What did you do in the garden today?

[BullChick]

I planted marigolds. Aren’t I adventurous?

Rain and wind today...

 

[NewBoots]

Had some thunder today, interspaced with sun, then rain, then hail, then sun... and it's still too freaking cold for here in April.

Eggs in the incubator are starting to peep! That is always like magic, until then, they are all just theoretical chicks. Kinda like Schrodinger's chicks.

Adding soil and pest moss to newly cleared area for partial shade garden. I dont know what to edge it with or even if I have too? I want to make my yard eventually into a food forest so I want it as natural as possible and nothing that is too heavy or has to be moved to work in the garden. Anyone got any good edible plant I could use as a border plant for zone 4?

collard tree?

yellow is fly's, etc favourite colour. I gave up yellow bed sheets, guess why (I air dry clothes.)

Worked on a new enclosure for my quails. Saw my dad planting the cucumbers that I grew.

Morning everyone.

Supposed to get some storms tonight, not as bad as everyone else that saw them come through tho. Hope everyone is ok!

Took a couple pics yesterday of everything coming to life:
Garlic looking good


Egyptian Walking Onions - I though half were dead & dried up but I think just about every one came up!


The strawberries are alive


Rhubarb in their FINAL, I SWEAR, resting place. That I have to makeshift fence outside the garden so the dog doesn't decapitate them with his run line because apparently THIS is the place to hang out if you're a dog.


The horseradish experiment gone wrong. Planted in a 5 gallon bucket to keep it from taking over, yet it's growing everywhere outside the bucket. Oh well.


The girls enjoying life after release from HPAI quarantine


Some little flowers that just pop up everywhere in the spring

@Sueby Love the chickens! So pretty. Your strawberries (all your plants actually) look amazing!

Leveled out the new bed some yesterday and the ground was wet from easier rain. Will add some garden soil and peat moss today. No clue what to edge with, any ideas anyone? Hoping for nice looking but cheap.

28 deg F and snow this morning, I just want to plant. Come on Mother Nature!!!!

We have near and slightly below freezing temps for several upcoming nights. All the tree/fruit blossoms are still tight little buds, so they're safe.

I got an email saying my purple potatoes are on their way. I only ordered 1 pound, just to try them out. If they do well and we like them, I'll be planting more next year.
