What did you do in the garden today?

Hi @Farmdog267 Have you tried using a trellis to grow a vertical type garden? Also hanging pots can produce an amazing array of veggies. That can make the most of your space.
My question today: The previous owner of this property left an amazing wealth of gear and gadgets. I had purchased tomato cages last year and discovered the movers had in fact grabbed the tomato cages from my old house. The previous owner left me an additional 6 cages. So with such an abundance, has any one used these with cucumbers and summer squash? I think it would work better with these plants if the large end on the ground. Has anyone done this before?

I did that last year with green beans. Made picking a snap. But the beans grew so tall I had to string yarn in between cages. That worked out fine. The beans took to the yarn. I think I’ll grow green beans again this year this way. Sniping the yarn made for easy clean up too.

Today I'm gonna try to get some celery planted - I forgot about it when I did the alliums - then herbs. Then the rest of this week I will be doing the 8 week starts which is a massive number. Peppers, tomatoes, most of my flowers, etc. It's a lot. o_o;

And it's gonna be a busy social week too.

We have had small snow shower squalls yesterday as well as twice this afternoon. Coating to 2 inches possible for evening rush hour tomorrow and 56 with heavy rain on Sunday... Back to mud from frozen.. Not sure which of those 2 options I prefer.. lol

Man, I wish we had mud! It snowed all day yesterday, some 3-4 inches.... Now it's compressed down into 2 inches from some slightly warmer weather. It's been a consistently cold winter. Very good for once from an environmental perspective but not so goo for the amount of work I wanted to get done!
I'm hoping spring will be on-time but it's already a lil late tbh. I feel like we're gonna have some late frosts this year.

That's a great idea! Thanks.

another 6 inches of snow last night. Piles along my private road and long driveway are now 8 foot wide and 4-5 foot high. Now comes the rain...... I have had enough. It is now the snowiest winter season on record here. good grief.

We’ve already received 75% of our annual rain fall and it’s only March. The forecast is for 5 days of snow. We’re headed for a record too.
Dunno Iffin that makes you feel any better
Cabin fever is real.
