What did you do in the garden today?

Caught 3 mice in a repeating trap on top of the humidity dome over the onion seedlings. They dug up a few cells when I left the top off. I thought they would stay away from onions. No idea what they were finding.

@Molpet Did the mice end up being chicken food?

I have been considering turban squash. Grew it once 40 years ago for decoration. It has a very hard shell. Very colorful. Thinking I could cross it with something bigger for a larger colorful pumpkin. I have seed of a pink pumpkin in the Maxima group. Might be interesting. Might even taste good.

I rearranged the fence around my garden so that there's around 100 more square feet that are protected from the deer. After that I planted two varieties of flower seed. One is a native flower I collected seeds from last summer. The other is a variety I purchased.

Both require cold stratification in order to sprout. I hope I got them in the ground early enough.

I also fired up my lawn tractor and drove it around the yard for a while to work the engine and transmission, and charge the battery.

It got up to 57F here yesterday. I pulled up the plastic fencing at the back of the big garden and pounded 4 T posts into the ground. I finally got the hay bale in the front yard leftover from Halloween and Christmas decoration's split up and moved. I also ordered pinto bean seeds. Sunday dinner is going to be chicken and okra gumbo in a nod to the upcoming Mardi Gras. I’ll be using the okra and tomatoes I grew. Tomorrow I’ll be making up a muffuletta for Tuesday’s dinner. Hopefully the grandkids will help with planting onion seeds today.

Cartoons? I don't think Bugs Bunny would be helpful. LOL. ❤ (autocorrect is hilarious sometimes )

Burnt a big pile of grapevines, multiflora, and honeysuckle yesterday. Enjoyed the last day of warm weather. Temperature started dropping last night and snow in the coming forecast.

They’re calling for 9 to 12 inches of snow here on Tuesday. Wah! Then more seasonal temperatures in the low 20’s to low 30’s.

I have a plantar wart. Been looking into homeopathic treatments. I had warts taken off my hands and feet every which way when I was a teenager.

My sister's dermatologist (same Dr I use) gave her these instructions for wart removal
