What did you do in the garden today?

Taking a break, my body is not used to sun and warmer temperatures (mid 70s).

This is fully rotted compost, what is underneath my composting leaf piles. It's not dirt, because we have yellow clay.

This is my Summer squash bed, fully amended today, and ready to plant.

Planted the persimmon seedlings. Easy with the bulb auger on a cordless drill. I noticed skeeter wigglers in a neglected bucket. Scooped them out with the aquarium net. Fed them to the guppies. Glass top on aquarium so no escapes into the house.

I did this same thing on Tuesday! The guppy food I mean.

Hopefully the persimmons take off for you.

10 quart pot of turnip greens cooking. Turns out the overwintered turnips have good tasting new growth. Going to freeze some.

I put the grandkids garden back together. Then I took a walk about on the slope. It looks like Spring is finally coming. I found this little surprise. It must have been planted a half century ago.

My little pear tree looks good and the forsythia I planted last year is starting to bloom. The garden I planted corn in last year is not under water so I should be able to work in there this week. Hopefully I can start planting soon.

I just love that loamy smell of finished compost.

Nursery run this morning: bought marigolds, vinca, portulaca, and plum tomatoes. The lantana, bidens, and citronella were purchased 2 weeks ago.

May my annuals make you happy!

Oh, and milkweed is up, too.
