What did you do in the garden today?

Anyone had any advice for my carrots here. I know they need to be singles and I really rather not have to pull some but transfer them

Worked on this week's forecast and decided to pull myself together after paying the bills,putting dinner chicken in marinade, and having lunch and get to town and fill my old recycling bins I use for sweet potatoes with free soil from the county. Everything from there just cascaded into 5 hours of doing a lot.
Found more cells in the greenhouse- YAY!
Added another bolt hinge to the polytunnel door to keep it from rattling - phew
Menards for odds and ends.- BLEH
Bungee cords on the patio chairs and hooked them to the table - about time!
Screwed the patio rug to the deck with washers - AUNTIE EM!
Made more seeding starter mix - SO much dirt.
Cut and attached vinyl lattice over the new coop door window - hail mitigation.

DH and I cleaned the garage this past weekend and we still cannot find the dead mouse. We think the one DH killed had a nest in the wall. P.U. STINKY!

FINALLY got the rest of my seed potatoes planted today (a month late....)! I also started putting down cardboard in the garden as a weed stop. For those of you who have used this method, what do you use to tack it down so it doesn't blow away? I'm currently using landscaping pins but I can easily see those will disintegrate or simply tear through the cardboard eventually.

I've just got landscaping stones here n there holding mine down.

I have mulch on top of mine.

I put a thick layer of wood chips on mine when it was first laid out. Three years later and the cardboard is long gone, the grass and weeds have filled in, and the chickens regularly unearth the tape that I was too lazy to remove from the cardboard before laying it all out.

Funny u should mention that...I just got done knit picking every tiny piece tape off a box that was extremely frustrating cuz it kept tearing in lil tiny pieces each time I'd pull! Lol

Had another cup of coffee and watched it snow..... Thursday forecast is 80. Ohio weather in spring is the worst.

I'll meet your Ohio (I grew up there), and raise you Nebraska, where we have all the joys of an Ohio Spring with the addition of wildfires, BIG wildfires.

I divide them when I transplant them without any problem.
