What did you do in the garden today?

One of my lilacs has buds swelling. An old fashioned white. I have French hybrids also. I have Good King Henry seeds sprouted. I was told they need stratified. Apparently they just need cool to sprout.

Today, the pups got elevated cots from chewy for Elly (2/19) and Connor's (3/9) sixth birthdays. We put them together and found 4 shady locales to place them - one on the patio, one on the north side of the coop, and two to the east side of the raised garden beds.

Elly chose the grey one near the chicken coop right away and laid down like the lady she is. The boys, OTOH, wanted to see how much weight one could hold without ripping or collapsing. Apparently, the answer is at least 300 pounds.

chilly here. a friend of mine that was born here told me not to sow peas before the end of february. so I did it yesterday. most of brassicas and lettuce in my big (sunny) garden bolted. I need to grow them in my small backyard garden.
