Gardens anyone?

[Mac Attack]

Went to HD and got a new grill for the lake.
Also a couple of 15A double pole circuit breakers.

Donna and I both noticed that most of the plants there looked really sad.  Some dead.
They are outside in the garden area so they have been getting rain.  Maybe the cold nights???

Probably that last series of night time freezes. It killed some of my early asparagus and damaged the Bleeding Heart . But both seem to be coming back OK.

After all that gardening and a wee dram of bourbon, I crashed out on the couch about 7:00 last night. Woke up at 11 and went to bed. Now it's 3:22 am and I'm wide awake. 

Forgot to mention that when I was at Lowes yesterday, there wasn't a veritable plant in sight. All sold out. Never seen that happen in the 10 years I've been shopping there. Glad I buy seed and start my own.

There was tons of plants at HD.  Tons.
And a large portion of them looked terrible.

Probably mis handled during the freezes.

Strange visitor to our lilac bush today. Jo Jo wanted some tree time.
Gave him some chicken wing bones for a snack. Yup...he's a little carnivore! Loves meat as a snack.

I made him a little play area in our lilac bush. He loves being a bird.

I have a fountain for the birds to use and he loves to dive in for a bath.



After which he needs a good dry. So I wrap a towel around  his perch rope and he spends the next  30 minutes getting dry.


He's my next door neighbor's little buddy. We were bird sitting today while he was doing some remodeling. JoJo is very special to us.

Got the raised beds ready for planting tomorrow. Fresh compost and topsoil. It’s a wonderful time of year, garden by day, walleye fish by night!

My wife's friend wanted to try and grow peanuts.  I'm pretty sure they won't produce but I think it's a neat little project.

[rgfixit]

I did some peanuts in a container one year. We got some out of it.

My herbs are starting to sprout in the Trough planter. Picked up 2 tomato plants this morning that I didn't have seed for . A "Mr. Stripy" and a "Better Boy" hybrid. The mammoth sunflowers are sprouting as well. This weeks weather should make them all very happy.

Garden is in! Tomatoes, green bell peppers, onions, carrots, string beans, corn, zucchini, butternut squash, cucumbers and potatoes. Still have a bunch of flowers to plant though...

[rgfixit]

Taters poked through. Stuff in the planter is growing up fast. Herbs are sprouting. Probably transplant most of it to the gardens this week. Then I can grow some radishes and spinach in the planter.

all she required for payment was a burger on the Weber, and a bloody mary. Fair trade I'd say.
