What did you do in the garden today?

[5 Points Wingfeather]

I can’t be certain but I’m 99 percent ants are some of my carrot seeds and moved others of it so I think I have little carrot sprouts popping up outside of the straight line I showed them in. A couple sprouts in the row 3ft away

I had a dream about grafting tomato plants, it was so real I thought I already received the silicone 2mm grafting clips that I ordered from Tomato Growers. I spent the whole day looking for the clips and gave up frustrated. Latter that evening I checked my email and found out that they just shipped it and its still in transit. What a mind blowing experience..........by the way if you were me where would you put the attachments for a new vacuum cleaner you just bought? I can't find them.................

Have faith in your onions. I find missed onions in our bed from last year that were growing after being out there all winter.

Same here, I am always surprised what onions can survive.

My poor doggo is still not feeling great. I’m torn if I bring him to the vet or not. I’m not supposed to walk him on a leash, but my neighbor would probably go with me. He is eating, pooping & peeing fine, his drinking has slowed but I’m getting water in him mixing it in with his bland food (scram egg & canned pumpkin). He is afraid of any water bowl, always has been, so water is always a struggle with him anyway. He had a new stuffed toy last week, best guess is he may have eaten a bit of the insides as his poop had some stringies this am but he’s good about spitting it out normally. Could have been my hair too, we all get that here, lol. Ugh, not sure what to do. He’s acting fine, just throwing up a little bit here & there but is holding food down. Sorry, so not garden related, lol!

Poor guy, I hope he feels better today!

Uh oh! Trouble?
We have people trying to avoid potholes by swerving onto our property. I'm sure they will realize it's not just vacant land once we put up a T-post fence/barrier, and a sign or 20.

So far we've actually been ok, but our area is growing RAPIDLY. Like, they can't even get the roadwork done fast enough to manage the new traffic. I've lived in this area for over 25 years now and in this house for about 11 of those years. It has always been a really safe area but as they continue to build around us, the crime is increasing along with it. Because of where our property sits, we also get a lot of curious people that walk along the back and side, so my neighbor and I are trying to put a stop to it because when someone actually BLEW UP a shed down the road, they used that open space between our homes to high tail it. She's eventually going to extend her fence out like mine as well. We both have security cameras too, but I'm going to get more...I just want my boring country life back, lol.
It's all happened because they're building a big trucking company smack dab in the middle of our town...
If I could afford to move right now, I would.

Spring arrives in...

I've used the yellow strips. They help but don't eliminate the problem. I've never used an indoor bug zapper. Does it work on house flies too?

Yes! But at night. You have to have a dark house, so that the flies are attracted to the light

Planted two more rows of potatoes one Pontiac red and one Yukon gold (Rows are only about 25 foot long). The three rows will provide the Wife and I potatoes all the way through until the end of February or March if they make well.

Those are my two favorite varieties. Good luck!

I open the lid for my seed starts every day to check them and give them a little extra air flow. Noticed this morning that the flax, sesame, and at least one Amish paste have germinated already! I just put them in the starter cells on Saturday!

I'm sorry. Ugh. I'd move if I could, too. But, my kids keep me here. I can't be away from them. Especially as I age. I hope you can get that open area secured, soon. Good you have cameras
