What did you do in the garden today?

Good morning gardeners. No rain here last night. Too bad, I might have to water the garden again. I've got a load of laundry going already. I've got everything I need to get the chicken run completed, so today is the day to get cracking on that. I have to admit that I took a time out yesterday to rest a little. I let the rooster back in with his ladies yesterday afternoon and I think his hormones have finally settled down. Thank goodness. Clearly he is not happy with me and would not take a blade of grass I offered him. He is a good rooster. When the neighbor's cat came calling in the evening and was scratching at the door, old Randy was making a proper commotion to alert me. I called my neighbor to let them know their cat was loose. I am not a cat person, sorry. Despite the work on the chicken run, I need to carve out a little time to give the garden some attention. Weeds all over and I really need to get the pole beans planted. My favorite is dill on scrambled eggs, yum! Here are my last flower shots: rhododendron and honeysuckle. Have a great day everyone.

Morning everyone! Nice out, that awful humidity has left.

Ugh, I put pinless peepers on my mean girl as a last ditch effort & shes struggling. 2 hours & shes finally walking forward instead of backwards. I hope she can figure it out, I cant re-home her because she is a carrier of that respiratory crap & I refuse to keep her separated, we travel too much. I'd have to get another auto door.

I love dill with cucumbers, and then either a balsamic vinaigrette, or a garlic tzaki type sauce. You? Just my use for dill.
I love it on cukes too! But butter & dill on carrots is what my grandma always made. :love & in chicken soup. I love it on any veggies really. & On a salad.
 
@Amoore117 Here comes the corn. Sounds like a low budget horror film from the 50s. Bwahahaaaaaa

Picked up a couple of replacement tomatoes for those that might go sickly on me after transplant. Found a roadside market selling flats of veg or flowers for $12 or 4 packs for 1.50.

Picked up some WHITE cherry tomatoes. We shall see. I might have to find a spot for those today.

Also picked up iris rhisomes for 25 cents each. So planting those

Putting a fence around the chicken compost to keep the chickens from re-infesting themselves.
Putting deer repel cubes in the orchard for the fawns. I was slacking in putting up the training stink strips, which are now replaced.

Cleaning up that bike I need to paint.
Walking through the garden.
 
At Lowe’s for a hose. Figured I’d pick up an extra pack of a seed I had purchased a few days before. No seeds that I could find, so I asked where were the seeds... they already packed them up for the season. And they were not out yet- lots of seeds left and they can’t put them out next year as new seeds. They didn’t even clearance them out!!! Oh well, next store had what I was looking for.
 
Good morning gardeners. Rolled out of bed at 0500 and let the flock out, then took the pups to the park. After we got home I wet down the floor of the mini coop and turned on the fan, poor birds were looking exhausted last night. I added some dry alfalfa hay to the big coop and cleaned out the nest boxes, someone has been roosting above them at night :rolleyes: The shrubs out front are doing well. This is a red bird of paradise, the flowers remind me of a sunset

Mexican bird of paradise, I hope the one out back gets at least as big as this one
