6-7 weeks to Last Frost...YAY! Protected bulbs & iris coming up; the rest won’t be far behind. Time to give them a shot of food, and maybe divide & reset some of them.
Finished cleaning the beds, re-fertilizing, and replanting the Everlasting Onions. Put about 600 back into the beds, and brought 500 in the house, which are in the process of drying. 1,000 down 5-7,000 to go! (Anybody need/want any? FReep Mail me.)
Some will go to the Battle Mountain Humane Society to plant; they mentioned to us last night at a benefit dinner they would like some. They want to start a small market garden for some badly needed income.
Today, I got 5 85’ rows of the Sugar Snap peas planted; about 2/3 to 3/4 of the seed. I’ll save the rest for a later planting, or in case I need to replant.
Also got the main garden cleaned up & tilled. Discovered a 4X20 patch of wheat I had forgotten I put in last Fall: it was the ‘extra’ seed from planting the main plot.
All 50 of the Egyptian onions I rescued from the landfill last year are up & looking good. I’ll probably have to move them to a more convenient location; they got stuck in where they are by Hobson’s choice in mid season.
Sometime between now & Monday evening, I’ll find out if I have some chicks; or have just been keeping 19 rotten eggs warm. ;-’) That is in addition to however many are under a broody hen. I don’t know how many are under her, as she is serious about her job; I have the scabs to prove it
Holy cow. I’m impressed! We have some very accomplished gardeners here.
I have cleaned up some around the house and they are starting to come out and take over in the front beds and around the house.
I have no idea what they are, but my neighbor across the street is into the flowers etc... and she says they are pretty.
Meh... I can't eat 'em, so I don't care too much.
