Apparently, it has had striped pups before... Another haircut and 60 pups given away. 7 striped kept bc I thought I never had any before.... Three biggest got planted tonight. Yes, that's an old freezer bin. Lol. Planters are either the wrong size or hella expensive, so, repurposing! Rest...

Hot out!

It's been 3 weeks. It's snow and then slush on top.

55.6F and the ice is still here 😭 I don't think I've ever seen snow last this long! Am I still in Virginia?!? If there's still snow after today, hell has definitely frozen over...

Okay. Last year, I started way too early. The table & supplies + the seeds. Waiting for the end of February this time. Looks like I started them mid Feb last year, and that was a bit early. There's nothing but ice outside, so I can't start anything with the garden yet either!

The 🤬 sheep ate all of my trees! Ewes got thrown into a pen. I'll be redoing fencing in the spring.

Ordered more planters. Two will be for the bulbs I got that are the ball thingies and for some of the bulbs DH got for w/e reason.

Oh....I knew I forgot some lily plants! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Hot day. Got 4 beds done. 6 more to go! Gladiolus all dug up, new dirt filled to brim, planted back in. Same with the lilies in the round ones. *phew*

Not at all how I was imagining the A. Saying toblerone or long pyramid would of been far more accurate. Lol

So cute how taters grow! the last of the tomatoes ripening before going to the chickens. They're currently arguing with the last of the peppers.

Plucked the driveway marigold Huh, almost no roots...yet the best growing........

Well, I dug up my potatoes 🥔 Bought a small seed bag, cut and put in layers into three 30 gallon grow bags. The dirt remained soft and fluffy all the way to about the last 3-5in at the base, then it was more compact with no taters. Will add rabbit manure and then they'll be ready for new...

Man, I learned about fridge pickles near the end of making a ton of WB pickles, and I swore off water bath canning them! 1.5 years and fridge pickles are crisp and perfect. I think I might try making flakes sooner than trying to can them. But we'll see.

Interesting. Never heard of that.

Well....yeah. idk what to do.... First floor- Laundry room/mudroom, AC vent closed off, door mostly closed. Too hot for storage, but fine for curing. Crawlspace 4ft into the dirt on one side, zero on the opposite. Probably humid enough, but on a 65F morning, it is 61F inside. no clue how...

Last year, my crawlspace failed as storage, many potatoes started to mold and rot, fast. I still have survivors in a drawer in my fridge! DH hates that. Googled how to store them, yet again, and I really don't understand how a regular person in a modern house can create all of these...

Ugh, gotta dig out dirt to be able to fit in the irises....Was hoping it settled enough that I could just add on top. Ordered some beefsteak tomato seeds and cotton seeds for next year!

Still waiting for plants to die back....Some did, but not enough of them. Going to be 78F, supposedly. I'm thinking of just digging them up and moving today regardless. I don't want to be freezing while moving plants...

What happens to a pepper left to rot? Innards liquify, skin stays behind and sun bleaches. Fun.
