What did you do in your garden today?

[CrealCritter]

I think we might have good onions this year. That's the power of nitrogen (one tablespoon regular ammonia to 1 gallon of water), after they are established. And also sowing seeds in the winter that is the right type for your zone. Sweet Spanish transplants that I start from seed, has yet to let me down, when I care for them correctly.

Green beans all mulched in with hay, shouldn't be complaining anymore with the rain we are getting \o/

Potatoes should also be happy now also. A good flooding is just what they needed. My poor attempts at watering the garden are pathetic, compared to Almighty's water - Thank You Almighty!

And very happy that our rose of sharon trees, responded nicely to my pruning and the great rain with nice flower blooms.

It'll be several days before I can get back in the garden, but that's fine by me

Jesus is Lord and Christ

@CrealCritter they all look great. I wish I had a green thumb, lol I need to learn my timing. I got some heat mats. Maybe I can do some for next year in the right timing.

Morning bugs! So nice this morning on my neck of the city,lol
Temp is lovely 51, yey!
Noticed last night my girls needed water but needed to try to beat the drug addicts concert since had been on for the past week. Too loud and I live 5 miles from Rothbury, so the noise keeps me up at night. Took a sleeping pill to help. However, I still got woken up with the noise and bathroom breaks,argh!
Got up early, took care of me and headed outside. Watered everything and filled my girls water and feed.
Hub left while I was out back and waved at me. I knew I was going to have a gazillion voice messages from him once I was inside. Yeap! That man can't shut up and allow me to be at peace! I got the prized one of non stop talking,
Anyways, it seems like West Michigan will stay cooler today! Have a wonderful day yall! I got to get my last plants on the ground before they die in their tiny containers,lol

today will be watering and weeding again. it's a nicer routine than breaking dry clay clumps. maybe can get a start on a project, we'll see... the end of the driveway where we had the culvert replaced needs all that fixed up again so that's the first thing to get done somehow.

Do you think I can salvage these? It is head lettuce. The tag says at full sun. People say shadow. I have no clue, since I do not eat them at all. Please be patient with me,lol


Today I am supposed to receive a green house. It was 369 for ever but got message of price change and got it for 169. Hope it was a good deal. Debating where it will go. Shade, sun, close to garden, close to compost,?????


This is the left of the garden. I can move most of that, and hub the heavier when gets back from therapy this afternoon or tomorrow.

This is the right of the garden and in the back is what I call it compost area but really I just dump stuff in there,lol

Or on the other side under the oak and a pine tree.

Does cauliflower smells like burning plastic like broccoli does? Is it bitter or sweet?

@Dreamz for the lettuce, it might be getting to the point where it is too hot for it but you could put it in a pot where you can move to shade or inside if you want to try and keep it going. I always plant lettuce in an area that is considered full sun-6+ hrs of direct sun- but once it gets into July it is hard to keep it going until fall when it cools down again.

Like the hoop/greenhouse you have coming. I personally would put it where you have labelled as "left of the garden" but that is just my personal opinion.

Well, planted those lettuces,

And the last 4 marigolds right on the ground.


Then headed to tie the tomatoes and peppers and found a small plant with 2 growing and another small one with one. And another one with a flower.

Well lettuce is down but might be able to make it a canopy?

I really would like the green house on the left of the garden
