What did you do in your garden today?

[Dreamz]

Collecting branches and leaves to fill the raised beds. Seedlings are on their second day out. But might need to bring them in because it looks like it will begin raining soon. Corn is on a cardboard box and I cannot have a muddy mess in the living room

Raining and tired of going in and back out. Put leaves, limbs from trees and put the duck manure from their house. I will put more leaves and some straw before soil. I wonder if those worms they sell for bait can go in there. I will need a hanger or something because I am not going to touch that container nor the worms.

if you have worms around they will find that garden. you should not need to add any.

if you can pick your nose you can pick up a worm. just sayin'...

I should be picking Purple Dove beans soon. I see baby beans all over the plants!

I added more hay to the 'tater tubs. Transplanted a thornless blackberry. Watered and weeded...what else is new?

I don't have any. Not, sorry but since I grew up, I do not pick my nose.

Never have any luck with recao or culantro. So found a bag of 200 seeds and just put them lightly covered and put straw over them.

Planted some taters and think two are coming out,yeah!

Garlic keeps growing.

So are the bunching onions.

And the oregano came back all by itself,lol

And all the kids were outside as well.

I gave a woman seeds from my asparagus. These are from the plants that came up for her last year.

if you can wander around various places you can flip up a rock or piece of wood and likely find worms under it or in it. especially if it is damp. you should not have to buy worms.

the problem if you have chickens is that they are going to scratch and get rid of a lot of your worms if you don't have deep enough litter and enough protected places for them to hide from predation.

you can buy red wrigglers and other composting worms to put in your gardens but they will wander around and get eaten by the chickens too if given a chance to get out. so i keep worm buckets inside so that the birds and other predators cannot reduce the population until after i use them to fertilize the gardens. after that they are on their own (and a few do survive but it is only a fraction of a percent of what gets put into the garden).

i don't go out of my way to pick up the worms but they don't hurt or bite. i have large metal spoons (that you often see in food service trays) that i use to dig in the worm buckets when i need to add stuff to them. it's too hard on my hands to dig in them most of the time as it is also often too hard to dig in a garden with my hands (we have mostly clay subsoil) so i have my shovel, trowel, knife, hoe, cultivator, etc...
