How Does Your Garden Grow??????

[farmerfischer]

I'm slowly adding organic matter to the soil, but it will be years before I have a drainage problem.

my gardens are there somewhere..lol.

 

[too larry]

well there has to be some good dirt down there some where.

The cats are doing their part too. But you want to wear gloves on rainy days when transplanting. I did get a few parasitic worms in my hand.

I see some dirt showing through.

And it should be plenty moist for planting when all that melts.

Got to watch out for ring worm.. real common with cats potty spots..

Yeah should be fairly moist..though sometimes the snow goes so fast that I doesn't seep into the ground...
the dirt spot is where I park my car.. the woman has it at work right now..

Yep. I had to take some antibiotics to get rid of them. If left untreated, it can be serious.

We have 4-5 pet cats, and 12-15 farm cats, and they all like to go in the garden.

I miss my wife going to work. I joked I was looking for a part time job. For her. But she is getting as bad as me for not wanting to go anywhere.

We used to build cold frames with 2x4's and plastic sheeting. That looks more like cheese cloth. Which I could have used with my sprouts in the fall/winter grow.

Glad you are getting a thaw.

Ha. Yea, my laptop does make seeing things easier than the screen on a phone. I have lots of cheese cloth, so I might rig up something like that. Speaking of cool stuff I get out of the garbage at work, I got about a dozen of the little round cr2032 batteries last night. I have so many of the little led candle looking lights, I just take out the batteries now, and toss the lights.

What do you do with batteries?

What do you do with batteries?

Lots of things use them, including headlamps. My food scale has a bad habit of going dead on the weekends, and I have to hit up the dollar stores in hopes of finding one. Cost about 3 bucks for the two it takes. At that rate I got about 18 bucks worth. But I did do a google search, and they are 24 cent if you buy in bulk. That is how the little lights are so cheap, folks throw them away after their events.

This is what the lights look like, but I have so many, I just save the batteries now.

I like the little balloon lights best for hiking. 2 or 3 of them will light up your tent fine. Weight about 2 grams each.

Yesterday I ran the disc over the parts of the garden not yet planted. I smoothed out the cuts and laid off some rows. Saturday and Sunday are good above ground days, so want to get as much prep work done as I can.
