What did you do in the garden today?

I just finished plowing roads. My own driveway is done, albeit sloppily. I might tackle it again later. Had another 2.7 this morning. Have I mentioned I'm sick of the snow and cold already?
Have one chicken feeling her age this morning, not sure she'll make it more than today.

It has been a rough start to cold and snow for us! Like whiplash! Beautiful weather then allll at once- awful. -4 degrees is the forecasted low Thursday. Gulp. My older gal who is in full molt will be spending couple days in the garage. Luckily, she doesn't mind and the others don't mind when she reappears.

While we are thrilled that the temp has dropped to the low 30s (Centigrade) after a couple of scorchers in the low 40s
Will go out and do some potting up that has been postponed, will water my poor wilting garden, will fill up the birdbath for the birds that are relying on it.

Icky weather incoming. I got myself in gear and put some leaves on most of the garden boxes. Hopefully the rain/snow mix will make sure they stick.

ya, and back to 45 next week.
I need to put the coats on the alpacas tomorrow. Not looking forward to it.

Good luck! I bet they look cute with their coats on.

I got my seed porn catalog from Baker Creek today and it's about time to order and plant onion seeds. BC customer service told me a few months ago that they don't guarantee that seeds will be for the 2026 season until sometime in December, and I don't want last year's onion seeds.

My garden is plugging along. I took a look at it today and out of the 90 garlic I planted only three or four haven't come up. While I was looking I noticed some movement out of the corner of my eye and it was in the grandkids' carrot patch.

I looked closer and saw that one of the carrot tops was shaking every few seconds. One of my voles was eating a nice meal of carrot for lunch. LOL

A few of my bok choi are bolting in spite of being planted in the fall which is OK because the bolting tops are good eating.

Need to start eating more kale and collards, and check the cabbage heads closer to see how they're doing, plus also dig around the tops of the daikon radish plants to see if the roots are big enough to pull and eat.

I don't like cold weather but now when you reminded me of 40 C and drought I feel better, lol.
