What did you do in the garden today?

No-go for gardening work today because of the snow so I'm smoking a slab of spare ribs instead.

We only got about 3 inches of snow but it rained all morning up until 1PM. OMG! I cleaned up the paths in the backyard early and it wasn’t too bad. I did the front walk and the driveway after lunch. Good grief the slush was heavy. All done. I’m resting a little now but will try to scoop some more slush in the back. It did a lot of melting but there’s no place for the water to go.
I am slightly jealous 😊

I am so eager to get some gardening done, but I know I am at least a couple months from that.
 
Hubby ordered a pair of grow lights. We're going to set up a shelf and try to sprout some peppers. They grew very slowly and were only about 2" tall when I set them out in the garden. Hopefully getting them started here in the house under grow lights will get them bearing some peppers before ... September.
I hear you! I usually get tomato plants already started at about 6” tall.

This is the spiciest tasting rocket i've grown. It was a transplant from the lawn and is now growing in all the carpark leaf mulch i've been swiping.

I think this is a Chinese red cabbage? I live alone, so a few leaves from various greens and a meal is ready. All that lemon balm behind it get's used in the chook bedding and my cups of tea.

Italian Chickory. Slightly bitter but the chickens like it, and it could be a good substitute for those struggling with the dandelions. Chickory spreads very quickly from offshoots. I'm going to poke a few runners in the chookyard where it can grow mad.
