What did you do in the garden today?

@igorsMistress do you ever get snow there?

I agree. The animals give me a reason, force me, to get going in the morning.

Ahh, yes except sometimes I lay in bed cursing the fact that I HAVE to get up and slog through the rain/snow/mud/cold to care for the animals. There are no DAYS OFF when you own animals.

Good morning Gardeners. I wanted them to give me exercise.
I detest canned veggies want them fresh. Like I grew up on.
So garden cannot bend well without falling so tires stacked. Fell last night in the house.

Oh almost everyday. I know no one is going to starve, get grumpy sure, but not starve. But we drag ourselves out anyway, don't we.

I moved here in 2004 and we’ve never had it my area, although we’ve had gropple, but that was in 2004 also. It wouldn’t take long to drive to it though and that’s good enough for me.

I wish everyone understood that before they got animals.

I stopped at home depot. They have trees outside and packaged starts inside. I bought a Suffolk red seedless grape. They did not have what I wanted. Dentist visit not good. Need 4 pulled one crown and a partial = $$$$. Insurance will cover most of the cost.

I went out at 3 to feed the animals and decided to check the garden as the old hen wanted to wander around a bit. So I had to occupy my time while she wandered.
The horseradish leaves were no longer smelly and slimy, but dry and snapped right off at the ground. I was just going to do one plant, but she was having such a good time so I did all 100 sq ft of them.
Then I had to pull the old tomato stalks, and as long as I had the rake I decided I may as well rake out the beds and pick up all the winter trash and leaves and put up the irrigation ends.
So it's ready for pre-emergent grass control behind the grapevines, and some soil amendments to the beds.
The horseradish is up about 2 inches. Hearty stuff.
I have decided that where an orchard tree dies, a hazel tree is going in. Sick of babying these *&^% trees that do NOTHING year after year.
