What did you do in the garden today?
I kinda am. I get tired of dragging a cord everywhere, especially when I cut the clover.... The cord gets really gross and I have to get it all the way around the pool. Plus I swear, every time I mow out there a chicken poops on the cord and I get a nasty surprise when I roll it up. Honestly, I... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I'm mad about the mower mostly because I picked up a lot of dog poop, (I use a glove and bag it) so I spent half an hour prepping to mow when I could have done many other things. Yes, I needed to pick up poo, but it's been run over with the child's power wheels and is a pain to get out of the... -

Ha! I got it right! Ty. 😊 -
What did you do in the garden today?
See that's perfect for me. 4:45, my spouse is already out of bed on work days, I would get out of bed if I had light that early. I usually lay in bed until 5ish, gaining motivation to actually start the day. My boss says 5am doesn't exist. He's rarely in the office before 9. I can imagine... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Yeah I know it's "spring forward" and "fall back" but which one is standard vs daylight savings .... I have no idea. Lol. I've googled it before, but I don't care enough to look it up again. 😂 My plug in push mower died. I went to the garage, came back to the mower with a flat head and a... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I'm usually up at 5am. When the days are short, I get a little sick of waiting for the sun to come up and the dew to dry in the morning when I am ready to work outside. The clocks falling back will make my mornings more productive outside. My son gets really upset about my use of daylight. He... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I watered today. You guys talking about good country "old" music, made me get out the acoustic and practice "family tradition" by Hank Jr. Carrots are really starting to come up now. Not enough to take a photo of, you wouldn't be able to tell anything yet, but I can see em. 😂. Once you can... -

What did you do in the garden today?
I listen to, and enjoy, so many genres of music.... I listen to Spanish guitar sometimes when I can, Rush, or recently I've been listening to stuff like Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Taj, Deep Purple, that kinda stuff while I work. Listening to the epic drummers and fabulous bassist... -
What did you do in the garden today?
More carrots are sprouting. A few more peas. I dug some up to see what's going on, a good portion have rotted. I'll try to soak before sowing another round. Plus start some indoors. No reason not to. I'll start broccoli, cabbage and more leafy greens soon. -
What did you do in the garden today?
It is a lot of work. Harder than doing pecans that's for sure. If you still have walnut trees, I do hope that you are still harvesting the walnuts and selling them to at least help pay for the bags of prepared walnuts. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Congratulations on the job! Did I miss news of the interview and job starting? I started my lemongrass from shoots I got on Amazon 6 years ago. Nice!!! That's an epic drench. Very jealous. 😂 DS and I planted 230 cloves of garlic today. Did the sterilizing soak and fertilizer. Hopefully it... -
What did you do in the garden today?
It's supposed to be in the low 70s today and tomorrow. Then we're back to mid 80's into November.... 😑 Not amused. But it gives me time to direct sow seeds. No sign of frost in the forecast. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I put some coffee grounds in one of the beds today. Looked at the chicken run compost and decided to lock up my chickens for to next few days to make sure they aren't laying eggs in the yard. More peas are up. I need to sleep
