Greetings from southern New Hampshire!
My three Layens Bee Hives are completed, positioned and baited. No interest on our three swarm traps, but today is the first reasonable day for Scouts Out! Our lilacs are starting to bloom, and hopefully, that will bring in future tenants.
Our basement is crowded with healthy seedlings and Household Six has really been bitten by the gardening bug!
We found and patched the slow leak in our front water garden. The planters around it are immaculate.
I need to rake level, all of the compost I put in our raised beds, and position the remaining two cattle panels as trellis.
Our garlic is up in all three beds. Question. Should I clear the straw off of them, now, or keep in on them? Thanks!
Keep the mulch on your Garlic and make sure it gets regular watering if you don’t have consistent rain this season.
One Inch of rain per week is considered ‘perfect’ for all living things.
Otherwise, sounds like great progress at ‘Household Six.’ (I love that!)
You’re a good three weeks ahead of us then.
The Upper Valley isn’t so far along.
