What did you do in the garden today?
Old seeds are starting to germinate day 5. Collards and spinach. Next trip to the city I need to get potting mix and seed snail material. I think I will buy a roll of 5 1/2 inch sill plate foam to make the snail. Since these are cold hardy crops I will plant them in the snails now. Scratch the... -

Different raspberries are native in different parts of the country. In my area we have wild black raspberries. In MN wild red raspberries. Reds will grow here but do not go feral. In MN black raspberries are iffy and never go feral. Climate makes a difference. Never had a gross raspberry. I plan... -

Been watching garden videos. Took an interest in these fermented recipes for plant growth. They all seem geared toward mineral and trace elements. Even fermented wood ash. So I started a bucket to ferment. Supposed to jump start microbial in the soil. -

Got the lawn mower out to mow over a rough area. Nothing growing yet. I started using PRI-G fuel additive and left the fuel in. Started first pull. No old gas issues. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Checking my seed stash. Doing a germination test on some old spinach seed. I have a thought. Dangerous I know. If any sprout I may plant in a seed tray and transplant later. Our climate makes spinach difficult. A cold spring slows it down and the end of May it bolts. It is a race to get any to... -

Anyone else notice how poorly educated people are? I saw a post air on the side of caution (error). Another If in drought throw it out (doubt). My 7 and 8 English teacher made sure I knew the difference. I struggled in English class but I did learn. They do not know cursive or how to read an...- jerryse

Ah you know the truth that no one talks about. Asian ladybugs were imported to help control pests in California agriculture. People started collecting them and selling them. Helped them spread across the country. The elephant in the room. -

I have baby bunnies. 8 total 4 black and 4 spotted. -

Sounds good but you just gave a huge amount of larva a buffet. You must kill pests on the trap crop to make a difference. -

False spring. Enjoy it while it's here. It will not last long. -

I have been trying to slow my loss of abilities. Supplements and stretches I learned in PT. Slowly regaining a little bit. I can do some things easier. Picking up off floor, stairs and I can push a grocery cart longer. I was using the battery ones. I can last a little longer outside. Small... -
