What did you do in the garden today?

[CatInTheHenHouse]

Got my potatoes in today! And threw in some old onion seeds, if they sprout they sprout, if not it’s not going to hurt anything.

Went camping for the weekend. Came back and the garden looks good except for a few weeds. I forgot to plant greenbeans on Friday that I started soaking on Thursday. The bowl was out of water (only filled it to cover the seeds) but the beans were still wet and plump. Some just began to sprout even. I gently planted them in the garden. Fingers crossed they grow - people start seeds in paper towel and plant them and they grow, so why shouldn't these?

So, I had a sugar free redbull for the first time in probably 10 years. Can you tell? Sheesh. it wore off; I'm burned.

The new liner. Tomorrow it gets formed out. I am so happy it's up already; I was so worried we wouldn't get it up before it got warm outside.

Eggs are out of the freeze dryer and packaged. @TJAnonymous they are just as weird and rubbery as I remember from camping days. BUT, a HUGE BUT, they taste amazing. There is just no way around rubbery eggs, the FDrying process busts the air cells and the heat portion tightens up that protein strands configuration.
These are already cooked eggs - plain. I'm going to try egg salad tomorrow - treating them like boiled eggs. The bread should distract from the texture.
Next egg batch will be smaller and I'll do raw eggs for baking.
Cooking rehydrated raw egg still gets you rubbery eggs, but like I said the flavor of farm eggs over commercial freeze dried eggs is night and day.

Next batch of stuff is Cincinnati chili.

Next batch of stuff is Cincinnati chili.

Freeze dried? Assume the Cincinnati chili sauce with meat? Mmm… I like Cincinnati chili!

I would like to grow something there, to use as a screen, but the area is under a pine and a cedar, so doesn't get full sun.

My yard is an ongoing project...

is there any shade loving plant/shrub that you can grow there?

Those little tomatoes almost a carrot orange...my neighbor grew some that resembles them last year & shared. They were little but oh so flavorful! I was popping them in my mouth like grapes every day, so darn delicious . I saved seeds from them & have sprouted them. I cannot wait til I have tomatoes this year, growing 4 types. I have no idea what the name of these little orange buggers are, she can't recall, but they are wonderful! Think of tomato with sweet & tart, just the right balance to wake up your tastebuds, the essence of a fresh summer garden that leaves ya wanting more. For me they were so awesome & travel well in a baggie to the jobsites, yum!

What the heck is going on with weather? Seriously...Saturday was 40 degrees, super windy, (felt like 30 degrees) cold, wet, I had my full winter gear on. Then we are gonna get up to nearly 90 degrees again Wednesday? WEIRD!

It is just bizarre to me...wanting hot crock pot meals wearing full winter clothing...then mere days later back to sunscreen & t-shirt & sweating. I guess I gotta keep an assortment of clothes in the truck with me lol.

I did a million, billion things outside today, but most of all I finished a project that's been on my punch list for 9.5 years. The zero turn was eating away the dirt below this tree I planted and nothing would grow there anymore and it was starting to erode. I FINALLY dug a tree ring and put in stone, all with proper underlay, drainage etc. The mulch looks weird because of the angle of the hill and where I chose to stand to take the photo. It's not heaped like it appears.

4 hours, one of which was a quick run to the city and back to grab 8 more stones and 8 bags of mulch. Yes, it's a LARGE area.

That looks great!
