What did you do in your garden today?

I pulled a few Easter bunny snacks!

Rained and snowed on. Again. In no particular order and mixed. Again. This weird weather we've had the last two weeks is supposed to be ending and returning us to our regularly scheduled rain.

Did those overwinter????????

I am really thinking... wondering...

Maybe I can dig an in ground greenhouse this summer... it has finally dawned on me how I can make it work...

The limiting factor was the entrance with all of my snow... but I think I have that figured out now...

@frustratedearthmother those are pretty carrots! Does the pink go all the way thru?

Saw some dark, almost purple, in a catalogue. Nice size and form on them, too.

Those are probably some of the nicest carrots I've ever grown. In the past I've always grown Danvers Half-Long thinking our soil wasn't soft enough for a full-sized carrot. But, I think I was wrong, lol. Those carrots were from a package of rainbow carrot seeds. The color is all the way through and they are mighty tasty! I'll definitely plant them again.

I've seen those seed ads. Never tried. Yeah, lotta Danvers here to use up! I never thought soil was too hard for them to grow -- more like too tight to give them back!

With our lumpy clay I had my doubts. These were in a place that was formerly a raised bed. Over time that bed isn't really raised anymore, lol. But, I did have to water it thoroughly to get those carrots outta the ground for sure! We are in a severe drought here. Happens so rarely here, but we've got it now.

They look like Atomic Red which are a mild, great pull and eat carrot.

I think I am going to have to grow lima beans. In all my life, I never have. Any advice or suggestions?
