Good morning. It’s sunny, but 34 in my forgotten corner of Virginia. It’s supposed get up into the 60s for the weekend, but heavy rains are expected on Sunday.
We’ve been clearing out all kinds of stuff outside and sometimes I feel like the burn pile is a mile high. Unfortunately there is a burn ban in effect which prohibits burning until after 4pm. However it has been so bloody windy that there’s nothing we can do. SIGH
I would love to be on the ping list. :)
I started seeds in my Jiffy Greenhouse box yesterday afternoon. Snapdragons for the county fair, and borage and lavender for my garden.
The day before I prepped my front beds for this weekend’s mulching.
Please add me to your pingady ping ping list. thanks
I got my tomato seed in the seed trays last weekend and dug up one garden. My little tiller died a couple of years ago, so I have been renting the one at our local hardware store. Unfortunately, theirs did not run, so I dug up the soil with a fork. I have two 8’ X 20’ gardens, and will dig the other one this weekend. I have a 5 gallon bucket full of shallots that were fully grown. I also have one row of onions in the un dug garden that are about half grown.
My compost piles have been dumped into the gardens, along with some cow manure. I have several bags of leaves and lawn clippings that will be turned into compost. The garden has great soil now that all the organic matter has been added.
We dug up some elephant garlic at the farm, so I have those growing as well. I have never grown that, so will see how it does. My sister has been growing and using it for years, so it must be a great addition to gardens.
21F & light snow falling onto the 4-6” still on the ground from the 12+” of the last couple of weeks.
2 more months before we can even think about planting.
Please add me to your ping list.
Thanks
