What did you do in the garden today?

[Liz Birdlover]

Yes, I will see if I can figure out a way to attach it here. It has multiple tabs... One for my garden layout. One for a list of veggies I'm planting where I can identify when it was planted, harvest dates, etc. Then one for flowers, etc...

Or I can pm my email address

Good idea. Did you leave them whole and add them last? We’ve bought canned quail eggs before, so many in such a little can!!

Yes, I rinsed the canned quail eggs and put them in whole. I put them in last, but I don't think it really matters.

I got a few peppers up potted. I moved some of the herbs (dill, rosemary, thyme & lavender) & some celery out to a GreenStalk - if it gets cold I'll cover it. I have backups up potted too, just in case I kill any but I'm already over having seedlings in the house & want them out. Time to grow up fast little starts. Not the peppers tho, unfortunately.

ETA: I order some Patio Baby Eggplant seeds - going to try them in a GS. A little late to start them indoor, but that's ok.

watered starts
am building a new shelf for the tornado shelter while the camera auto-records the shadow of 85% totality
Had to put a sick chicken down. NO idea what was wrong with her, but she was suffering, no longer.

Finally Roto-Tilling today! Sunny & breezy but No Rain! Not too muddy for once!!! Hurray!!!



Took an eclipse break 2 to 2:30. I made 2 cereal box viewers & Rick used his welding hat. It was pretty cool!
I'm going to till side of garage, too.

Gardening update:

The tomato and pepper plants continue to grow. They actually look more green than the pic shows, probably due to the LED lights and the camera flash.



The black currant cuttings are all leafing out, so I assume there's some root formation going on too. I'm not so sure about the native red huckleberry cuttings, though.



The daikon seem to be doing well in the bucket. I have a lighter weight floating row cover that I'll put over the plants when they start growing above the height of the bucket rim.
Regular round radishes are growing in the center, within the circle of diakon plants.

Planted kale, carrots, radishes, lettuce and rainbow chard in the big garden. I got my fuel oil delivery. The septic tank pumper will be here tomorrow so I plan to dig up the entry cap after the eclipse. I took the dogs out and checked on the chickens. All but one were just laying around the chicken run. I found the missing hen protecting an egg. The eclipse has started. I took a peek with the special glasses. Only a little “bite” was missing. More work to do inside.

Morning Gardeners, won't see much too cloudy here.

Just past the most of the eclipse here. Almost 95%. Temperature drop was very noticeable.
