What have you done today in the Garden?

Built a Clematis rack and set the broad beans out.
Things are really moving along here now.

 

Peggy and I have moved into our one hour yard work out routine. We have been weeding and mulching around trees and such with banana leaves and tending stuff. The banana leaves make great fast composting mulch. It looks a lil messy at first but they mat down quickly.

 

I just got home from buying another big planter. Later today I will plant the rest of my baby sedums and semps.

 

Hearing of planting is making me REALLY want to dig in the dirt outdoors, only in the 20's today here.. ...I will just plant a few things right now...

 

I have been planting Iris, roses, and sedum.i still have more to plant. Iris and Black Eyed Susans

 

Covering things so they don't freeze tonight

 

It snowed all day yesterday, so my gardening took place indoors.
I transplanted more veggie seedlings into pots and moved some pots from the growlights to the window.
Now, we have bright, sunny skies and close to 50 for the rest of the week. I'm considering moving the rest of the seedlings to the window.
I'm also debating whether or not to start my squash seeds. Any thoughts anyone? Last frost is mid-May. I usually plant the end of May.

 

i had 15 Straw Bales delivered for an experiment with strawbale gardening this season. i will garden as i have been for the majority of the plot, but will attempt this interesting technique with a small space. also will be transplanting new seedlings into small single cups and i will plant Carolina Reaper seeds!

 

Please take pictures for all of your steps in straw bale gardening razyrsharpe, it sounds interesting.

 

I made a hanging basket and planted more Iris.just a few Iris to plant.

I planted the last of the Iris,some sedums, hens and chicks. I broke my jackmanii trying to plant it. Hopefully it will grow bank.

 

Ms. Kitty, your clematis will undoubtedly come back. You just broke the top growth--the roots, which really provide more growth, are just fine. If you are worried about it, you could give it a very gentle dose of nitrogen rich fertilizer. Whatever the recommended application is of the fertilizer, just do a half-application.

 

Thanks

I weeded the strawberries and trapped three more voles.
