What Did You Do In The Garden?

Duck this stuff is great cheap and easy to use Home depot has it https://www.homedepot.com/p/Howard-16-oz-Golden-Oak-Wood-Finish-Restorer-RF3016/100592964

UPDATE: DD bought the restorer--only about $8 and this was the result:

She also used a beeswax to buff it, and it only took about an hour. She told me that there was no need to glue this. All of the pieces were cut and designed to fit together. Both DD's have put in "bragger's books", the ones that they have read and want to brag about it. It looks like it has always been there.

I cleaned out 2 more quart candle glass containers and have started red cabbage and pansy seeds in them. I can see two tiny onions in the first one. I will wait until the plants are up and look big enough to be picture worthy.

$8 and hour of sweat around here barrister bookcases go for $200 to $300 a unit !!! Great score PS love the bragger books

 

[Gardening with Rabbits]

I turned the dirt in the 10 x 8 box. Ground is not froze, but there was a lot of straw, leaves, rabbit manure. I raked off some of the leaves and straw and turned the rabbit manure in.

Unbelievably warm!

Over 50°f here and the warmest day since November ... and, here comes the rain!

I was out in the few beds here at home and only the top inch of soil wasn't frozen. I don't know how far down the frost goes but this hasn't been a very cold winter.

we've returned back to colder again, and a little snow, i wanted to get out and pull some old bean vines off the fence one warm day last week but it was too windy. yes, way too warm for winter, i'm glad to see snow again. if it stays too warm there is a risk that the fruit trees will bud out too early. that happened several years ago and almost everyone in the state lost their tree fruit crops from a later frost. i don't have any fruit trees, but the strawberries bloomed that year on Mar 11th, normal is late May or early June.

I have deliberately left my young peach tree tall bc for 2 years running a late frost has killed the lower buds.

Not frozen in zone 5?

Pulled all the carrots & prepped them for dehydrating. It was an outstanding crop this year as we got 3 meat tubs full!!! We'll keep what we think we'll use & give away the rest.

No frost damage there, @w_r_ranch . Nice!

Not frozen in zone 5

Two high temperature records were tied, yesterday. One was in Idaho, the other, Washington State - over 50°f.

There have been a few other records this winter, mostly to the west and nearer the Cascades. Those have had to do with rainfall at the lower elevations. In those mountains, there are avalanche alerts, right now. When this warmth moved in, one ski resort had 110mph winds at the summit ..!

More towards normal temperatures are supposed to be back by tomorrow but it may not be cold enuf to snow. Another drop or two of rain and all the snow will be gone outta my yard!
