    What did you do in the garden today?

    Good luck to you on the drought! Hand watering is tedious, that’s one of the reasons I’m looking into an irrigation kit. Hope you feel better soon! Thank you!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Happy New Year everyone! I have compiled my list of lessons learned from last season: My shade garden boxes need more consistent watering than I have been giving them. An irrigation kit might help with this. The soil in my boxes is poor (extremely low potassium, nitrogen). I purchased...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My concern with a plain tray is that I might overwater them and end up with root rot again. I lost at least half my onion seedlings to that last year.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I started some oregano seeds and some Iroquois Cornbread beans in pots today. I want to start the onions too but I’m not sure what kind of planter(s) to use this year. I did toilet paper roll pots last year and those did better than the plastic seed tray, but they’re supposedly good to start...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    It’s supposed to rain all day here and then be below freezing the rest of the week. 🤮😒 Maybe I’ll package up seeds today.

    The Honey Factory

    It was brought to my attention that the relative who keeps bees doesn’t put an insulation cover on their hives. Any recommendations/things to watch out for when picking out covers?

    I got my seeds today! ❤️ MIGardener sent a little sample packet of their fertilizer too, so I guess I’ll have to try that out next year…

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Today I broke into the cucumber slices I stashed in leftover pickle brine. I am pleased to report they made acceptable pickles! Good thing too because I already bought more of the same kind of cucumber seeds. 🙃

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I probably should have put some sort of cover over my carrots so I could do similarly. As-is they’re just covered in lots of snow. 🫣

    Feeding Wild Birds

    Refilled the birdbath today in anticipation of single-digit weather. I think the deicer I’m using is a little overpowered for the size of the birdbath, the water keeps evaporating.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Single digits again tomorrow. 🥶 Unrelated, I think I missed a potato in one of my pots. It’s inside (and has been for a while) with the intention of planting things after Christmas and I’m not sure what else that sprout could be.

    Feeding Wild Birds

    My local redtail swooped by yesterday. Haven’t seen it in a while. I need to refill the suet feeder soon. Bad weather incoming and the little birds are stuffing their faces.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Icky weather incoming. I got myself in gear and put some leaves on most of the garden boxes. Hopefully the rain/snow mix will make sure they stick.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    All I bought was seeds and I thought they usually did free shipping past a certain $$$ amount for those. Which is to say I hadn’t given it a second thought. 😶 I hope this doesn’t hurt them too much, I know they had some growing pains this year.
