What did you do in the garden today?

[Molpet]

It was! It was a beautiful sunny day & it got a little chilly for a few minutes.

Too funny! I was so curious to see what the chickens would do - they kind of just hung around outside the coop like they do for the half hour before it's time to go in but we were only at 93% so it didn't get very dark.

Mine were in the shade and came out during it and then back to the shade lol

at 85% there was no shadow and we barely got darker.
The sun was fun to watch though as I was working on a shelving unit.
The science equipment picked it all up though. It's darker now with a few clouds than the actual eclipse.

I planted a row of Green Beauty peas and some Red Baron onion sets today. And I turned the compost pile.

We watch the eclipse with glasses. It didn't get that dark, as it was only 94% coverage.

I've been using SeedTime to help with the scheduling of everything, and that was SUPER helpful.

I just found out about SeedTime last night. Are you using the free version? I don't want to get into $10 per month subscriptions or anything like that.

I remember when you bought software and it was yours. I don't like have to "rent" software by the month with those subscriptions.

BTW, there is an option to pay for life-time access for $500.00. I think Dear Wife and I could probably buy a lifetime or our garden veggies at the store for that price. Anyways, it's the free version or bust for me.

Those were the good old days, huh?

It's a beautiful day in the 70s today. So tempted to put plants in the garden... no frost the rest of the week, but who knows what next week will bring.

 

[Sally PB]

Yeah, the only plants/seeds I'll put in the garden are cold hardy ones for another 6 weeks.

I want to plant out my spinach and kale seedlings. I need those pots for something else!

Wishing I had tractor. I want an 8n.

If anyone has an unwanted tractor, they can donate it to the "broke guy who needs a tractor foundation".

Put out some more wildflower seeds... I also fertilized my apple and hazelnut trees since we are in for a good soaking over the next few days.

BTW, I also captured a picture of the really weird shadows from the trees due to the eclipse. This is called the pinhole effect.


OK, off to grab my laptop so I can share my Garden Excel file.
