What did you do in the garden today?

[Sally PB]

I need to replant a bunch of no-show tomatoes. The seeds with the best germination rate are the Amish Paste that I saved from last year.

Supposed to get to the mid-upper 70s today. I sure hope so.

The Littles have a new playpen. I picked up some window screens from Habitat and added hinges for easy storage and use. When they can fly to 2.5 feet high, I'll toss a frost sheet on the top with some clamps. I'll build them a swing this morning to play and roost on.

Loose plans to drive the dog to the V-E-T for a quick nail trip and then to town to the tractor store for a B-A-T-H and order more alpaca feed.

I'll check the seeds in the starting shed on my way down to let the birds out and move some more tomato trays to the greenhouse.

I really need to get the mulch walkways in the garden and get going inside the garden walls. LOL.

Have a seedy day all.

Morning all!

Got the habaneros planted under the tunnel & watered. I hope they do well. I don't have enough room in that bed for the cayennes & I'm not sure I want to put up another tunnel. They may stay in under the lights for a couple more weeks.

Will get the parsley, squash & cukes in today as it looks like last night was the last of the cold. Can't wait to stop hauling them in & out every day.

At least you don't have to scoop their poops.

Ah, you must spell or get caught by the dog as well. We have to also spell P A R K or all hell breaks loose.

Good morning gardeners. I am definitely getting outside today after work. Had some heat exhaustion on Saturday, it snuck up on me but it was my fault. Not doing that again, but do have chores to get done before this happens

I am NOT ready for triple digits.

My friend had a Jack Russel that learned how to spell everything! He was such a smart dog.

Good morning gardeners. Good golly @igorsMistress, those temps scare the **ap out of me. It's 68F in my sunroom with the pellet stove going and I'm in a tee shirt and sandals. The temps outside are in the low to mid 40s right now. It's supposed to get near 70F today. The plan is to test out the new weed whacker/ mini mower this morning then do the big yard with the riding mower this afternoon. The backyard may have to wait for another dry day. Yesterday I up planted my peppers, okra, and dill, prepped two garden beds and did some edits in my garden plan. I'm planting the okra in the raised bed with the bell peppers, well, as soon as they are ready to go outside. The summer squash is going in the salad greens bed and the cucumbers are going into the little round bed where I planted peas last year. I've found a couple of places to sneak in the dill so that was almost fun. I really hate creeping charlie. Good grief it is such a pain. It tries to takeover the asparagus bed. On my garden walk this morning, all is well with the salad greens except I'm not sure about the lettuce. I may have to plant that again. The curly endive is starting to pop up, the tiny kale plants are showing signs of growth and the row of carrots I planted is germinating now and starting to poke through the soil. I'm hoping to get the squash and cucumbers planted outside today as well as the replacement daisies in the front yard cutting garden. The zinnia and marigold starts should be ready to go outside next week. And yes, @Sueby, I think it's a breed thing. DD's little rescue Jack Russell mix is a better speller than most 2nd graders. We are now trying to spell synonyms but I'm sure sweet little Ellie will figure it out soon enough.

Best of luck. I love the when it's in the 80s. 100+ is hot for sure. Make sure the ducks have plenty of shade and a clean pool/pond before that hits.

It's getting into the 80s here today even. 68 and sunny right now though. I'm sitting on my patio with my laptop under the new gazebo having coffee. It's lovely out here. It seems that the low hanging cold front receded and a surge of warm air pushed north. Everybody from the south west up into the plains and midwest seems warmer than usual this week. I imagine it's going to go east for you East Coasters out there just like the cold front did.
