What did you do in the garden today?

[jerryse]

Tilled and planted a old chicken run . Of course the pull rope broke on the tiller . Easy fix just shortened the rope . Planted sugar snap , snow peas , Fortex and Kentucky Blue pole beans . These get really long and skinny . Like the French fillet beans . Seeds are slow to form . I can pick standing and a lot of beans due to being long . Yes old age concession .

Well I’ll be 63 before the end of the month. I’ve never seen snow that stayed on the ground in May in all those years. I’ve seen a few flurries before but never any accumulation of snow. Now 2020 arrives. The Corona Virus shows up and now twice in May 2020 I witnessed snow on the ground.
I’m thinking HELL has frozen over!
here are this morning’s picture!

How is this for creative planting? That is a Artichoke in the middle of that stump. I was thinking maybe that will keep the wild pigs from digging it and maybe the deer will leave it alone too. It's in a rotten stump that is moist inside, so maybe it can wick moisture w/o getting a nitro leach. I guess I shall see. View attachment 2137261
It really is a fabulous climate up there especially summer time.View attachment 2137273
I took some wild confetti Lantana cuttings to propagate, not the time to do it but what the heck. The whole forest is littered with it for miles and miles and it is all blooming along with the wild blackberry. Bad but beautiful.View attachment 2137290View attachment 2137274

Thank you! That was lovely!

Good morning gardeners. I think Spring is here finally. I got the front yard trimmed up and some of the mulch down. I'll finish that up today. Looks like we could get another night of frost as well, @Sueby. I'll get the garden beds ready completely so perhaps tomorrow I can pop some seedlings in the dirt. My impatiens seedlings are starting to pop through the dirt. One of the cells in that starter tray has a mystery plant in it. It looks like it may be a squash plant. Very weird. My tiny bay laurel plant is finally showing signs that it is a real plant. I was beginning to think it was artificial. But the two tiny buds on it are starting to open. I'm guessing this little guy wants warm temperatures only. Then I'm sure it will like the temps at the end of next week which is supposed to be near 80F. I'm so sorry about your Mom's predicament @karenerwin. I hope you and your brother can figure this out. I thought hell had frozen over a while ago @Stepnout, I think this might be Armageddon. Love the pictures as always @TropicalBabies. I hope your artichoke does well in the stump. Here's a shot of my frazzled lily (I forgot the real name) last year it was just one flower head, this year it's two. Have a great day everyone.

For Mother’s Day DH and our son put up my third hog panel tunnel. Last year The pole beans were terrific on one so this year I’m doing an experiment with trying tomatoes on them.

That is good idea the hog panel for climbers

And they won’t rot, holes are big enough to reach through, they stand up to wind even fully loaded and you can fairly easily move them. I’ll keep you posted!
