What did you do in the garden today?

I’m looking through the seed catalog I received today. I don’t know what the next few months will bring, but I think it’s okay to plan a garden even if I can’t plant it.

I have a pinterest board that I put all of my new house designs and decor in.
I will never have a new home unless we win the lottery.
Dreamers can dream.

Holy cow @pennyJo1960! That's a lot of snow!

I can honestly say this put 1970 to shame the amount we have here.. No relief this week at least.

Good afternoon gardeners. I can say I did some work in the garden today…I pulled/dug up some weeds. Good enough. We’re supposed to get rain tomorrow and then clear up by Sunday so I’m going to dig the hole for the apple tree while hubs is at work. The ground is fairly soft, but not very far down. At least not in the shade garden. The carrots are really coming up well now, and I dug out the oregano. It’s huge, so I’ll have cut it in half before I hang it to dry. I have a few minor things for hubs to do before the rain starts tomorrow, and the drain pipe for the rabbit tunnel is ready for pickup.

Lots of R&R today. Dreaming of Spring. Wanting to get a berry bush planted where my gooseberry failed last year. I might try another gooseberry out something else.

A crazy idea here... what if I removed the duck pen fencing and let them have the run of the fenced in garden? Most of my beds are raised 20-24". Onions are a short bed at just 11". The only cross planted at ground level are tomatoes, cucumbers, potatoes, and squash. Once the tomatoes and cucumbers are tall enough there shouldn't be any worry. Would ducks me with potatoes and squash?

They may eat the greens.

I just received an interesting book from my husband’s ex-wife ( for Christmas). It’s called Old-Time Country Wisdom & Lore by Jerry Mack Johnson. I found these tidbits in it.

I’ve always found old time lore to be very interesting!

My ducks do not bother my plants at all. They love to eat any bugs they can find in the garden, and they love to put nests in the shade of my pole beans.
My geese would decimate my garden plants so i have to protect my plants from them.
My free ranging chickens don't bother my garden much, as they have a ton of yard to explore. Sometimes they help themselves to a tomato.
