What did you do in the garden today?

[Nym]

Garden activity was pushing the snow off of the green house. How many days until Spring?

Wow, this looks wonderful. I love that stonework!

You know, Baker Creek sells dandelion seeds. Maybe a cultivated variety would do better.

I've tried bulk dandelion seeds and seeds from Baker. Neither were a success... That's why I opted to collect FREE dandelion seeds from my in-laws property when we visit. They have acres of them... I prefer free seeds while I'm figuring out the best way to get them to grow down here.

Finally got the onion seeds planted! I’ve got a few more herbs to plant for this month but I need to get some of them first, so that will wait until next weekend.

Dandelion does not thrive in sandy soil

They do in my sandy soil. And my heavy soil.

Grow all over out here I use them in salad's.

ROFL. I suppose I should have clarified. They loved my sandy, rocky, dry, alkaline soil. At that point I had no clay.

I never tried growing onions from the root of supermarket round onions. I didn't know that multiple onions sprout from them. I will try this.

I've read that they can grow well in poor soil and even act somewhat as a soil fixer. However I don't think they do well here because of the hot summers. The places where they seem to grow the best - either through native dandelions or seeds I've sowed - is in areas that get shade in the afternoon and hottest part of the day.

I have some old seeds. I'll try dandelions in some shady spot to see if it works.

My palovina ( blue bell) is budding, again let’s hope late frost doesn’t kill the bloom as it did last year

yesterday I got tired working with citrus trees so I need to run to cut paulownia today. around the end of this week temperatures will rise so cuttings must be planted as soon as possible.
