What did you do in the garden today?

I bought one called Clyde's. Inexpensive, slides out for your exact location and dates. I got mine direct they are on Amazon too.

Thanks. For anyone interested, I found this link for Clyde's Garden Planner. Here is a picture of what it is.

Overdid it yesterday. Tired. Trees planted. Still ripping out raspberries. Wild Asters in there also. They grow everywhere. Not sure which native species. Some are light blue and some are white.

I took a walk through the garden this morning and saw that a few of the peas I planted are coming up. I plucked out a few self seeded flat leaf parsley plants that were too close to the chives.

The tarragon plants died off above ground over the winter, but there are several tarragon plants coming up from the root systems. Oregano and thyme are so healthy I'm thinking they might end up needing to be moved.

I'm pretty sure that both of the rosemary plants I started from seed last spring died off completely over the winter. Dang!

Red kale, red leaf lettuce and bok choi plants are looking great, but the cabbage, broccoli and Brussels sprouts aren't looking too good so I'll probably pull them out.

The garlic and onion patches are looking great. I'm curious as to whether the artichoke plants survived the winter. If not, no biggie, because artichokes are my least favorite of all "vegetables". In other words, I think artichokes suck.

I put the big fountain together. It's solar and a heap of stuff I cobbled.
I then raked the whole corral of winter straw and ick, and then pitchforked it over the fence to be moved by tractor to the compost.4 cubic yards of heavy wet ick.
But it's done

We get native blue ones here.

The automatic watering barrel thingy we have for the chickens is kinda falling apart, it wasn't really made right and so is hard to service when needed. I'm trying to decide if I want to get it rebuilt or just use the simple 3 gallon basic waterer I use as emergency water. It has to have a level base and that's hard to manage with the girls out there digging to China.

My turkeys ate all the wild aster seeds. Now there are not any left in the poultry yard.

Our wild asters are purple with yellow centers.

Clumps of Asters. I looked up native asters and I may have Short's aster and white wood aster. I will replant these.
