What did you do in the garden today?

First pic is wild mustard. The mustard family when fall planted get stocky and will not bolt in the shortening days. In springs lengthening days they bolt to seed. The Chinese made good use of the mustard family. Chinese cabbage and such. Second pic is hollyhock starts of various ages.

Made the candy boards last night, ready to put them on the hives. Garden is empty, would like the weather to dry up a bit so I can plant some clover or a cover crop.

I have problems with cover crops down here in kentucky, they turn into vole motels. Remembering the first year I planted winter wheat, there was a vole hole every 3 or 4 inches by the time I harvested.

Worked on getting seeds out of seed heads today. Made good progress on the lettuce, started on the catnip.

A very nice day. Sunshine and 55. First nice day in nearly a week.

Why not just let the goats browse the wild raspberry canes?

Because they are spoiled and won't eat them either! Well... I guess there are too many better things available so they generally ignore them.

OH ya, sorry. It's as brilliant as the cheaper plastic one I had.
Right now, it's so cold at night, the mice aren't coming out as often.

But still catching them when they do.

I hauled another 4 tarps' worth of leaves down to the garden. I think that's it for raking up leaves for the year.
