What did you do in the garden today?

THIS is why I hate brome. Those white pointy root looking things? Those are called stolons, and are underground stems that can travel up to 3' or more, looking for a place to pop up a new plant. They don't pull up well in heavy soil. The plant breaks free, leaving those to keep growing. :mad:
 
More digging and weeding. And, I found asparagus beetles. I have never seen them this early. But everything is about 2 weeks ahead of normal, so I guess they are too.

Add another daily chore to my list: Debugging the asparagus. Yeah, I need another half hour chore to do. :rolleyes:
 
Transplanted a few leaf lettuce starts into the garden today. I was going to set out a few marigolds but I couldn't decide where to put them.

I also set up a temporary deer/chicken fence that will give the winter squash space to spread out over the side of the bed when they start vining.

That's the grass that invades my garden beds! And the pointy parts hurt if they poke you. I love it outside of my garden, though! It's so lush and soft!
