What did you do in the garden today?

[igorsMistress]

Just got home with cement to set some poles for shade this summer. We have a few treated wood tree stakes that were never used. We’re setting them in concrete and attaching eye screws so we can attach a shade tarp in the hottest part of the summer. I set up a feeder for the chickens in the shade garden and I need to prep the soil where I intend to plant luffa this year. It’s somewhat overcast today and is still a wee chilly in the shade, enjoying it while I can, we are already getting hit with the mid 80’s next week

I transferred a sage plant into a larger pot this morning. The dirt outside thawed so I dug up some horseradish roots too.

Got some lettuce, spinach, strawberry and marigold seeds planted. I guess it’s just as well the onion seeds didn’t arrive yet because I’m almost out of coir.

I should get out and get some HR for spring yummies.

Planted seven persimmon trees and a peach tree today. Didn't get around to the loquats, figs, or elderberries though. Wrapped the persimmons in chicken wire too since they're in a spot that the wildlife likes going. I ache. It's mostly a good ache.

I, too, use winter for structural projects. I made a simple swing for the chickens (they're spoiled). And I identified where I want my bare root trees to go.
Also bought a gate for the garden. I'll attach some vintage welded wire I found in a free pile.

I'm also in tree-planting mood. I pick up a bare-root Ranier cherry this week.
I'd love to find a fuyu start.
Bareroot berries are going in pots in the spring. I'm not ready to think about how I'm protecting them from the hens but I've got time.

I checked on the yucca babies. 2" tall
No fig shoots from the propagation yet. Boo.

I bought a packet of Cascadia pea seeds today. They'll go into the ground late Feb or early March, depending on the weather.

I looked for red cabbage seed but found none. I'm going to grow red cabbage because it's supposed to have some resistance to the cabbage root maggots that hang out in my garden area.

I bought mine on Amazon last year and this year.

I went to buy dog's food and could not resist to pass by the nursery next door. as my first batch of lettuce is overgrown I bought more lettuce and some flowers. going to transplant them later.
