What did you do in the garden today?

Looks like radish . The leaves look like my fall Diakon and the flowers look like radish . 

Maybe, I don't recall seeing much of a root on them but I never really looked. I forgot to add it's also slightly spikey.

crimson giant radish



Diakon radish



Turnip

Dan these pics were just taken . Not all turnips produce a edible root . Seven top is for greens . Radish sometimes bolt to seed without making a edible root . It could even be a type of mustard but it does not look like the wild mustard I have here .

We are going to go to town today and I will have to see if they have anything I can use. We don't have any hay right now. hahahaha
There are no weeds that I can find in the strawberries. I can't believe they want 9.29 for a bale of pine straw.

It is crazy higher priced thank anything I have seen. I thought paying 6.00 for a bale of straw last year was high.

I could not find anything I wanted to spend money on today. I will look again tomorrow when we go get tires put on the truck. Hopefully they will have something.

I haven't priced it for about 3 years. It was $8.50 then. I told them they could keep it. What about finding a local stable? Some stables use that crinkled shredded brown paper for bedding. That would be perfect, as it would have some nuggets mixed in. Most likely not enough to burn the plants. There are piles of that stuff in the compost area at my town dump. I love my dump!

I've seen pine straw rolls listed on Craigslist for $10 a roll. It's not a big roll like hay, but maybe 1/2 that size or less. I guess the best thing about them is that there are no seeds.

If you see some hay bales for sale, give them a call and see if they have any hay left over from last year or the year before. If they do, you might can get that quite a bit cheaper than fresh baled hay.
