What Did You Do In Your Garden Today?

Raining cats n dogs here right now, probably will be for another 24 hours or more.

Today I'll probably only be able to go out to do a little tying up on the netting, but I'll get at least that section in the back and maybe some in the front section, maybe cutting the 3 or 4 pieces of chicken wire reinforcements for where the top of the posts tear the netting.

We really do need the rain here though, so it is all good, providing they raised the gates on the dam. If they didn't do that I may have to call it in to the bigwigs at the water control boards.
 
No time to do anything outside today, but I think that I'm going to be 'up potting' (is that the right phrase?) some of my indoor garden. I'll post some pictures later, but I think that my sprouted corn needs to be deeper. Many of them keep falling over already :barnie
Also, the sun flowers that have been going outside each afternoon will probably head on out for good this weekend.
My peppers aren't doing much at all ... ? Still just little bitty things. And none of the greens (spinach and cabbage) have done much. I'll post some picts of them too tonight. :hu
 
Uppotting is the exact word for it.

SeedCorn is right, need to plant the Corn seeds deeper. He'd be the one to ask if they can be transplanted deeper to make up for it.
 
Spring finally decided to SHOW UP today. :coolsun

I harvested the last of my winter carrots, planted a pound and a half of yellow and red onions, peas, bok choi and lettuce. Also mapped out the perimeter of my front flowerbed/landscaping.

It felt so good to get my hands in the DIRT today! :tools
 
If fiddling around trying to cover a piece of it with a hoop house counts, I did that again :rolleyes:.

While waiting out the snow storm, I sent an email to one of the property owners of a place where I have a garden. Said I'd like to come by and talk to him about using the ground again this year. I don't think there will be a problem. I've been there for over a decade :P.

I actually predate him living there . . . :). He told me at the end of last season that "we like having you here." I was stunned! His father might have said something like that to me while he had rental tenants in the house. I didn't expect something like that from the son . . . I think his girlfriend likes me :cool:.

Careful with the goopp owner's girlfriend Digit.

hopefully you'll never have to thank me for that advice.

typed in some other stuff but backspaced it out...it's all basically there with the "careful with someone's girlfriend" one of those unwritten but general rules of life that's right next to the one about never crashing head on into a cement truck...
 
No problem with any of that.

I'd be doing the backspacing in real life.

Since she is a stay at home grandmother . . . it may be nice to have someone stumbling around out in the yard on a very frequent but regular schedule, while she stays comfortably behind four of the most terrifying tiny dogs imaginable! I only get along well with the smallest, very most terrifying. She is the lone female and her boyfriends are absolutely vicious! Fortunately for me, she bites them and not me!

Wellp, someone's girlfriend and being careful, and vicious toebiting doggies as a highlight...

I am very close to being done with round one of the netting, and actually over half done with round 2 also since I did some round 2 while doing round 1.

We also had a couple of very productive work parties this weekend. Burned a lot of leaves...this is a forest...and split a lot of wood.
 
Yesterday was partly sunny and I got about 8 feet of my dry creek bed boulders in. Only about another 150' to go!
Today I cleaned one perennial bed up. Sunny beautiful day, it was wonderful to be out there in it.

On the veg garden front I watched my seedlings grow in their little pots. :)
