What did you do in the garden today?

I forgot to post these pictures I took after removing the cover.

I *think* most of the blueberries and cherry blossoms are ok...

One more night to cover them. For the foreseeable future, anyway.

I finished the chicks' upgrade today.

Welcome to The Mini Coop:

(I did put something under the power strip so it isn't dangling.)
Upon finally moving in, the chicks immediately tested out their wings, and then the roosting bars! They then picked a spot in the back corner to scratch around. I think they are much happier!

Today, I decided to take down my generic Tycoon tomatoes in my DYI earth box. The generic seeds I got from amazon doesn't have the TYLCV virus resistance that I need to grow tomatoes in my yard. I can tell because the Tycoon seeds, I got from Reimer seeds had a green coating and they are not stunted like the generic uncoated seeds.

I ended up salt brining the green tomatoes that were on the vine. I am debating whether or not to add vinegar. I used 2 tsp of salt to 1 cup of water and each quart took about 5 cups of boiling salt water, so it kind of blanched everything in the Mason jar.

My fault entirely. I spent my day in abbreviation and acronym world, and it spilled over here.

Usually there are screw keyholes on the back of those power bars.

Everything's covered for one last (hopefully!!) night of frost.

We should have pickable asparagus in a few days!
