What did you do in the garden today?

legit gardening today, Feb 1, 35F, west central Ohio.

Took out the hoe and seed packets of poppies. Spread some seeds here and there where I’d like some poppies. Then, I walked around to look at the fruit trees.

There was sun today, so that was very nice to experience as it has been awhile since the sun has been seen.

Oh, I’m going to guess the goats are pregnant. They are WIDE!! Assuming the one was impregnated right away (the stud was really really focused on her - and ignored the other) then she is just about 3 months pregnant, with 2 months to go. The other one looks less wide. So she is likely not as far along and/ or fewer babies. We think she is 2-3 weeks behind the other.

Well it didn't last very long because now it's raining but now they're talking about a massive thunderstorm and it's going to be packed with rain.

It was windless, sunny, and 65'F today. Unbelievable.
No garden plans yet.

Was 50f and a big yellow Ball in the sky. I hadn't seen for weeks.
Started some more onions seeds in the house.

50 something and some afternoon sun today. I made a dry gravy mix that turned out very good. It was a mistake for a soup mix. Flour, cornstarch and some Boullion powder. I found I can add it to hot liquid without problems. Can also make a rue with it,

Well, I didn't have much daylight left after I finally finished with work. I finished spraying fruit with the All Season oil. Then I decided I needed to clean up the strawberry barrels. I did one barrel in the dark yesterday. Two more left to do... I didn't get very far before it got too dark. About 2/3rds of the way through the next barrel. However, I did find quite a few baby runners that never got potted and still have green leaves. I collected 22 of them so far. I put them in a pie pan with some water and put them under lights. We'll see if they start growing... If they do, I'll pot them up and start another strawberry patch somewhere...



Oh, I did go through my seeds today too and pulled the ones that need cold stratification. Put them in a padded envelope and in my spare refrigerator. I'll pull them out in a couple of weeks after we get past February, I think.

They grow wild here. Dormant cuttings root easily. I found that out using them as row markers in the garden. They grew.

Very new to all of this going to google and YouTube Dominant cuttings, as I've heard they grow wild here in NC also

I want to garden and dig in the dirt. Too early and too wet. Forget the groundhog spring arrives about March 21.

My PO is New Lenox. That's the only USPS place in town. The USPS said the seeds were supposed to be delivered on the 31st by 9 PM. But then they sent them off instead. No wonder they are losing money . Thank God this isn't chicks.
