What did you do in the garden today?

[Sueby]

Hey all. Rainy & windy here today so I'm going to chill out today & watch some movies. Of course that means we'll lose power, it's already flickered. Usually I can go out to the toter as it runs on solar, but we disconnected that all yesterday & covered it up. That's strike 2 - we are so gonna lose power!

My arms are sore from working the leaf blower yesterday.

Have a good day.

And of course the one day in a week that I'm thinking of moving dirt... it's super windy outside. I don't particularly want to wear it, eat it, or dig it out of my eyes...

Well, it was sunny for a while. Now it's cloudy, windy, rainy, and the rain is trying to get solider. There goes all my motivation for getting anything done outside.

I wish I'd get the new Baker Creek catalog to browse. It's not the same looking online.

I got a new great grandson last night (#2)! I have pledged to fix a small hole and discoloration in the ceiling from were there was a leak before the new roof was installed. So today that is priority on my task list. I check the garden most every day even if I don't work in it. Usually, that means I do some work in it every day upon looking at the needs, either I intended to or not! Probably will pick some turnips, collards and mustard for dinner tonight. I am about to find the sheet rock mud and the paint in the mess that is my garage right now! I hope. My young pullets all laid an egg yesterday for the first time , 18 eggs! I have been averaging a dozen per day for over a week now. The size is increasing ,for some now are large, instead of medium. I too am increasing in size as I make rich pies and cakes, piled with merengue to use more eggs! All in all, I am greatly blessed this day!

@Birdsonghill Congratulations!

Snow is blowing sideways in the strong winds here!
Tried to start a fire in the fireplace and the whole house filled with smoke. I had to extinguish the fire and clear smoke out of the house. Now the house is freezing.
Damn sparrows must have blocked the pipe, stupid rats with wings.

Eh, managed two gorilla carts (the big one) full of dirt and then couldn't work up the umph to keep going. Plus, the toddler was losing his mind over dirt in his diaper, seemed like a good time to stop. Going to settle for house chores until either the wind dies down, I get the energy back to go do some more, or DH gets home.

Last night DH was griping about daylight savings because it's dark when he gets home now. So he donned his headlamp, built a small fire in the middle of the yard (which is packed gravel and sand) and built a garden box. I'm going to try to get it filled today, but I'm dealing with an annoying little health thing that produces flu-like body aches. Uphill battle today, folks. Also, forecast says 37 tonight. I might break out the frost cover just in case.

Yuck, hope you feel better soon!

Good afternoon everyone. Yesterday I cleaned out the big freezer and found some seeds.
Sweet peas, corn, some mixed flowers for year round color around a lamp post or mailbox, micro clover for a cover crop and some more carrots. Also more xeriscape grass seed. I forgot I had all that! I can’t wait to get a few things done this weekend. I have been doing things inside most of the week because of restrictions but should be all clear now. I did some research on how to propagate lilacs so that will be a project soon as well. Have a great afternoon all!
