What I got

keep it more loose. it looks like shower hose that breaks up easily if pushed hard.

yesterday wind broke my young fig tree low around the base there are 10+ figs on the tree. I tied it till I find out how to fix it. maybe it is not worth it by I'll try anyway. I am thinking to screw it. that is the only "strong" solution.

That was how it came in the box, but thanks. I store hoses in wide loops, 28"-32" perhaps?

Oh, I guess according to your photo, the glads are blooming every which way. Mine seem to bloom toward the west side of the yard.

Really? Some are facing North and some South.

I've been pregerminating my bean seeds, and have gradually planted them out. It's too cool yet to direct seed. Did the majority of them yesterday, and more popped by this morning, so got those out too. Harvested all the oregano this morning, and having DH dig out the huge patch of them so I can put something else there.
Of course, there's always weeds to kill.
I bought some new lavender plants to put in. My really old ones took a hard beating this winter. I bought l. augustifolia and another on called Blue Spear. Anyone else here love lavender?

I LOVE lavender! My fav home would have a clothes line w lavender growing near it or under it. That is another thing I can’t grow here

I do but I can't get it to live thru the winter here. Technically it should, & sometimes it will live one winter just to die the next. I tried to start some from seeds this year but the seeds were very old.

Good morning gardeners. Yesterday was mowing and trimming the little chicken yard then the same on the backyard. I worked on weeding the early pea patch in the rock garden. I’ll work on clearing the rest of that garden area before breakfast today to prep for lima beans and a couple of pumpkin plants. I found a lightweight battery operated weed eater and brush cutter on Amazon for under $100. That will help immensely on keeping the walking paths open on the slope.

Rain rain!
Mostly surveying garden this morn.
I’m not sure I like the butternut squash w okra as it’s becoming more difficult to get down paths!
I really hope I have I big juicy Sweet watermelon!!!
First sunflower about 10-12 ft.
My hydrangea is the happiest I’ve ever seen it. I hope it goes deep red this year instead of a dusty rose color.
Anyone else leave spiders in garden? I cal them my friends

So it won’t reseed itself?
