What have you done today in the Garden?

I did get 4 more loads of wood chips hauled to my compost and a few flower beds. The wheelbarrow is heavy. That pile is slowly diminishing. (It was originally 2 large truck loads of wood chips)

My asparagus is fading and going to seed. I have some lettuce growing, and the parsley still looks good. I don't think the peas will do anything, but its okay. The beets look nice, the onions and garlics all look good. I still have a few marigold plants, but it is to be in the 20s tonight, so they will all be done. The carrot seedlings are thick, rain washed them all over the beds. My dill seedlings look nice. I will get some leaves on them tomorrow I hope. I scattered some of my calendula seeds in various areas. My broccoli plants do not have heads, but they do look good otherwise.

 

Gosh @AAnightowl you still have a lot coming along fine...well done. Sounds like you'll have a very tasty harvest to look forward to.

 

I was out on our garden by 8:30 this morning ( a tad nippy in our north facing garden at this time of year )and manage to cut back, mulch and bed down 2 more borders worth of Dahlias ( 10 plants) . We are currently in town enjoying a lovely lunch overlooking the Solent water in beautiful sunshine.

In case we get home too late I have thrown protective coverings over the remaining Dahlias as we gave heavy rain and gale force winds forecast for Saturday and Sunday. So hopefully the ground will now not get so soaked around them now.
