What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

I lost Angus, the baby of the lot only 8.5 years old, the mischievous one, who would drive all the others and us insane, bucking, fighting, chasing, un-tying my shoes and stealing my hats.
And Cosmo, my favorite, at 11 years old, who followed me around like a 220 pound puppy always looking for treats and scratches, or hanging out sunbathing and snoring.

Not that I don't enjoy the others, as they're ALL different, it's just not quite the same in the barn at the moment.

I am so sorry for your losses, @WthrLady. I'm sending you hugs.

Had to put 2 down. 4 remain, one of which might be mildly lame/limpy for life, but that's better than dead. So, so far....

sorry to hear that. are you going to get more alpacas?

It’s official; the garlic cloves I planted in a pot indoors are all dead.

No.

more snow, and temperatures dropped down to 10deg. Anyone have any experience with German blackberries? "Schwartzenbeeren".

I have a bunch of seriously eyed potatoes and I am still at least two more months away from daytime temperatures getting above 20 let alone night time temperatures so I can't plant these potato sprouts but I'm seriously considering bringing some of my potato bags inside with grow lights and doing indoor potatoes lol. Because they're red potatoes if I bury them this weekend they'll be ready for harvest by April/May and then I can just refill the bags when I do everything for my direct sewing in the spring and get a third harvest instead of just two on my season also I've noticed maybe its just around me but the quality of red potatos at the stores have sucked lately they all look old and all sprout within a couple days. I'm noticing it more and more the last few months, I miss my grown potatoes!

On that note I need to be better at succession planting/sowing when it comes to veg I use alot of so I can have a more consistent supply!
