What did you do in the garden today?

Not as warm today as yesterday but still middle 50’s here. Picked up some strawberry plants and they shall be the first items planted for the 2020 season. Gonna plant some pea seeds next!

Just say it yes Damn, crap I am so sorry

ON the UPSIDE. The safety roll bar on the tractor saved me. I keep the tractor in the main garage in the winter, it's heated and more convenient for plowing up here first. As I was putting it away, the door was going up. As it reached the top the cable snapped as I pulled in, the door slipped down hitting the safety bar as I was moving forward which knocked a wheel off the track and locked up the door from coming further down. So yay...

Would have been SUPER expensive had it been my truck and worse, my head!

Good morning @WthrLady. Glad you're up and online. I still have some neem oil and fungicide spray that I got two seasons ago. Does that stuff really go bad? And when should I spray the fruit trees? When they have buds or blooms? Or after? I know it's early so if you need to caffeinate some more I'll be patient.

OK, Neem before the blossoms open, again AFTER the petals drop, and then every two weeks
Fungicide
when the flower buds first begin to develop, then again when grow larger and swell, but before they open.

Good morning gardeners. I hope you all are well and healthy. Yesterday morning I cleaned up two more of the raised beds, now only 3 more to go. I am adjusting my original garden plan to accommodate the hoop garden bed where I had originally planned on planting butternut squash. I can always plant them either later or in a container somewhere else. I planted more seeds, so that's exciting. I need to scrounge through all my stuff and find a good container to plant the Mesculin salad mix. The package says it only takes a month to harvest. I feel pretty good about how I've put this property in order to be my safe little bubble during the hard times. This was my intent when I moved here. I think many of you are in a very similar situation. I regularly keep a good supply of everyday needs so when a crisis like this happens, I have at the very least, the basics. I have my stored produce and a supply of fresh protein. Recovering from the aftermath of this outbreak may be tough, so I thought the best thing I personally could do is to plan on growing more vegetables so I can share that with those less fortunate. Or use some of the excess to barter for things I may need later on. I do want to take a moment and thank all of you for the camaraderie as we share our passion for gardening and feeding our families and friends. And thank you all for the advice you have given me. Please remember to reach out to those heavily burdened by this crisis and let them know we all care. Have a great day everyone.

Looks to be a bit more cloudy today but still in the mid 50’s so can’t complain. I’ve been cleaning up a bit inside but have some lawn work and garden stuff to get to by lunchtime!

 

[WthrLady]

damp and cloudy.
More sewing today. Just to get it off my plate and put the machine away so I can focus on the loom. Although, now that my conference has been moved, I have more time to work on that Tartan. Niiiice.
Horseraddish is in the dirt in the seeding shed.
Bread rising, made pecan pie and cheese last night.

Have a great day all.
