    What did you do in the garden today?

    Harvested basil today. Outdoor planters are still frozen solid so no messing with those yet.

    That sounds fishy to me. If they don’t know what kind of cancer it is how do they know the drugs will work? Praying for your recovery regardless!

    Your 2026 Garden

    The twins have been doing well enough for long enough I moved them back in with the other seedlings. They actually have bigger true leaves than the ones that didn’t get transplanted. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Currently 3/5 on the ghost peppers. Memo to myself: if I grow these again, they never leave the heat mat until they break ground.

    Barred Owls have been very talkative and I heard a gobbler a few days back too.

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    Made oatmeal cookies last night for summer consumption. The idea is to not have to bake when the summer heat hits, just take whatever I want out of the freezer. Currently resisting the urge to take some back out for right now. 🤪

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I don’t think I could squeeze those in with my limited space, but I’ll try to keep that in mind. I rescued most of mine from the woods where they’d been dumped 😒 by one or more neighbors getting rid of dead house plants. Some of them are nicely decorative too!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Checked on the garden box where I was trying to overwinter carrots and they’re all mush! Such a waste; I should have just harvested them all. :he I’m also going to be in trouble if I ever get a variety I want to save seed from. I wish I had more in-ground space to work with.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Congratulations! I checked and my chives are just starting to poke out of the ground. Still a good sign; I'd thought they were dead. 🤪 Tarragon was peeking out too, and had signs of digging around it. I put on the wire cloche; hopefully that will keep off the rabbits. I had a second ghost...

    Feeding Wild Birds

    Saw a big flock of starlings in the trees yesterday. I’m not sure what they were doing, they kept swooping around. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    😲 I have one like that right now! *runs to apply water* In other tomato-related news, I tried splitting the twin seedlings last night, hoping to get them before they got too entangled. I still found bits of root in the soil, but they didn't keel over dead last night, so 🙏 they make it! I'm...
