What did you do in your garden today?

Dirty knees are a sign on good work outside

i use a ground pillow (or i'd bruise my knees). saves a lot of wear and tear and also dirty britches...

Tilling is the question. Do I want to or do I need to still have no answers,lol

my answer is the less i can dig (i don't own a tiller any more) the better. a stirup or scuffle hoe can do everything else i need if i don't have to bury anything. i can cover most of the gardens in a pretty short period of work if they are kept in decent condition. as long as the weeds don't get too big it works well. the harder grasses (like quack grass) are always the issue in some gardens and in other gardens i have to do close weeding because i don't want to remove certain plants, but for that i can often get it done quickly enough.

the largest garden i have three kinds of cover crops along the edges and everywhere they have filled in takes much less time to weed but it does have to be done, oh, and i also have to thin out some of the daffodils or they shade it too much.

The sheer amount of grass and weeds that grow in the garden just since october is insane here. So I have to till. Stuff does grow in winter here. When I burn anything, grass will start growing again in that spot in about 2-3 weeks.

Too low to the ground for me to be called raised,lol I think of raised when my back is still up- right,

Had a very bad anxiety most of today after really bad dream. Have all medics involved. Ozempic might be out soon if these dreams continue.

The comfrey I ordered should be here today. It's going in between the powerpole and gate. That spot is a pain to mow because it's sloped so I'll be happy with that.

Taters planted in the bed and lavender seeds sown in a pot. Was a beautiful afternoon

It rained, and rained. I took one step into the main garden and started sinking. Nope.

New greenhouse is up but not finished. Winecaps are coming up. Chickees pipping.

Replanted moschatas and pumpkins just before the rain started. Chickens winter food storage. I need to replant beans and corn as soon as the ground dries out enough.
