It has been raining for a few days then this happened yesterday…
SNOW!
Today was a beautiful day. So I finally got some more stuff done in the garden.
FENCE:
In the rain and cold my honey helped me put the chicken wire fence up. It’s almost done. Waiting for some stakes to come in on Wednesday.
PLANTS:
Sage grew a lot!
I cleaned up the strawberries. For the most part they did pretty good in the cold. Some leaves were hurt but I picked them off.
Same with the chard. I removed all the damaged leaves from the cold.
GROUND COVER:
Since I got the fence up I was able to lay down the rest of the straw. This will help the large and vine plants that grow to the ground stay cleaner and dryer.
STRAW BALE CONDITIONING:
Unfortunately because of the rain and cold I have done nothing with the bales. I did give them a good watering today but that’s it. ☹️ The bales seem to be staying 60 degrees inside. That’s good considering our night temps have been 28-30 degrees, day temps 40’s.
Tomorrow I start work again. Won’t be able to play in the garden until Thursday. Bummer.
MASON JAR HERB GARDEN:
I did put together my mason jar herb garden today.
INDOOR STARTS:
Are looking good! Started tomatoes today.
Until next time – Happy Gardening!
