What did you do in the garden today?

Moving dirt in garden beds... and it's not the beast quality but is what we have and I need this hill gone anyway to plant my potatoes and squash in this area. I'll amend the top few inches with compost and peat moss, which should help. The clay is getting broken up by my mattock action and then mixed into soil as I shovel. It's crumbling nicely at least, so it should drain well.

Also, does anybody know what this bug is? It was just over an inch long.

I am very envious of y'all with the nice weather! But happy for you :love I can't wait to indulge in the sunshine!!

Got off "work-work" after 4 so not much productivity between my schedule and the weather. Supposed to get snow tonight and through Thursday. Joy of Joys :rant

I managed to work a bit in the greenhouse. Prepared the growing medium, then allocated to seedling containers (3 x 6) via flats. Then transferred the flats to the upstairs patio (enclosed) as I don't trust the chickens. I could easily see myself waking up in the morning and everything tipped over.

Also checked on some of my new babies on the downstairs patio. My "forget-me-not" seedlings are coming up slowly. Had to move strawberry, pepper, chili and tomato hopefuls to the upstairs patio. Don't know what's going on with my Dahlia but I see some hope.

So that's about it. Chickens are well, weather sucks, and I have Goulash simmering. I like to serve with Csipetke and a dry but sweet red.

Hugs and keep well!!! :hugs
 
I am obsessed with all of the garden and seedling pics. Makes me so happy in such a stressful time
