using the sod to fill in low spots in the two-track path through the field. One spot is uphill from the garden, the other is downhill. I took 3 cart loads to the uphill one first. Dang, clay sod is heavy. I took 4 loads to the downhill spot. That sod wasn't as heavy, for some reason.
