Your 2025 Garden

[Sally PB]

I gathered the soil samples for testing. They're drying out in the green house. I hope to mail them in on Thursday.

I have my cabbages, broccoli and some spinach seedlings planted today. Cleaned up some of the backyard. Our fence blew over in the blizzard last month and the fence was put up this week. The fence company was so nice trying to stay out of my garden while building it.

Snow on the ground this morning. I went out to check for peas breaking ground anyway. Not yet but I saw some scat in the orchard when I was comparing how swollen the apple and pear buds are getting too what they were last week. Knowing the dogs' collars don't let them go that far I asked the brother about it. He confirmed my suspicion that the bear visited last night.

It's way too soon but I planted a cauliflower in the garden. If I cover it on really cold nights, it may make it.

I am waiting for mud season end before I even till.

Still moving slow today. Can't transplant in the garden as it is to windy to use the propane torch to cut out circles to plant the transplants in. I really didn't want to just yet. Help is coming for a couple of days on Friday that can bend down much better than I can. If not by then today's shot in the lower back will be kicked in good and I'll got at it like a woodpecker on a wormy dead tree.

Aw, c'mon. Bending over is NEVER the problem ..... it's getting back UP again that's the real issue!

When you reach a certain stage, getting down can be just as hard as getting back up. Bending over really is a problem.

This year I'm going to try again at growing Mangels for animal feed, as well as Tromboncinos!

I've never grown mangels, but Tromboncinos are fun!

After a trip to Lowes for coop building supplies I had to break down and take pain meds I've been avoiding today. Tomorrow will require some crawling on my knees planting tomatoes. I have some vining yellow summer squash seed that should arrive in a few days that will be planted by stakes that were use in last years tomato area. Saves pulling those stakes out of the ground. I need several T Post driven but my back is not willing at the moment. We have a lot of collard plants that are almost ready to graduate to the field.
