What did you do in the garden today?

[Smokerbill]

I thought about pulling weeds but the dirt is still too wet. They pull easier when it's bone dry.

Checked the temperature of the chicken run compost pile. It's still running a little over 100°F.

Neighbor won’t plant his garden this year bc older (83?) , a little too hard. So my husband asked if he could till his garden bed and plant corn. Neighbor said yes! So I bought these to plant. Hope they are decent varieties.

We will also plant some cowpeas too - they gave me the last of their “purple hull peas” seeds, which are a variety of cowpeas.

I bought a roll of 3-inch plastic caution tape and tree glue from amazon to prevent ants from climbing up the tree.

In the cart now, thank you. Never had ants on anything but my peonies before and didn't worry about it. On my food? That's a different matter and I don't like to use any chemicals.

I got to design it all, if it comes today I will post a picture...

both varieties are fantastic.
Silver queen typically has small kernels that are packed with flavor.

I planted two varieties of cowpeas - purple hull and blackeye. I spent many a summer day shelling purple hull peas as a kid. Your neighbors reminded me that when we lived in a rental house while we were selling our old house and building our current one, we met our neighbors Bud and Joanne while th were out working an enormous garden. They were both 90!

BBT that is a fantastic gift - you have a great hubby.
I did nothing in the garden today - went to see how my 93yr old mum was doing. As long as I do that weekly she can keep living independently on her 1/4 acre. Then shopped, came home and caught up with all the neglected indoor chores.
