What did you do in the garden today?

I finally got around to pruning back my herbs... thyme, tarragon, oregano, marjoram and chives. All but the marjoram are cold hardy here and survived last winter so I'll dig up and pot one of the marjoram plants. I'll also put one each of thyme, oregano and chives in pots too and set them all on the sill of my south facing living room window for the winter. It'll be an indoor herb garden!

With the gardening pretty much wound down I'm starting to get lazy which is kind of nice for a change.

I waste a lot of water with my waterfowl. I think I should plant a fruit tree that loves water and plenty of sun. wind resistant too. zone 9a (summer very hot). any idea?

Supposed to be getting a few days of rain. Hopefully that will stop the leaves from blowing off the garden boxes.

First flakes of snow are sticking to the car. Other than picking the chard -- really need to get off my butt and do that! -- it'll be an indoor project day.

I've opened up a few of the bean pods that I hoped to save for seed. I don't think the beans inside are fully matured, ie, viable. Still I learned an amazing lesson about keeping the plants from freezing with bed sheets!

Hallelujah! It’s actually raining. It just started about an hour ago but there are water droplets in the rain gauge already.

We're heading into the land of hard freeze tonight, below 22'F.
I'll grab the last of the fresh tarragon for the season and toss some alfalfa pellets out in the herb garden for the rabbit. (old softie that I am)
Friday, when the wind dies down (currently gusting over 50), I'll go out and add fresh alpaca manure to the tomato beds.
Stinging insect allergy appt was yesterday. I get to carry an epi from here on out in warm season for wasps/hornets/yellow jackets. I'm not hyper allergic yet, but she said with my weird reactions and all other allergies, it might only be a matter of time and I'm so far out in the country, it's better to have one than not. So.
I don't have to use it unless I get stung AND have a wild reaction, not just if I get stung.
Last of the respiratory/sinus thing is still holding on, but barely. I am OVER this.

I'm surprised you didn't have one already with your crazy reactions. I used to have such reactions to my allergy shots that they made me carry one, along with benadryl & prednisone & instructions on how & when to use.

First flakes of snow are sticking to the car. Other than picking the chard -- really need to get off my butt and do that! -- it'll be an indoor project day.

Jealous!

Hallelujah! It’s actually raining. It just started about an hour ago but there are water droplets in the rain gauge already.

I don't think I've ever been so excited to see rain. I'm happy for the firemen, they'll get a much needed break from all the fires.

Nothing happening in the garden, just enjoying the rain.
