What did you do in the garden today?

[Bonkerelli]

Didn't do anything in the garden today but yesterday I did. Put up a new fence, raked it out and planned it out. Started nearly all my seeds. Picking up a green house tomorrow and will start even more seeds.

Speaking of pressure cookers... I have the kind with a dial, like this:

I haven't had it checked for accuracy in years. I haven't used it in years, either. Where can I get it checked?

I don't think they will survive in foraging boxes. chickens will eat them before they get seeds.

I know, I plant to make it raised with hardware cloth about a foot or so above the ground. Maybe half a foot. That way the seeds will be protected. Though I don't know how taller millet gets, so it might not be the right kind of seed for my project.

Hello, new here to the thread! I’m out cleaning up the garden today and have a strawberry question. I don’t know what strawberries are supposed to look like through winter and early spring. Late fall my ducks thought they’d be a nice spot to lounge all day everyday and I’m worried they’ve killed them. We also have some big trees above and leaves were totally covering the strawberries going into winter and I just raked them off today. I’ll attach some photos from today, but what do you think? Will they come back ok or are they done for?

They look about like your pictures. Look for the little green sprouts in the middle of those mounds. If you don't see any little green, or reddish-green things, then they may have frozen/died/gotten ducked...? (You should probably keep the ducks away.)

And, welcome to the garden thread!

Gotten ducked I like that one

I’ll go check for these reddish-green things after I pick up the kids. We have a gate on the garden but my lovely children broke it after last garden season and since I was done with everything in the garden for the year I didn’t worry about it to much. But a new gate is on the to do list!

If you don't see anything growing, don't write them off just yet, but maybe think about where to get some more plants.
