What did you do in the garden today?

[Jenbirdee]

I watered, of course!

Due to the excessive rain we have been having since last year, my garden is over grown with this plant..I don't know the name.
My chickens eat them, I wonder if this is safe for chickens to eat?

Looks like it may be borage or mexican mint.

Thank you. My chickens eat them and they are very hard to remove as they have long sterms.
One good thing about them is that they smell really good.

I did a quick google and some returned that it is not good for chickens to eat anything that belong to the Mint family.

They will be removed

I moved some posts about 6" to get them closer to what they're there to support.

I had removed the mulch that was over the garlic and onions. We got a good soaking rain this morning, so I put it back now that the ground has been nicely watered.

Boy our ground/ forest dries out fast

A lot of work there, it looks good!

Thanks! It's good to have it done and out of the way. I'll need to drive some posts and rig up a 10 foot tall trellis for the beans too.

If I could figure out a way to make to top half of the trellis hinge down to horizontal it would be ideal for picking the beans, instead of climbing up and down a ladder.

I weeded the onions, shallots, beets and brassicas this afternoon. The brassica bed got a nice, green layer of grass clippings mulch.



Small plants are watercress.



Daikon radishes that probably won't do well. Supposed to be planted in the fall I think...



Bok choi...



Red Russian Kale from seeds I saved...



There are also Black Seeded Simpson leaf lettuce, cabbage, and collard green plants in the bed.

Sat on my lawnchair and watched the chooks, chooks did them same - sat on me and watched me - it still isn’t very warm, at least the grass isn’t growing… yet!
