What did you do in the garden today?

We're still doing battle with Anderson replacement windows.

You're the second person I've heard that had a really bad experience with them!

My brother is/was a builder. I asked him which company he prefers for windows and he said Pella.

If it helps, when I’m feeling too tired/drained I try to break it down into smaller steps and just do one of those steps on a given day. EX: Instead of pulling out the seed stuff, prepping the starting soil, planting and watering the seeds, I’ll just pull out the seed stuff on Day 1. I’ll prep the soil mix on Day 2. Etc.

Whether it helps or not, I hope you feel better!

Thank you. I will try to do it this way.

I finally processed all of the butternut squash we grew that we haven't eaten yet. Most of it went to the freezer, ate some for dinner!

Do they taste like pumpkins, I never tried them.

I need to get my seeds started but I just don't have enough energy or get up and go to make it there. I'm trying to figure out so much in my mind but it's just bringing me down instead of up. I will eventually get there.

I usually start to many seeds and don't want to kill any after nursing them, so I end up planting too many and can't take care of them like I would with less. My new motto is less is more. I planted only two cucumber vines this year and haven't strayed from my plan to alternate Alaskan fish fertilizer with Alaskan Bloom yet. I normally get sidetracked when I have too many plants to take care off.

It was me!!!

I have a lot of different books on pruning so it totally COULD have been me... Not trying to steal your recognition! I can barely remember what I did yesterday

Today I am going to try to get the henden/ garden shed set up for my plants. I'm going to start them later this week but I am going to do it in just really small steps and slowly. I hope nothing dies after I put it in the ground. I stopped starting my seeds because everything died after I put it in the garden.

Maybe try a smaller garden this year. It doesn’t have to be huge, just grow the things you want the most.

I haven’t done anything outside today,; it’s chilly, breezy and rained a little bit earlier. I made chili and we’re watching movies.

I still waiting for my arrow root and cassava seeds to sprout. I just got them from amazon and they both had very poor ratings. I am hoping for at least one of each. I'll give up after a month. Next time I will try the cuttings.
