I have had my coffee and breakfast and the sun is shinning, but it is only 38 degrees. I am geting that exercise I said I wanted of taking plants in and out, but now I am running out of room. I left the marigolds out in the outside greenhouse and they did get frost bite. I am not sure how many I...

Another sunny day. It did get cool last night and we had to start another fire. We had about 2 nights without having to have a fire in the woodstove. It is 46 right now and could get to 55, but down to 29 tonight.

I wish they would be invasive here. lol They have popped up in strange places, but if I find them I dig them up and move them and sometimes they live. If I left them in the middle of the yard they would get mowed down. I threw so many seeds around last fall that they might look invasive this...

I bought seeds years ago and started them inside and for several years they were reseeding pretty good, but they kind of started getting thinned out and I let DD dig some up one year and she ended up with more than me, so last year I started more and got them in the ground pretty early, so I am...

I had my coffee and breakfast and the sun is shinning. It is 51 right now. I ordered a soil thermometer yesterday and it will get here tomorrow. I have a tray with cabbage that I started inside and I had taken them outside to the outside greenhouse awhile back and then it got colder so I...

I had my coffee and reading all kinds of gardening news. I am so confused with weather and normally I would not worry about planting things in April because my ground would never be ready, but I have the boxes filled and most of them are ready. I looked at when to plant by soil temperature and...

I am glad you are doing well, but I can imagine your best friend is the recliner. Having a good son is such a blessing.

I finished my coffee and breakfast and it is 60 degrees, but very cloudy. I am going out to do a little bit of raking and cleaning up in the yard. I have babysitting duties later today.

I had my coffee and i had to mail something this morning, so I wanted through the snow to the mailbox. We got a few inches and the sun is out today. My onions are outside in the greenhouse. I hope they are happy out there. I am not sure I am starting onions correctly or if it is I plant them...

I have been busy helping DD babysit. I have a lot of seedlings started and ordered more seeds. I am going to try celery again. I am going to order the cow manure and this year I am going to layer the grass clippings with manure. Have some pallets. When the leaves fall add some leaves, but a lot...

It made it to 45 today, but there was no sun. I moved some more of the manure to the boxes and I took all the dead branches out of the rosebushes. I saw that my chives I transplanted last year are growing and some walking onions that I had transplanted are growing. It was a little chilly, but...

DS put my metal boxes together and I carried them to the garden. I have 2 new ones for pole beans and one more that I am thinking of composting in. Probably plant a tomato at one end and compost in the other end. I am just not really sure how to compost anymore without the rabbits. I am...

Every time we dig or till we bring up huge rocks. I guess I could just get a shovel and turn all my dirt and get the garden turned and find rocks at the same time. LOL

I had my coffee and light breakfast of boiled eggs while watching gardening videos. I am trying to decide if I will order the big truckload of cow manure this year. DD and I might go together and split the cost. It is aged. DS is putting metal boxes together for me and next he will have to...

Me too. It looks easy to me, but then that is my young brain thinking. I am now wondering how many rocks DD and I will need and how far we have to haul the rocks. lol

I am still drinking coffee at the moment. It is raining a little outside. I think I will go start some coneflowers and hollyhocks seeds. DS and his wife found out they will be having a boy and his name will be Benjamin. He is due to arrive the first week of July. He might be a little...

I went out to the greenhouse outside and I think too warm with the door shut for the sweet peas. I have it open right now and I am going to leave it open all night. It was 30 something and now has warmed up to 48. That is outside temperature and not greenhouse temperature. The sweet peas shot...

I took the sweet peas, onions and cabbage outside to the plastic greenhouse. I think they will be okay. I have more seeds to start. I bought more potting soil today and I have seeds coming in the mail and I picked up some lupine seeds. I have a couple lupine that lived I started from seed a few...

I saved a bunch of cosmos from last year and marigold and I started some of the marigold and they sprouted and growing fine.

I have had coffee and breakfast. I just looked at my sweet pea seeds and I now have 11 up. A couple of them are going to have leaves open and I am readying that they should go outside in the greenhouse. I do not have a real greenhouse, but this is plastic over a frame with shelves. I read the...
