What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

Here's my own pregnant girl, Annie... I had 3 dates marked on the calendar based upon my buck breaking out of his pen - March 4, March 26, and April 22nd. I thought for sure she would kid last weekend. Her belly dropped. I swear her bag filled. And it looked like the tendons around her tail were looser... But here we are 5 days later and no babies!

She's not nearly wide enough yet.

Went to the podiatrist yesterday. I thought the foot was doing good. DR Debried the wound. Scratched on it and made it bleed. It has been 4 weeks.
High of 67 today. I need to be outside today. I have lost leg muscle strength this month with the foot wound. I need to gain that back.

Try getting your foot in the sun as much as you can. UV is the great healer. The Greeks didn't call the sun Helios for nothing. I've had great success on several wounds, some needed stitches but I sorted them with butterflies and sunlight. Even a few minutes is so worth it.

Good idea. I've had good results rubbing vitamin E oil on closed wounds.

Watered the onions that are planted & added some water to the garlic. I added some poppy seeds to water in a silicone muffin pans & put in freezer for the stratification. I'll throw out the frozen pucks in a few different areas in a few days!

First day without pouring rain so Penny got her walk this morning and I could really tell she'd missed it. Poor thing, she was so wired. When we got home I got to see that the swallows were checking out the birdhouse, good to see the english sparrows didn't get there first.

Dropped DP off at the dr office (regular visit) and picked up 100lb of straw, chicken grit, and it'lldofornow chicken pellets. Stopped at a really nice small local nursery to get some replacement snap peas (dang snails) and some collards. Opened the straw bales in the exposed run much to the delight of the girls.

Cleaned out another raised bed and cut back the sage and oregano. The hens were beyond happy since they got two five gallon buckets packed with weeds, grass, snails, worms, and grubs. It all got mixed in with that straw and will keep them busy for a couple of days.

Finished up with spreading the Sluggo, since there shouldn't be any rain till Tuesday night, it should really thin them out.

Started planting onions, sets and some I started from seed. Got 150 planted probably about 200 to go

I spent 11 hours working outside. I am beat.
I picked up more fencing supplies for that missing post.
When I came home I dug the hole, mixed concrete, set that post.
I sprayed all the contact points with flexseal as they don't sell creasote posts anymore. grrrrrr
I set out tall Tposts for the irrigation heads to water the new seed that's down. (I need two more heads and two more posts.)
I took a 30 minute break for lunch and water and got back to it.
The H-brace needed its center, and then its bracing. THe wire reel was locked, so I had to wrestle 12.5 wire. Then the first one I cut was 3 inches too short. GRRRR
The second one was fine, but the ratchet tensioner flew apart. Then back to old school way, that wire was 2.5 feet short. GRRRRRRRR
Third time is the charm. Finally got all the wire tight, and staples in. LOOKS AMAZING!
THEN I installed the hang pegs for the gate. As I turned the last peg and hung the gate, DH rolled into the garage from work.
I feed all the critters and called it a day.
GOOD GRIEF.

Tomorrow I'll pick up those irrigation heads and water some more. I don't want to, but I have to keep this seed wet.

Then I'll get on the wire fence.

I do this so often even when I am being extra super duper careful.

Thunderstorm in the night. 3 days of rain coming. Today last dry day. While outside yesterday I found a squash vine Boer moth on the ground. Crushed it. One less breeder.

Wow, busy day!
