What did you do in the garden today?

DS wants garden tools like these. They want $15 a piece at the store though! I could get a real full sized rake/shovel/hoe for that price.

I was going to buy a long handled pitch fork at TS the other day & they wanted over $30 for it! I put it back, lol.

I bought myself a new grill today.

MY BEST pitch forks are from a local antique store. $3 each. LOL. FAR sharper and better shaped handle than the new stuff.

I paid $12 for the set on Amazon.

Today I dug just 6-8 inches into the pile and it was PIPING HOT. I couldn't comfortably hold my hand in the hole I made with the fork. It's cooking up and with some turning should be good to go by May

That is the sign of a GREAT compost pile!

Part of our dinner came from last year's garden. Potatoes with onions and garlic. Yum. I feel a sense of contentment from home grown food that I just don't get from store bought.

Breakfast is likely to be reheated taters with scrambled eggs.

Almost out of onions, though. I put them on the shopping list. Sigh.

Awesome! It's getting ordered. Even better, my sister's Easter Bunny is getting it so I don't have to pay the invoice on it from the Easter Bunny.

I have 3 or 4 trees/shrubs grown together that I need to remove. They are on the unkept flower bed I'm digging up and leveling to make room for the new swingset. They were there when we bought the house. I cut them down in the Fall and so far they look dead, but are likely just dormant. It's a tangle of stumps at roots at the moment. I tried digging around it to cut it below grade this evening. That's not working because all the roots are in the way. I think I am going to end up burning it tomorrow afternoon after I'm done working.

Turned and moved both compost piles. Old and newer.

rained most of the day, after 11 am. More rain tonight. Temps drop after the weekend.

ordered some grow lights, and several things have begun to sprout. So the lights will hopefully allow them to grow well.
