What have you done today in the Garden?

Sjoerd, I remain jealous of your garden progress, but I will soon be happy for you, just as soon as I begin planting in earnest.
I ordered seeds yesterday from Seed Savers. They sell Heirloom seeds. They save seeds from long ago.
Today, I bought onion sets for Red onions. Also lettuce seeds and Nasturtium seeds. I like growing Nasturtiums because they're not only beautiful, but very tasty as well.
I wish each of you Happy Gardening !

 

Sjoerd, I meant to ask, is Ground Elder like a weed that spreads? Perhaps something like our Bindweed?

 

I made a succulent wreath, actually a sempervivum wreath. Still have tons of semps to plant.

 

I managed to finally get my Hydrangea's pruned, and I also planted some tomatoes - indoors of course. After last nights torrential rain it could be awhile before it is dry enough to do anything else!

 

I'm planting my semps that a friend gave me. She gave me a ton of them.

 

I planted potatoes. And planted my herb garden. Filled my car with plants for the Farmers Market tomorrow. I'm so excite.

 

Although it was a little muddy, I transplanted some perennials today. Been raining all week.

 

You can also use cardboard. It breaks down to mulch itself, but takes its time doing it. I like that it holds weeds back for some time but is basically organic.

You may have seen my post elsewhere where I was reminding someone not to put mulch hard up against trunks of trees, though I guess most gardeners already know that.

 

Ms. Kitty, just what are semps?

Today I only buried some peelings, etc. The earth is a bit wet for digging much.

 

Semps is short for sempervivum. They are also known as hens and chicks.

 

Ms Kitty, that I'm familiar with.

Today I have done nothing in the garden.
I did buy the seed potatoes for planting
soon. I cut them apart and left them to
scab over.

 

Inside I planted a flat of tomato seeds. Outside I walked through 2 1/2 to 3 feet of snow that covers my garden areas. Just hoping that the ground is dry enough to plough by the first week of June.

 

It dried out just enough to till the vegetable garden today! Big cleanout first, then tilled and planted peas, spinach and onions. It'll be a couple more weeks before the potatoes go in here. Nice to get it started though! I had what I called my hosta farm back there, and we divided and transplanted all of them so I could expand the vegetable garden to use all the available space. Must have been at least a couple dozen transplants.

 

Just the opposite here it started raining before daylight and only now quit. I did walk out in it and check on our loquat plums by the time the yard dries in a couple days it will be plum picking time.

 

Pianolady, that area sure looks inviting.
