What did you do in the garden today?

[Studius Eggus]

I harvested collard greens, rosemary, oregano, and green onions.
Now I have lots of space and contemplating what delicious treats to grow.
My little chickies are going to love their collard breakfast in the morning.

Lg aint that the truth!
I have to use a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water and spray it on before I go out.
Or skin so soft if I'm going to be outside very long. They drive me crazy!
Plus I use a butter lid on my cup or glass so they don't get in my drink!

They usually don't drink that much LOL. My granddaughter and I transplanted some cabbage plants this evening.

I weeded and fixed a few problem areas in both raised beds. My snap peas are flowering as are some of my tomato plants. I can't seem to get broccoli to grow in my bed. The seedlings keep disappearing, so something is really eating on it. I interplanted the shrimpy seedlings that were left with bell pepper seedlings and bush bean seed. If I don't get broccoli, at least I'll have those.

I put chopped onion on beds where i have bug issues. Seems to help.

really red or white does it make a difference ?

Poking around in the garden, marked out where the new beds are going to be. My Caucasian Mountain Spinach is coming back like gang busters. Also have some shallots coming back, as well as some that I dug last fall to replant. Garlic is looking awesome. Peas that were planted on Sat and Sun are now sprouting.

I never tried red but it doubt it would matter. If i chop up peppers and have left overs, i use them too.

My chopped onions and peppers go in the freezer. Any time I cut a pepper, If I don't anticipate using the rest of it right away, I simply slice it into 4 - 5 "planks" and pop it into a snack sized zip lock. It's real handy to have those frozen peppers when pizza night rolls around! I bet you could also use chopped garlic leaves, scapes, and onion tops to accomplish the same thing for pest deterrent without sacrificing the veggie use in your kitchen. You could also blend up the end nubs and dump them over your flower beds, or make a spray out of the resultant juice to spray your crops.

Came home from work to lots of sunflower sprouts. Zucchini sprouts and potato sprouts. FINALLY!! Planted 2 more potatoes. Now to bed. When it comes to veggie plants so many things your not supposed to plant near potato. Does that count if you grow them in a bucket? Oh beet sprouts too

I also cut up and freeze my onion, peppers and celery for easy use.
