What have you done today in the Garden?

@Sjoerd yes there is, how much jam did you make with your Blues?

 

planted a few more things in the greenhouse, mulched a small portion of a bed for tomatoes with the comfrey, rabbit poop, clover and alfalfa pellets. the tomatoes did not grow well there last year. hopefully this year they will do better.

 

They all look so puny.

 

Harvested some young spinach. Repotted some bok choy and a few peppers. Started a few cells of chives of which half will go to my brother, who has dill planted to share with moi...!

 

Thanks for the thoughts... She did very well and is feeling good but also tired.

 

Its a real privilege to look after someone who has looked after you.

 

Hope that she's better soon,

 

today I hope to remember to carry my camera around with me to update all the going ons around here. it is almost no wait it is! !!! ITS MAY TODAY! hip hip hooray! IT'S MAY.

 

I found this while I was weeding without gloves.

 

I can't even begin to tell you all how tired i am at times....lol. Between the heat and planting, i'm exhausted by 11 a.m. Yes i said 11 a.m. I go at it pretty early before that heat sets in at 10ish.
I do have a question though..is it too late to plant potatoes? Think i'll drop a couple in a pot and see for myself..hehe.

 

OH! no thanks Odif. is it poisonous? We don't have any or not many poisonous snakes around here.

 

@carolyn oh no this is a grass snake. It has a disguise that makes it look like a poisonous snake.

 

Not much to do at the moment, it will be at the end of may when i plant all the bedding and containers.
But i did pull 6lb of rhubarb

 

Odif, around here the only think that is poisonous is the copperhead snake and I have never seen one except at a nature museum. they look very similar to that except in a brown camouflage pattern. they blend right in with leaves. they have triangular shaped heads. our non poisonous snakes generally have oval shaped heads. here is a great info page on them.

@Logan, great looking rhubarb stalks. My rhubarb has not come up yet. I suspect it has bit the dust (actually mud, we are having a super rainy season). I don't know how in the world I have managed to kill it. I thought rhubarb was indestructible!
