What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

Frustrating, I know, but I later found that one lady was in the hospital. Sometimes there are reasons.

Absolutely. I certainly can understand that.
However, and I didn't mention it above, but I replied 30 minutes after she posted it.
Oh well. If it's to be, it's to be. If not.....

Anyone have any non-hybrid new variety tomatoes they're going to try this year. I try to add ONE each year, but haven't picked one yet.

I have fermented the sun chokes, in my opinion they are way more „edible“ than before, but sensitive person will still get a little gassy it always depends on how much you consume

Good to know, thanks!

I spent the day outside, another good day to get things done. I raked all the junk out of the shade garden, started a paver path and built a table/seat out of blocks and a couple pavers. We got the trellis built for one of the dragon fruit plants, moved the other over to the center trellis and pulled up some weed barrier. The chickens have a waterer in there and tomorrow I’ll add a feeder (it’s drying after I washed it). All my projects this week have been with recycled materials so nothing looks perfect, but it’s functional and we spent zero bucks

I made a mistake today with one of my Kratky buckets. I had two indeterminate tomato plants growing in the same net cup and I decided to cut one today. After I cut it close to the root, I realized that the left-over roots from that plant will rot in the bucket and probably rot the left-over plant.

I will shut off the reservoir valve to the bucket, so the solution in the bucket don't back fill the other buckets when it rains. It's a good thing I put a valve on all my buckets.

I will start cloning the side shoots for back up.

Butter and Cream sweet corn, the grapes, horseradish, and bush beans.

Plus the herb garden. That'll do. now I wait.

I don't think they'll rot. I think they'll sprout again.
Heck I cut mine off at the ground every fall, and I just went out to find some of the SPROUTING, even after no rain/snow and far below zero temps. LOL.

Beyond being dry as a bone. It's insanely dry.

I need it to get cold this week so I can trim the orchard.

BTW don't you think that if you post things for sale on marketplace/craigslist, you should actually CHECK your notifications/emails frequently, so that buyers and sellers can get things done?!
OMG. I've been waiting for someone to check their notifications for DAYS.

I asked someone (2 persons) in romania about hatching eggs. as they didn't answer I used google translate and asked them in romanian. still waiting (since jan 19th).

I transferred the onion and shallot seedlings into larger pots yesterday, using a 50/50 mixture of commercial potting soil and mole hill dirt. I watered them in with 1/8 tsp Miracle Gro fertilizer in a half gallon of water.

I went outside to plant fava beans, so I took the wild-patch watermelon seeds with me, got them in the ground, walked to the garage to get a shovel to dig clay to make more seed starting mix, fed the fish, walked out without the shovel, went to collect eggs, got the shovel, back to the garage to get a bucket, dug a bunch of clay, the door flew open so I decided to fix that and now it is lunchtime. The soil will have to wait. The favas are still in my pocket.
