What did you do in the garden today?

[Peep_Show]

Soon to be making salsa and pickling peppers.

"Oh, Peter Piper!!! Yoo-hoo!!"

Filled out an other 6' of the HK mound. Loving this little chain saw we bought. I can actually start it by myself!

Are boys helped me out in the yard yesterday, so last night I set out by the fire burning wood to add to the compost & chicjen run.. it's still a bit warm here, I SAT back and had to mr. Going. It was beautiful.

Today I'm going to clean out more garden bed's. Also get the seed's ready.e

Yesterday I processed 19 jars of salsa and 8 jars of apple butter. That was a lot of work. If I can build up the motivation today I will go and pick our Aronia berries and make a jelly with them.

more questions about the Aronia, ever green? Not sure if they will do well in our zone. 9.. might be to hot. . I looked up the species, there were three different ones. I definitely would not want the hybrid one. This is right up my alley., it's looks beautiful produces fruit and would hide the alley. How tall does your get? And how fast does it grow. Still searching more information.

Have you tried making your own seed tapes?

I just tried it with some carrots and onions. They were more like seed mats but it took a whole lot of bending over out of the process...and...the seeds are sprouting.

I made some one year and it was so much easier to plant them. I think I will try toilet paper next time though.

No, not yet. . Do you use cornstarch as a base? Toilet paper sounds really good. Thanks for the idea

No...we used some generic Elmers glue.

Did some more today with beets, collards, and kale. We used strips of newspaper this time.

We saw some seed tape at Home Depot...15 ft. for $3.95. At $1.00 an ounce for seed we can do a lot better making our own and it really saves our backs. And we don't pay tax on seed.

The glue doesn't seem to bleed through newspaper nearly as bad.
