What did you do in your garden today?

ashes can now be taken off the TODO list. leaving me one small onion garden inside the fence to clean up. it may not happen until spring. completely weather related now for the rest of whatever else i can get done.

Good job!!

it feels good to have made it this far as i'm sure i would have heard comments from Mom about how untidy it looked out there. there's still a few rough spots but compared to where it was two months ago i made a lot of progress. it rained last night so i can read and relax today and get a few bean packages started so i may be able to get those mailed out this coming week. oh and i have one more momma spider to remove. i looked up yesterday and there it was with three egg sacs in a corner. at the moment Mom is napping so i can't do that yet, but when she gets up i'll get it done. the idea of all those eggs and little ones getting going, plus i have to make sure she doesn't escape into all the nearby decorations or heat duct...

only outdoor things yesterday were taking the trash out and setting the recycling bins so those could be emptied. all morning it snowed but the snow mostly was melted by evening. had to go out again and retrieve the recycle bins and empty the water from them and dump out some slimey lettuce trimmings on the weed pile.

indoor garden related things are going through the bean collection and packing up some for sending out. hope i can have those ready for Wednesday, but i'm not sure i'll get it all done. thank goodness both people are willing to take mixed samples or it would take me way too long.

Quiet day yesterday, weather warm!! So I did some garden planning, at least some overview of seeds on hand (almost a store full!) and what canned goods I have on hand. Tells me what I'm eating

I either need to consolidate or have a 3 acre plant

Just wanting to plant it "all" isn't productive. I'll narrow what I eat most, what will help feed animals and see how it goes. waiting this time of year is so, so hard. Tending over planting is, too.

My Facebook feed is now full of seed and plant porn. Must resist

Must resist

Resistance is futile - must plant and then plant more!
