What did you do in your garden today?

Green beans need warmer soil temperature. I plant them 3-4 weeks after everything else

I have baby lima beans for the wife ready to go.

Second day of bright sunshine. Things are starting to pop. The transplanted tomatoes are looking really good to me. Dark green and robust

One unplanted and uncaged bed had deer tracks in it. Lol. The danger is real

@flowerbug where can i find pelt and millet?
found a recipe for Ezequiel bread,lol

Our local grocery that has bulk sells both. Yes they can be sprouted usually so could be planted. Otherwise Id try a health food store. Bobs Red Mill probably carries both in their products so at worst check Amazon.

Im not sure about growing grain on small plots for human use. Ive only grown millet for the silkies as a treat at they are happy to pick the seeds off the spray. Just seems that space would be more efficiently used for other plants that give more value for space used when I know I can buy the grain.

I will grow buckwheat as a cover crop again. Collecting seed is a bit of a hassle, though, because of how the seed ripens.

Hope they do well for you (and her)! We love Lima's and I've never had luck with them...

I truly believe I was trying to kill me 😵‍💫😁. My back just said "no more!". So, I'm inside where it's cool. 6 hrs is enough. But planted potatoes, corn, beans, squashes, eggplant, pepper plants, tomato plants, radish, beets, onions, and ??? I'm not half done. And more than one type of each 🙄

I watered in the plants, last thing. Body says cardboard & mulch will have to wait, along with posts & CPs for tomatoes & other climbers.

I'm dirty, tired and possibly crazy. 🤣

HA! I think we all are or we wouldn't do this stuff, lol!

Congrats on getting a lot done!

@FarmerJamie are you allowed to have electric fencing where you are?

I have done nothing in my garden today. Yet.

At Winco I got seeds for homemade Mounds bars. Haven't planted them yet. 🙃

I'm doing grain cover crops for the chickens, let them harvest and then mow it all down in the spring.
