What did you do in your garden today?

I picked a bunch of Rattlesnake green beans and Cherokee wax beans, a few tomatoes, three eggplants, some broccoli shoots, and jalapenos. Pretty happy with today's harvest!

Today I moved the girls tractor and picked treats for them. I am trying to water (low and slow due to gusting winds) in yesterday's tractor location to get the girls waste to fertilize the grass.

Many plants we try to grow in spring do better fall planted when day length is getting shorter. Turnips, radish, Chinese cabbage - mustard family and spinach. Will not bolt in the fall.

Thanks! I'm going to try to plant spinach in the fall this year. My plants tend to bolt before I get much from them.

We have watered twice ?

I watered the garden for the first time this year. All the peas are up out of the ground now. The old carrot seeds haven't sprouted, but the ones from a new pack of carrot seeds I bought ARE coming up. Maybe carrot seeds have to be fresh.

I tossed some carrot seeds from my mom's place in the ground. They were packaged in 2015. I really didn't expect them to sprout, especially since they were kept in a shed that was not temperature controlled. But to my surprise, they DID sprout... At least some of them anyway.

Planted these and tore up most of the weed cloth in the vegetable garden. Have to lift the bed up to get to the rest. But yeah. It was all torn up and holes in it and stuff so we’re just gonna put new down.

I planted spinach celery beets turnip and corn in the garden a couple of days ago but that's about it.

Weather work took over my day starting at 9pm last night and is just now winding down.
I managed to get the peonies and the hen's ashes planted/buried in between hail storms today.

I filled in the row where I put the spinach and kale starts with some collard seed. And a row of onion sets in front, since they won't shade the greens.

I planted the trumpet vines I bought. The one from TSC looks iffy. The two I bought there last year were dead, I think. Imagine that. TSC can kill trumpet vine.

In got tired of eating my kratky bak choy, so I hung one up for my chickens and they ate a few leaves. These chickens don't eat leafy greens unless they are alive. They don't eat the leaves I throw on the ground, but they will devour a green leafy vegetable in a pot.

Considering buying a freeze dryer. For those of you who have one, what brand do you have and is it worth the price?
