Im sorry to hear all this @baymule. I like to jab my Houston SIL; telling her “im sorry you live in such a hostile environment” while discussing winter weather that many times is worse than ours!
up here; the national news is now saying 4 dead and a million without power. I truly am sorry; and...
Ive never had much “in season time” for pot cleaning. Typically it’s a mid winter thing however; things are going pretty well this spring So i set up on this last batch and gave them all a shower.
Wow, Thanks @heirloomgal i think it’s probably the good Lord keeping me from looking like an idiot most of the time!
Now that i can see in the greenhouse a little vine dressing was productive. Getting to the end of start nursery too! Marigolds, Choc Mint, Zinnia’s and Lettuce Are all im moving...
Setting out this afternoon was a treat. Cool and breezy but spring is bursting all around us. Some birds are back, lot’s of Comfrey coming this week. Clearing out the greenhouse this coming week.
The very last patch of snow and the very first Asparagus. A new one for me “3lb. Can”, and these are just in their 2nd year. The remainder of the bed are 3-4 years old and will be along directly.
Many folks ignore “local materials” when considering yard art.
The ends of Beaver cut trees can be applied in a creative fashion and be the basis for any number of arrangements. Arranged ( helter skelter) as they would be in nature then plant flowers between them along with some river rock and...
Today Kale, Broccoli, Chard and some flowers went into beds. We had visible frost last bight but it appears to be behind us now and the things im setting out will take a little frost.
Im drowning in the Greenhouse! Until the 6ea-25gal pots go out it’s becoming a struggle. Looks kinda cool though...
Another group of Junior Poop Maker’s, learning the ropes!
We’ve had some freezing/near freezing nights lately but that should be about over. The hardening is going well and i intend to start setting out Broccoli, Kale and Chard in the next day or so!
While working on an outside irrigation connection this “Lawn Python” came right up where i was working and headed off to my left; down the bed! Im sure the .7in of rain we got last evening had a positive effect on my worms! I hate it when i see a Robin lift a big one, guess I'm kinda weird...
I’m happy to see some “boy” flowers in the summer squash and immediately put this one to good use.
Went over the beds with the Mantis, then smoothed them and am now waiting on some soil temp. This 10 -14 day cool/cloudy weather pattern is perfect for hardening, however; that will likely be...
Worked the compost over this morning, as i do every year; but today i took a few pictures to aid the story.
Each of these enclosures are 12 ft long and 6 ft deep. There’s 2 of them. A movable divider is used to further divide that space and i’ve settled on 5ft based on knowing what i’ll...
The peas move went well and the outside leg of the irrigation was commissioned so they’ll water daily. Moving these large pots in and out for hardening is too much work and a couple years ago i stumbled onto this which has worked well; so far. I always move them out on an overcast day and shove...
Frog legs must be an “acquired taste thing”, kinda had an off taste to me. They are a big hit at the state fair where more are probably bought on “a dare” than for culinary quality.
i’ve heard about the nerve twitch thing tossing them out of a pan but never seen it. No better than they are to...
