What did you do in the garden today?

My strawberry barrels now have turntables under them!

This should make them easier to harvest and keep trim. I followed @WthrLady advice and used marine lube on the ball bearings so hopefully they won't rust. We had to use the tractor and a tow chain to lift the barrels... Very heavy! Thankfully the turntables support up to 1000 lbs.

Sunny, 80'F, but the pollen and smoke are thick and the winds are howling to 40 mph, so add dust to the party as well.

Nicest day in a while. Outside a lot. Grafted some Seckel pear scions I purchased online. I bought a Kiefer pear tree I need to plant. Cherry trees are starting to bloom.

I looked over the area I'm planting tomatoes, peppers and rattlesnake beans to try and figure out my game plan. I'll need to move several small black currant plants to some out of the way place. I have a month and a half to figure it out.

I pulled 4 buckets of grass (and their stolons) out of the grapes. I pulled/dug 3 buckets of weeds out of the rest of the garden and gave them to the chickens.

Nothing except a few marigolds have sprouted in the green house, still. As long as we get even half an hour of sunshine, it gets warm enough in there to be green house-y warm.

Oh, the sun has to be high enough in the sky to shine INTO the green house, Mother Nature. Don't give me a half hour of sunlight at dawn and say, "there ya go!"

Yep, that totally counts.

Snow and rain today. I did a little research trying to figure out what tool(s) I’m going to need to cut my cattle panels down to the appropriate size.

I just used a pair of cobalt brand long handle bolt cutters. I placed one handle on hard ground and push down on the other. Cuts like a dream.

I got the cattle panel fence back up around the two lavender beds before Tony dog kills it all with Mr Ball. Now I am going to work on my compost bins.

I pulled weeds from the flower bed. Fed those to Rusty the rabbit. Got to show the 2 youngest grandsons the ducklings and garden. I planted some cactus plants and a spider plant into a pot and hopefully I can use the pots around the seating area with a water fountain I want to make. Wonderful cool but sunny and breezy day today.
