What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

yellow tomato starts can be too much water, which can lead to lack of nutrients.
They need half strength fertilizer once a week.

Morning - happy weekend!

Finished up the new covered run, they're all safe from HPAI with a lot more room. They're enjoying it, digging for bugs. I don't know how I got thru life before knowing cattle panels.

Got the last of the broth out of the freezer, couple more batches to can & that will be done. Liking this canner. Cow went to slaughter today & will hang for 2 weeks, I should be set with freezer space.

I got the Ball Blue Book - lots of interesting recipes & some real good info. A little annoyed the corner is smashed in considering what I paid for it. But it really doesn't matter, it's only a matter of time till I drop it & smash in the other corner. LOL

A bit rainy & really foggy out, not sure I'll get anything done in the garden today, it's just too wet. Tomorrow will be better.

My Ball Blue book has been through the wringer. Stained, cover is bent and wrinkled, back half has water damage. Yours just got a little head start on the well used look.

I cleaned out some fresh chicken poop....and mixed it with about 200 lbs of top soil, and added it to my tomato rows before planting in a few weeks. Covered the rows with landscape fabric to heat things up . My FIL always had the best tomatoes by doing this. I also harvested my parsley that did fabulous over the winter.
Chickens doing double doody...

Good morning gardeners. It’s beautiful outside, cool if you’re standing around but when you get moving a tshirt is enough. I have the gardening class at the worm farm today, and hubs is taking the wee fur baby to the vet ER. She almost ripped the nail off one of her dewclaws somehow and was bleeding pretty bad. I don’t think it can wait for the vet on Monday, she’s a beast about playing and ball games so it’ll get ripped off the rest of the way if we have it fixed. That’s all for now, I’ll check back in this afternoon. Enjoy your day all!

Have you fertilized them at all? Too much water, not enough food?

I definitely don’t think it is too much water. I have been giving them a commercial tomato fertilizer once a week diluted to half strength for the last 2 weeks.
I guess I’ll keep on trying.
Any idea if they will green up once planted outside?

I hope the class you are going to is amazing !! Hope the fur baby gets fixed right up for not too much $$

They might.
Tomatoes are weird. both hearty and whimpy.

My canning books look nice and "used" too. I've written a lot of helpful notes in the margins. I put some tape flags on the edges of the pages I use the most. Though now, the book opens right to those pages anyway.

Little corn starch on the nail will stop the bleeding
