What did you do in the garden today?

Scallions are so pretty, does anyone do anything with the flowers? Like garlic scapes kinda? I feel like I need to push dirt up on them now since I learned that here. View attachment 2134368

Those are so pretty! I've seen the flowers added to salads and I think you can pickle almost anything. Worth thinking about. I planned to pickle our beets 'cuz I didn't think I liked beets, but I really liked those baby ones from the garden. I might still pickle some of them, we have a lot planted. Now I'm thinking about pickling golden beets with some green onion flowers added for a color splash in the jar.

No planting today, although there's still plenty of daylight. I might try to get the last two rows of potatoes planted. I'm not so sure if I'm adding moe or planting something else next to them. It's cool out today though. May has not provided the warm weather I hoped for.

I did get an arbor build for the garden entrance. It's just two 4x4 posts spaced 4ft apart with 2x6's across and a bunch of 18" long 2x3's on top. I'm going to add gates next time I get a chance to work on it.

Great ideas, thanks guys! I'm going to try some vinegar! & then maybe make a vinaigrette out of it. I wish I had something to can, like dilly beans because I would try them there. Maybe I could try some cauliflower...I love just about anything pickled.

It is sleeting out at the moment. Ugh. Come on spring!

@BReeder! that is beautiful! I like that you extended it out from your fence. Actually, the whole look makes me want to fence in our raised bed area.

I picked beets, cabbage, and peas today, I’m gonna make sauerkraut and borsch and beet smoothies.

Bought 5 more plants from the feed store for the garden!

They were out of seed potatoes, so hoping the sad ones in my garden perk up and still grow me some potatoes.

Freeze warning tonight due to temps going to 32F. Hopefully the last of the stupid cold weather.

Will be putting 30+ eggs into the incubator tonight. Finalizing temps now and debating humidity levels (dry or wet incubation). Candled all the eggs for micro-cracks and that was good as I got rid of a couple of eggs because cracks magically showed up with the candling light. We will find out just how successful the males in our flock have been in a few days when blood vessels should be apparent in the eggs.

Well done, well thought out and great looking. A beautifully framed and formalized garden. I am a big fan of fabulous arbors and love the jog from your fence line- very nice detail. Bravo!!!
