What did you do in the garden today?

[BReeder!]

Got about 55 tomato plants in the huge planter box outside. Doubt all will survive the transition from the house outside, may have to move things around they are a little closer than they need to be.
None of my peppers seeds sprouted and the single pepper plant I purchased broke in our first rain. Not sure I'm going to try anymore.
Got three kinds of carrots planted, never grown them before. Curious if it will work.

Really need a chicken tractor to get my ladies to help me pull weeds since they can't free range.

That outdoor fireplace/oven... I LOVE IT!

It rained about 1/4" this morning but the rain stopped around 2 and the sky cleared. So after lunch I went out and let the chickens out and gave them some of the cooked perch eggs and then the wind slapped me with the face with a cold spray of rain. I hustled the ladies back in the run and watered a few things and came back inside. It's blowing like crazy now and there's a fine mist in the air and I have a hot cup of tea...Now the sun is trying to break through. Fine, the weather wins, I'll take a day off.

You guys are contagious . I smashed my finger now too. Hurts like crud. I only caught it in the cabinet drawer so i must've hit it just right. My nail got dented and the pads swollen and a bit bruised.
How are everyone else's booboos?

How long should I have to wait to see the potatoes sprout? I planted a bit deeper than the usual 4”, but not as deep as @BReeder! says he does. I dont want to keep waiting if I ruined them. I did take a picture today but its just the wet bed and I tried to get a pic

of the peas, but I dont know how well you can see them.

How long has it been since you planted? They can take 2-3 weeks to poke through the surface. I planted at least 8 inches deep and they took a good 3 weeks at least to come up.

I lost the beans again... I purchased beans twice and lost them both times. So today I ran to Menards and purchased another pack of beans. The only pole types they had were a sort of green bean. I used then anyway even though I we'll be harvesting them dried. I remember somebody on here said the harvest green beans fresh/tender and dried. I planted them right away when I got home so I don't lose them again.
I would really have liked scarlet runners, but nobody around here sells them.

I also let DS help me pick out some colorful pants and flowers for the two large flower pots we keep at the end of the front steps. I need to get a mosquito plant for the large pot we keep by three front door. I like to brush my hands through it as I come and go. It helps keep the mosquitos away from the doorway as will as off of me.

That is so like me, I just found my grease pencils again for the second time and I was just about to give up and order more.

Lol. That’s the original post form 2012. I may have almost replied to it a few times myself.

Beautiful Iris!


Not after 85F here. Our humidity stays in the 80s and 90s all summer here unless there’s a drought.

Every year I get surprises with my irises. They were all here when we bought the property and I split them and move them and then cant remember what colors are where. This is one of my favs!

I didnt note the date , but at least two weeks. Sounds like I need to be a bit more patient then. Its hard
