Good Morning, Everybody!:-)
Good morning and happy gardening.
Never got my Ferguson TO-35 cranked.
But hired someone with tractor and PTO tiller
to till my garden.
Planting 30 tomato plants, mostly BrandyWine.
And then some hot peppers, zucchini and beans.
CLICK ON THE PICTURE!
I went to the garden center yesterday for the first time this season. There’s only one GC nearby that has French Tarragon, and they had two plants left. The ones I had last year I left outside over the winter to see if anything would come up, and so far, only a tiny spring in one pot. The chives are already back up and producing just fine.
I know this isn’t a birding thread, but the migration has started and I’m seeing several species that stop in on their way more north, or a few that will stay the whole season and make babies nearby. We have several Baltimore Orioles, Rose-breasted Grosbeaks, and Gray Catbirds now, along with a sighting or two of Indigo Bunting, and a couple of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds. It finally feels like real Spring instead of pseudo Spring, with the arrival of all these birds. Makes me a little cheerier. Those songs sure make working outside a bit more fun.
Thanks for the tomato advice - they survived and are thriving!
I have another question. I have a hill that was created through grading and I planted juniper on it last year. The juniper is doing well but a long way from filling in. I noticed I have vetch growing among the juniper and my thought is to leave it alone as I read it is good for fixing bad soil, and maybe pull it next year. What do y’all think?
