Been working all week putting in my Corona garden. It’s been great therapy.

I did not know you could grow beer :)

Did some digging in the garden yesterday. Skipped gardening last year so I’m basically flipping the sod over. Rain today and most days right now puts a damper on things. Going to let the chickens till it soon and then go get a few yards of compost to give me a head start this year. I’ll make my own after that. Got my seed order from Baker Creek yesterday. Bought a peach tree from walmart last week. Saw the, looked at the variety online, supposed to be a late variety so I went back and bought one. It’s loaded with flowers right now. So much for late variety. Maybe it came from a nursery in Canada and thinks 40 degrees is mid Spring. Never again. I’ll but from Gurney’s or something from now on. First peach tree I got from walmart flowers before the last freeze date most of the time. Had it 4-5 years and the frost has got it every year but one. I even tried tenting it with tarps, not touching the tree and stuck a space heater in there one year but the wind overpowered the heater.
