What did you do in the garden today?

Today I weeded and set up some trenches for water among all my new green bean sprouts. While I was out there my neighbors and I compared our gardens and set up some nice squash trades - my zucchini for thier spaghetti squash.

I'm excited - hopefully my husband will grow an appetite for squash at some point

I made a cage for my two tomato plants that are next to each other and a wire trellis for my cucumbers and cantaloupe to climb on. I just have the trellis tied on to the ends of the beds for now but I will add some support boards once the plants get larger and need them. Also here is a pic of my strawberries they are starting to make fruit. See the creeping charlie in my strawberry bed. lol I will pluck it out.

Looks good! Should be a good producer.

I'm waaay behind. Today I mixed my fertilizer (the compost pile spent the winter on top of m garden, most was removed last weekend) into the soil and pulled out some rocks. I was also reminded what rubbish I am at driving a tractor

Next weekend will be smoothing everything out and possibly preparing the posts/skeleton for a hoop house! Woot, woot!

Too tired to do a bloomin' thing today. I'd like to--maybe later.

Cold and rainy this afternoon. First rain in a long while. YAY!!! Chicks moved out to grow out coop yesterday. Peas that were planted last Monday are just now sprouting. Surprising, since the soil is quite dry. Need to get some deer netting over the cattle panel fence around the garden. Waiting, not too patiently to see if my pear graft "took". Other fruit trees budding nicely.

Maine--when it's dry it's dry, but only until a Nor'Easter comes. So, I didn't get outside except to feed the chicks; but I did start some things inside: peppers, leeks, cilantro, lettuce. I am also pre-sprouting: beets, carrots, radishes, spinach and snow peas, some to see if the seed is still viable, all of it to see what it produces.

I'm in waiting mode. Some things are getting close to the table!! Bell peppers, jalapenos, Cherokee Purple, Roma and Better Boy tomatoes. Some random pepper and BOSS & dwarf sunflowers with Zinnias.
