What did you do in the garden today?

@Acre4Me I'm sorry about your head, hope that junk goes away!

I went to move the hose on my break and noticed that the olive tree is looking pretty good with lots of new growth on it, yay! I was worried about it there for a bit, it was looking sad and a few of the leaves were paper dry.

Sunshine is leaking through the clouds!

I just got a real score. My neighbor found a source of bunny poop. 50 lbs bags for $10. She got 4 and sold me one. I really need some fast help for the tomatoes, peppers, asparagus, and a few other things this year. I'm going to have a lot of my own compost too. This stuff can go on now.

Well DONE!

Only gardening people would get all excited over a $10 bag of poo.

Haha! Be careful what you eat in the woods. Don't know what it is? Might be Jimsonweed... A historical account for your reading pleasure, found online but available from multiple sources:

In 1676, British soldiers were sent to stop the Rebellion of Bacon, a protest led by a resident of Jamestown, Nathaniel Bacon, against policies of the governor of Virginia. The soldiers failed in their mission because of the hallucinogenic properties of the Jamestown weed (Jimson weed), which was boiled for inclusion in a salad the soldiers readily ate. Robert Beverly describes their resulting behavior in The History and Present State of Virginia (1705): "...some of the soldiers sent thither to quell the rebillion of Bacon (1676); and some of them ate plentifully of it, the effect of which was a very pleasant comedy, for they turned natural fools upon it for several days: one would blow up a feather in the air; another would dart straws at it with much fury; and another, stark naked, was sitting up in a corner like a monkey, grinning and making mows at them; a fourth would fondly kiss and paw his companions, and sneer in their faces with a countenance more antic than any in a Dutch droll.

In this frantic condition they were confined, lest they should, in their folly, destroy themselves - though it was observed that all their actions were full of innocence and good nature. Indeed they were not very cleanly; for they would have wallowed in their own excrements, if they had not been prevented. A thousand such simple tricks they played, and after 11 days returned themselves again, not remembering anything that had passed."

Now, today I got the garden watered, fed and watered outdoor critters. I'm watching the big garden bed to see if anything comes up, but that darn cat keeps digging in the corn row, so may have to replant some or have stuff up in weird spots.

Agree, and who was the first person to look at a geoduck and say, ya, I'll have some of that please!

As a North Texas native, I didn't know what a geoduck was, and had to look it up. Eeeewww!
