What Did You Do In The Garden?

[ninnymary]

Today I planted an Early Girl, Berkeley Tie Dye, and of course a Japanese Black Triefle ( my favorite tomatoe ) Also planted a six-pack of Red Russian Kale, a s h s i t o pepper, and a japanese eggplant.

Pulled out my nasturtuim that was taking over everything. It was starting to cover my meyer lemon and Little Cado avocado too much. In it's place I planted a six-pack of the clumping kind of nasturtuim.

Haven't done a thing...snowed this week, so still got some cold temps going on. DID get the rest of my seeds in the mail!

And have sugar snap peas soaking as we speak. Gotta play some catch up, been dealing with parents' surgeries and such of late.

South pasture is now burdock free!!!!!
You don't get any pictures until I clean up the rest of the weeds AND the limbs that I have cut. I DID take "before" pictures last week for comparison. I still have other areas to clear, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel!!

Good for you Ducks! You've worked so hard. Now the trick is to stay on top of it each year, right?

Sunday I pruned the 2 new plum and four new apple trees then pulled back mulch and fertilized them. Also pruned the large apple tree and fertilized it also. Only have one more apple and a pear tree to prune and be done with pruning for this year. Also measured the enlarged garden for fencing this year. There still some snow in the garden but it should be gone in a week or so.

Does anybody know if you can over fertilize your fruit trees and lessen your harvest?

my guess is yes...

one reason i like to read up on things before i do something new is to make sure i don't make mistakes others have.

yay! cleaned most of the rest of the bean debris off the fence yesterday. was windy and a bit too cold so after a half hour of that i was done. but it was outside! *bounce bounce bounce*

flowers up, including short iris which are usually first. they may have been this year but i didn't get back there to look until yesterday. i have a temporary rock pile in the way of seeing them from here.

a nice soaking rain this morning. very much needed and am happy it arrived.
