What did you do in the garden today?

Wonderful idea adding them to a meal I am knee deep in my contest trying to get it tied up

I LOVE artichokes but they don't grow here too well I'm told, my friend tried and didn't have much success.

we have become big fans of Brussle sprouts here

DW is growing brussel sprouts and even the green Jays are looking at them she says. So it isn't purely a battle against the chicken.

Blech! Lol

Blech! Lol

I'm not a fan of brussel sprouts, but if they will grow I am totally a fan of that.

We got a hard freeze last night. The trees look like they are molting!!
I didn't make out to the garden today to check on the green beans. Guess that task will get moved to tomorrow. I did cut out some more invasives and did some more burning on that stubborn stump! Then I cleaned out the chicken coop ( after dark, so the girls were all upset with me!).
Now I need to finish up the pears. There isn't room for them in the refrigerator!
I'm thinking I will try to make a pear butter.

I was happy to see the sun today!

We had a good freeze last night too. Gonna wrap the run in plastic today. Then we have a dinner in NH tonight. Mmm, prime rib...

Good morning gardeners. That storm finally blew out of here late yesterday. It was tough to hang with the chickens while they played in the backyard. The wind was still a bit blustery. Surprisingly my hen who needed the new chicken saddle was almost cooperative while I removed the old one and put on the new one. The new one covers more area and fits much better. I picked the rest of my leeks yesterday. Next Spring I'll be starting them all inside early. Looking at the long range forecast it appears we may be in for two nights of temperatures in the teens at the end of next week. Oh wow, it's a bit early for that. I wanted to wait until December before wrapping the coop, but I'm thinking I may need to do it sooner. At least the skies have cleared and we have a few sunny days to work on outside chores. That must be some mighty fine prime rib @Sueby to travel that far for a meal. LOL! Let us know how your green beans fared through the cold temps @karenerwin. Have a great day everyone.
