What did you do in your garden today?

[flowerbug]

we walked around and looked at the gardens and saw our first flowers (the short blue bulb irises). and then i did some weeding for a few minutes. i was very excited! nice sunny day and even fairly warm for the end of Feb. tomorrow's forecast is even warmer.

Wheels are still churning. I kinda want to do tomatoes for canning, thinking of a fourth bed.

I think that's a great idea!

Wow...sun is out! Ground is wet!! Rain last night.

So much I want to plant beyond the typical veggies to eat/can. Where to plant? How much? Will it work? Harvest issues, time issues, fence issues, pastures to work.

Yeah, lotta things this year beyond the table. I'm feeling anxious -- in more ways than one!

Sunny, warm on south side of house -- so put seeds into the starter packs I had filled ☺️ then into the little greenhouse thing -- which was noticeably warmer than outside it but, not hot. Now I have a start -- just hope I get some sprouts 😂. About 400 seed put in so should get something, eventually 🥴

Cabbages -- red, savoy, grn flat dutch
Tomatoes -- yellow plum, Cherokee purple, mtg lifter, another canner type, a red cherry & red paste
Peppers -- sweet, red, orange, black, green & Jalapeno, poblano
Cauliflower -- white, purple, yellow

Still eggplant to go. Most all else will be direct sow once it warms. Peas can go as soon as tilled, cooler ok😄. If I thought that was busy, wait until planting! 😳

Maybe I'll sleep better tonight! 🤞

Not much to do with the garden. We're under a blizzard watch until the 3rd. I was trying to thin out my carrots and just got frustrated so I said forget it and went out and pulled a bunch of stuff for the rabbits.

Looking -- thinking -- what variety of rice grows here

if you get upland types you can grow it anyplace with a long enough season... (just enabling...)

i went outside long enough to check the propane tank. that's not gardening, but at least it's in the right direction...
