Got the last bucket filled. I put my 2 hot peppers(serrano and Tai), I also added the poblano and added spinach and lemon balm.
What did you do in your garden today?

DH asked me when the radishes would be ready. Oops! Totally forgot... Stuck seeds in the ground today.

The son in law and I moved the buckets and planters back to make more room for the rest of whatever my crazy azz decides to get planted

We ordered 4 yards of a 2 way mix for my raised beds. Hubs and son moved all that dirt into my garden area and then shoveled most of it into all the beds. I'll side dress with purchased steer manure and home made compost, which by the way, was full of wonderful earth worms!!

People work hard to keep grass out of their asparagus beds. The asparagus doesn't care.

Recently I had a weak moment and bought a "crop cover" to try, once again, to grow some bug free tomatoes. I wanted to get it assembled and into place today, so I got started on it. It wasn't terribly hard to put together, even though I wonder about its sturdiness. Time will tell, I guess.
So:
Step one - put the frame together.
Step two - plant tomatoes inside frame before putting the screen cover on.
Step three - Mulch tomatoes before putting the screen cover on. (this step requires bringing in a large quantity of hay from the barnyard and using the garden cart to transport it)
Step four - had to shovel out the load of wet dirt that was residing in the cart waiting to be unloaded.
Step 5 - rest! Wet dirt is heavy!
Step 6 - gathered hay and filled cart
Step 7 - milked while I was out there
Step 8 - brought hay and milk into garden area
Step 9 - brought milk into house to strain and refrigerate
All that was just to work on the crop cover and get tomatoes in the ground. Geeze Louise! Still not finished. Gonna guzzle some liquid and then get that tomato bed mulched
Step 10 - Get the screen cover on
Step 11 - Get the crop cover tied down
