What did you do in your garden today?

Did nothing in the dirt but, looked at 2 seed sights. . NOW the adds showing on the site are -- veg seeds! What a challenge for buying what I don't need more of

Sat down with my Baker Creek Heirloom Seed catalog this morning with a hot cup of coffee. Wife insisted I order something, so I picked out about a half dozen things. Lol, radishes, onions, and cabbage. My German roots are showing. Did check the every expanding contents of the seed box first.

Need to figure out a low cost/maintenance option for keeping the deer out of some cucumbers and melons I really want to grow.

How about solar lights w/movement kick on?

They're pretty decent prices now. Of course, not all deer run from light. Maybe the motion activation would scare enough.

Went through my other recently arrived seed catalogs. Resisted the urge to splurge. Plenty to do already. The little watermelon like cukes might be good for pickling, but, as before, I need a containment strategy.

You all know where this is headed, right?

So far, no new catalogs here. Could be I ordered none to few last yr? After all, no garden happened. I did buy a few packs at Dollar Gen, end of this season, at $.05 a pkg-- long time seed, Detroit beets, some marigold, etc That's it for me. I plan to garden but, my seed box is into way more than I can plant Like me, they're getting older! So germination decreases but enough will start for a big garden, no doubts there.

I'm ready for spring -- not winter.

is there a ten step program for this???

Just ordered orange cunshaw squash seed. So pretty & I had none...couldn't help myself. BUT goats will eat all the squash I give them. Yes, it's animal feed!!! That's right - a purpose.

This week of almost spring weather is just calling me to start plants. I know not to but, it's so hard to control! Looking at boxes of seed, I also know they need to be planted with hopes of germination. Some are pretty old. Stored well but, old. I'm thinking this year is time to put out as many as I can, hoping for the best....feed to livestock if good results. Really, the stash is making me feel like a seed bank. Last years no garden didn't help. Lotsa empty canning jars.

That's just the veggie ones. I have forage seed, too.
Yep, a trunk full. Those will definitely get sown. Pasture renovation, over seed, whatever! That's gotta happen.
