What did you do in the garden today?

Morning Gardeners, it has gotten good and cold here but no snow as of right now .. but no idea of gardening yet

Rosemary you almost have to neglect. I almost killed mine with too much love.

Maybe that's why mine does so well. It's a shrubbery a good 3 feet across each way. I whack it back every now and then so it's not encroaching on the garden path too much.

Sage, on the other hand, I'm really good at killing sage. And lavender. The lavender is not much of a surprise, I suspect we're just really too hot and humid for it. But sage? Really? I guess it doesn't like the humidity either.

I used to kill lavender but I seem to have found one that I can keep. My Spanish lavender is on its second year now, yay! I put it with the rosemary and they seem compatible. I need to trim the rosemary this year or it’s going to bust out of the garden, approximately the same size as yours.
I’ve only grown ornamental sage, Texas sage I think which you also seem to have to almost ignore, Others I’ve killed lol.

It got bright and sunny, so I went up to the green house. SURPRISE! The spinach babies are ok! I made some mini green houses for them with plastic lids and bowls. But even the ones that didn't have that are fine.

Polar vortex making my joints ache too. I'm not even 30 yet! Why bodies gotta fall apart so fast!?

Getting ready to start 12 week plants but I have a wee problem. my celery is backordered and I forgot to order green onions so I have to go buy some (I have to go out for other things anyhow so it's not a big risk). So I don't have much to start and when only starting like 5 plants it's hard to be motivated.

I did clean my garage for the new rabbit hutch I'm building though.

Can you elaborate on "12 week plants"? Is that they take 12 weeks until harvest? It seems early still for Cleveland. Being in zone 5 myself, I haven't started anything but native flower seeds. Am I missing an opportunity to start more things already?

We planted some gb and tomatoes in the green house today

12 weeks before transplanting into the garden. Some plants like onions, leeks, celery, some herbs, grow real slow and can be started as early as 12 weeks before their planting date.

Turned the compost piles. Finished adding mulch to the artichoke bed. Finally finished taking down the old garden fence.
I also got a few more feet up of the fence for the new garden.View attachment 2523593View attachment 2523593View attachment 2523594View attachment 2523596View attachment 2523596View attachment 2523601View attachment 2523610
