*phew* back breaking work! Dug up all of my daffodils! Planted one when we moved into the farmhouse. And today, dug up two rows of thick bulb clumps! I'd guess 200 bulbs? Idk. Went a bit dense at first, so half is full and rest not so much. But it's fine. Idk what these are, ditch lily or...

Should of covered that potted hedge when temps dipped to 27F...I covered the strawberries, though. Got 4 of the planters filled! Thank golly for tractors! Or I would of been moving dirt, literally, all day! Super heavy because of all of the rain. The hedge will go in here. Filling the 2nd...

This disaster area is still being dealt with, as you can see. So, I can't start filling these 4ft beds. I also have to redo the fence and add a 50ft privacy tarp, roughly centered behind them. It's to block sight be neighbors, but also to stop livestock from eating what's in the beds. The...

The earlier potted plants Husband bought a ton of raised metal beds. Then got 8 hostas. Idk why. I'm left to deal with it all. Decided to pot them for now, as getting the beds together and filled will take awhile. Idk anything about these. Any good info on them?

Have another 55gal blue barrel on the farm. Will hook it up to split the 10 trees into two groups of 5, one set for each of the two barrels. I need to time a barrel. Because I cannot find the water pressure on a standard 55gal barrel with a nozzle 1in off the bottom. So, my math could be off...

I don't celebrate holidays, but I decorate some of my house monthly, as its so dull and bare otherwise. Only Halloween gets outdoor decor. Also have driveway lights I change up. Little eggs are still in the mail, to add in the kitchen.

If the barrel holds 55gal. Dripper does half gal an hour. One dripper+one barrel lasts 4.5 days. But if there's a split in the hose, two drippers...then 2.25 days? And...10 trees=10 drippers. 11 hours for one barrel? Do they make slower drippers?? Refilling daily is a nono! 😭 Got 4 all ready to...

Strawberries growing, bush waking up. I've seen some posts lately that strawberries don't like containers, but they seem fine to me.

Potted, in covered cups, the 4 newer giants cuttings. Then remembered that the hedges are cold hardy...Put them outside. Slightly cleaner house now. Lol

Only carrot to put seeds in ground. I guess potatoes count as seeds. Zone 6b to 7a. Cauliflower, tomato, pepper, cukes to take outside as starts.

Some sites are saying to start seeds outside now. To move other plants out now. But frost will damage or kill them. So, gotta keep waiting, right? How do frost covers and such even work? Won't the crazy wind here make it useless?

Not another month!! I should of started them 3+ weeks later....

Hasn't been raining, so I've been watering.... Finally rained some tonight, not enough, but better than nothing.

I had cut the failed cuttings and dipped n cubed. Found roots today! At least 4 new trees to come! The other two. One is doing well with roots, other a bit slower. Once the veggies are outside, I'll be taking cuttings and getting lots of these going!!

More potted up, then some organization. Only 4 left to pot up when ready.

12 bins of dirt, nope, more needed! Maybe 12 more will be enough.

Got enough dirt for these darn holes!

Husband got these on Woot. Idk why... Then he got a few hostas and freesas. I ran out of dirt, so, had to rush and find some. Topsoil, compost mix, supposedly. Don't have enough rabbit manure, so hoping it is a mix. Does it look like 8 yards?? Everyone is interested in it.
