What did you do in the garden today?

[Happy hen lover]

Got my spraying done before the strong winds started . Here is a pic of a hack this old man uses on a tank sprayer . Too much pumping . So I install a tire valve . The kind that has a threaded stem . Drill a hole and install . Air it up with a compressor . The pop off protects from over filling air . View attachment 2636166

Ingenious ! I am impressed.

Picked up some inexpensive seeds and tomato cages at dollar tree. Needed something to hold up a couple weak irises that keep falling over. And seeds were 4 for $1...soo...

Still waging war on the ivy. Pulled some other weeds. Admired the fact I have NOT managed to kill my miniature roses yet. That's about it!

You really have a nice space there!

A lot of hard work... It's incredible how many hours I've spent in that garden this year already. Last year I had grand plans but less time and things didn't quite come together. This year it better produce, and I mean PRODUCE.

I am not sleeping much. I slept in and then laid down again for a bit because I didn't feel well. I'm still dealing with a sore throat, but I'm wide awake now after all the extra rest this morning. So I went ahead and up potted zucchini, winter pumpkins, butternut squash, one of the sugar pumpkins, half straight eight cucumbers and half the pickle cucumbers (the other half of the cucumbers were planted a few days late). I need to get sunflowers, basil and oregano transplanted outside ASAP, probably tomorrow some time. A bunch of peppers are ready to go out as well, but I'm waiting until the weekend for those.

I have just checked the soaked old seeds. mung beans started to sprout and turtle beans might sprout too. unfortunately that's all. I am off to garden to plant those sprouted seeds.

does anyone know what the purple flower is?

OMG this stuff drives me insane! It's everywhere here. I spend my days digging it up.

Apparently some people think it good for medicinal purposes & others think it will poison you.

Potting soil is MY glitter too! Especially the stuff that is out of my compost pile and full of chicken poop! So.... I make my own glitter.

I have to prepare a new garden plot (read: till, pick up big stones, fill with soil from another part of backyard, collect and spread rabbit manure and compost...)
