What did you do in the garden today?

[CrealCritter]

I watched 6" of snow fall on my garden today. Does that count? . I have a thought time coping about now when you southerners are planting. I get jealous.

I have onion and celery seedlings in the window. I will start things started 6-8 weeks before last frost in the next two weeks.

Rain rain rain and yep you guessed it more rain. And what's forcast? What else... but more rain.

This has been one of the most unusually strange temperature "Springs" I've seen in years. Ya can't put the heavy jackets away, can't dress without many, many layers and don't leave the umbrella at home!! The roller coaster is depressing for getting started out there.

I am sue the peas can handle the snow, just don't think Tortoise really wants to....I sure don't!

I like the "old seeds for the chickens" planting. Hey, you can always transplant any plants that look promising. Sometimes the old seeds are good. I often spread them into a little patch of dirt to sprout -- if they still want -- then transplant. May get a few "free" plants. If not, oh well.

That's rough for ya'll. I couldn't do it...unless I lived there and I wouldn't have any choice I suppose, lol.

Slowly getting the little garden mulched. Hoping our drying trend gets ahead of the next rain chance which is Tues/Wed. I'd really like to get the big area leveled out and rowed up if possible before the storm. Doesn't leave me much time...and it's a race I might lose.

Seeds are sprouting, got a few tomatoes about to bloom. Things are rolling along!

Ohio weather has been flaky too.

Is that flaky as in weird or flaky as in snow?

We had snow in the forecast for today, but it's not cold enough (thank goodness for that!). I decided to wait another two weeks before I start planting seeds. I need to get the chickens sorted first anyway, or I'm not going to have a garden.

UGH on SNOW!

Weather wonky here too....one day this week is supposed to be up in the 70s, rain on and off, then patches of snow to happen this week too.

Peach trees are starting to bloom...hope they don't get frost burn from the weird weather.

When will summer come to the heartland? Rain rain rain / cold and more rain

My tomatoes and peppers are ready to be cut loose in the garden but you can't till mud and you can't harden them off with temps dropping below freezing at night.
