What did you do in the garden today?

Mine have been in my garden for 6 years. I started w a potted start and it grows back every year.

My potted herbs and walking onion a huge pot of garlic chives going on 8 years most of them.
Good morning Gardeners.

I can get them and onions to about an inch tall, and then they flop and die.

If they die from the tip your soil is too dry. If they just flop over, the soil is likely too wet. If they're reaching for the light and bend in half, they need more light. My guess is too wet, since they're only an inch tall.

Good morning gardeners. Socked in by a nasty winter storm. We’ve had over 9 inches of precipitation in the last 25 hours. Snow, sleet, rain, more snow and 4 more inches expected. Power went out for 1/2 hour in the middle of the night then again for 1 1/2 hours this morning. Upside is there’s a good deal of snow on the roof to insulate the house. I cooked my breakfast oatmeal on my sterno stove and as soon as it was finished cooking the power came back on. Yay! I was able to make toast. There’s another storm heading our way on Wednesday. But everything is so pretty. So much nitrogen for the garden.

Wow! That is a LOT of rain. Stay dry and warm!

I ended up buying a small, potted bunch of chives last spring, it was doing well in the fall so hopefully it will come back in the spring. I can’t get out there to check on it, its been such a mld winter it may still be growing for all I know!

We had freezing temps this morning, going to turn on the hose and water a few things good before tonight. More of the same expected.

The soil was too wet. I just never went back to growing them.

We are predicted to get between 4 to 7 inches of snow tonight/ tomorrow. We will see how that all plays out.

1-3 or 2-5 inches of snow here, depending on where the front goes. I'm betting we'll get about 2 inches and hubby will still be pissed off that he can't go skiing.

 

[Iluveggers]

I’m sick of snow. Enough, already! Two snow days in 3 days, with more coming.
