    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    Haha I do not feel so bad! I increased my kitchen garden to 2000 feet and finished the deer fencing today. But I do not have a tractor though you are making me want one very badly!

    Invasive Species by State

    It is not invasive, it is just really happy and you should ask why your other plants are simply not as excited?

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    I grabbed a roll of fence wire and a couple of bundles of T-posts for the garden expansion. And cat treats. I put out about 130lbs of 13-13-13 around a lot of plants. I hope it helps the recovery from the hard freeze so late in the year.

    My elderly neighbor (94) was very excited to tell me that when his gardener took up the strips of black weed cloth he had them install last year that nothing was left under them. Around here that means nutsedge too.

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    Iron leaf seeds are coming. You never could have convinced me that a cold snap would have produced this response but then it was a hard snap for us and there are so many of these pods now.

    Quotes and thoughts for the day

    So suspicions are possibly correct, there must be a very short, obviously invisible, debris devil hoisting sharp painful bits into your footwear.

    Quotes and thoughts for the day

    Is Satan the reason I get so many rocks and sharp bits in my shoes this time of year? My wife and I have agreed it is obviously shoe boulder season.

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    Looks like chard pie is on the way. Personaly I think that is the only reasonable use for the stuff but DW likes it other ways too. I got smart and did not plant as much this year.

    Weed love a little help

    Use little nitrogen and lots of P and K on the grass. Its like watching a glacier race but the dense grass root and solid nature of the resulting mat will be what those bloggers talk about with grass crowding out other plants.

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    It does not seem like it but with some late but hard frosts we have had a long cool spring here. Some years we can be in by March but not the last two so lazy gardening has been the best bet.
