What did you do in the garden today?

[BReeder!]

Oh, NOOOOOOO!
Raspberries AND a trumpet vine!

Watch out, she may have her eye on some wisteria and Tree of Heaven!

That might make me reach the tipping point. I would spray enough horticultural vinegar through the fence to pickle her soil.

That looks REALLY good!

I am going to switch to regular frozen hamburger patties next week. I put different things on regular hamburgers, so it taste different. I'll probably switch to cold cuts and home made bread after that. That reminds me, I need to start some lettuce seeds for my sandwiches.

I've been hardening off the last of my tomato and pepper plants. Today they got a few hours of direct, hot sunshine. They also got buffeted around by the wind some. They didn't break, so it should strenghthen their stems.

Maybe tomorrow evening would be a good time to put them in the garden. I think they'll be able to handle what nature dishes out by then.

My plants have been outside for 5 days now. Tonight could get down to 39, but after that, I think (HOPE) we're done with those temps. Then I can get some stuff in the ground!

I've been holding off planting more onion sets, as I want to put them around the tomatoes, and I want to plant the tomatoes first.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Moms out there. Hope your day is full of relaxation and joy!

My newly planted trees and grape vines are starting to grow. Nothing from the newly planted raspberries yet. Did not rain overnight. Next chance this afternoon.

Good morning all. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms!!

Happy Mothers day to the moms!

My mom day gifts included chocolates (waiting until my cold is gone so I can taste them) and these:

Small notebooks, great quality. ( https://fieldnotesbrand.com/ ) Pencils and the top right item is a sticker that my teen claimed - all the rage to stick on the ChromeBook.

We've used Field Notes for many years, and it had been awhile since we had bought some.

Morning. Happy Mothers Day to the Moms! My chickens got me eggs & my dog, well, he might have forgotten...

My brand new pullets put themselves to bed last! Never seen anything like it.

Not much happening in the garden, I will water the newly placed cuke seeds. DH pulled the rhubarb flowers & some weeds for me in the garden. It's a bit late, but I will feed the rhubarb today. I lost a small blueberry bush this year.

I cannot figure out why my lettuce won't grow. It's driving me crazy. It sprouted & there they stay. 2 teeny little leaves the size of an eraser on each one. Pricy, organic raised bed soil new last year. A couple different packages/brands of seeds so it's not that, plus they sprouted. Any ideas? It's just lettuce & spring! It shouldn't be hard!

It's sprinkling here, good. Hope it rains while we're in church. If it doesn't I have to hook up the longer hose I just bought to the faucet on the side of the house, then run it around to the backyard and out to the gardens. I just didn't have much "oomph" yesterday afternoon, and didn't feel up to tackling the backyard faucet thread repair job.
