What did you do in the garden today?

I watched my garlic get bigger and prayed the rain will stop soon!

My garlic is probably 6" tall already. It looks great! I've read that it can withstand some frost, which is good. We're forecast to get frost over the weekend.

One of my cherry trees has some flowers starting to open...

Beautiful Autumn days here so plenty of pruning and a bit of transplanting of agapanthus to a boarder alongside the gazebo to stop the Araucana girls from trenching all the soft soil away. Heavy branches are helping to further deter them.

My garlic has been in the ground since last October and some of the plants are over a foot tall now. The garlic remained green through a couple of snow storms and several days of temps in the teens. Didn't phase it!

Considering buying a freeze dryer. For those of you who have one, what brand do you have and is it worth the price?

Yea i wish i had one. The one I want is 2500

Yeah, I was looking at the Harvest Right. It's currently on sale for $2300 which is still pretty expensive. Might have to wait until the fall...or Black Friday.

Well, I've got the garden about 90% done... I got soil in the remaining raised beds. Seeded some St Johns Wort, Black Cumin, Zinnias, and more nasturtiums.

Also planted the new dahlia bulbs. I really wish the dahlias I planted last year had survived... They were so pretty... I'm not going to dig the new ones up this year. I'll over winter them in the soil. I only dug up the previous ones because the chickens decided to do a number on the bed they were in. The good news is that they can't get to the beds in the garden where I planted the new ones.

Oh yeah, the purslane has already sprouted! Two days! Wow....

I'd like a HR too. They have them at TSC, but I've been a email member of HR for a long time. They send out a heads up email for sales, and for sales on refurbs every couple of months. I just can't seem to pull the cord and jump.

The friendly ones are usually roos at my house.

I hope not. I ordered all females of each kind, and one male of the Marans. Nobody is perfect, though, and mistakes do happen. We shall see as they grow!

I hear you on that. I’m only planting cool hardy plants now. I’m holding my breath my peach tree doesn’t blossom for another week and hoping it doesn’t get as cold overnight.

One of my peach trees is beginning to blossom, even though I TOLD it to hold off... I bought it last year, so it's small enough that I could cover it to protect it from the cold temps we are expecting soon.
