What did you do in the garden today?

[Sally PB]

Same here. Total washout today, same tomorrow, plus high wind. Looking on the bright side: The peas and onion sets I planted will get a good drink to get growing.

So I did indoor stuff today, and have more planned for tomorrow.

55 mph winds meant cleaning the chicken run of all its winter crap was OFF the table.
I spent the day baking bread, and bread stuffs, and weaving, but my soul wasn't in it.
Heading for 90' on Sunday.
I need a cooler day with LIGHT winds from the North/NW/NE to clean the coop out.
So when that happens, I'm out there taking it to bare earth for a few days, then I'll put in more pine shavings to prevent flies.
Nothing but feeding seedlings and watering seed, and watering the herb garden going on.

Daikon update:

It's growing slowly. I watered the bucket well today with close to a gallon of water. I wanted the potting mix to get a good soaking.

Will the bucket drainage that I created with drain holes about an inch above the bottom of the bucket turn it into sort of a self watering bucket? There's room for water to pool in the bottom.

Yesterday I saw the first tomato seedlings in the green house. I haven't been up to visit them today; I'll go see them on Saturday.

Next week is going to be WAAAAY too warm. Several 70 degree days and nights in the 50s. The blueberry bushes and fruit trees are going to burst into bloom.

It is way too soon for them to be that far along. that they are going to be ok. I wish it were 3 weeks later in the season.

where abouts?

Nextdoor to @NewBoots. My aunt lives in Vancouver & my cousin lives up near Seattle - so doesn't really matter where, just close enough to have family sorta nearby! I've never lived anywhere but CT, it's so different & beautiful out there, who doesn't love pine trees & waterfalls! & cookies & no snakes, lol.

YAY!!!! Keep swinging @Sueby, we'll have my fantasy commune yet!


Ya know, I think that's part of why I love growing tomatoes so much, for a very small space, I get lots of canned goods.

Bless your heart for helping out a fellow creature! We only see garter snakes around here, a few big snakes to hunt the mice and rats would be great.

We NEVER get copperheads and while there are western rattlesnakes said to be in Oregon, at 70 yo, I've never ever seen one. Come to the PNW, we have cookies and practically no snakes!


This is about me, I've been trying to get everyone to move to the Oregon Coast so I can have my commune! Come to the Oregon Coast for the fishing, cool temperatures, and seashore, stay for the gardening!

It's funny, tomatoes are one thing I don't do much of. I can't grow enough to can all I need so I don't bother anymore - I just grow some snacking ones.

So yay - my GreenStalk section of the garden is all set up! DH only killed like 8 onions in the process. It's so annoying when they don't listen & think they know better.

Rain, rain & more rain. I think tomorrow I will watch movies allll day. Gotta start some eggplant tho, seeds just came in.

Neighbors caught a visitor last night. Yay. . He's big!

I am so not a pink girl, but I bet it would look great full of flowers!

I disagree.

I think the pink planter would take away from the beauty of the flowers. Black would be a better background for flowers, in my humble opinion.

But what do I know. I'm just an ignorant old ex-husband....

I agree. Black makes colors sing.

Though it might also heat up the soil too much....?
