It’s another windy day on the farm and you know just how much I love wind! NOT!! But it was the moment of truth for the garden. If I didn’t get in there today and get it somewhat cleaned out, it was going to be too late. They were forecasting rain this afternoon, so I decided to take the plunge and get it done! So I find some extension cords and start up my handy little garden tiller… and it works! Yea for me!! I guess I was just expecting that it was going to be a one shot deal or something. But I headed over to the tomatoes and started to work getting it cleaned up. Even though the onions weren’t too tall and strong yet, they still were growing and didn’t look too bad either. Now for my lettuce? Yea, not so good. I planted some of the strips that you can buy now with the seeds all on this paper strip and you just lay it down in the rows. But I might have planted it too deep and if the lettuce did come up, it was mixed in with the weeds. So I dug that section up and will replant.
My peas & peppers are looking pretty good and a couple of the beans came up. I’ve got a raspberry patch on the corner of the garden that got smoked last year when the lawn got sprayed, and I was hoping that it would come back this year. But no such luck, so I’m going to spray this one section to kill all the grass and start over next new. I also took a huge step for me today. I cleaned out most of the greenhouse. I’ve been trying to find someone… anyone.. that wanted some tomato plants. But with no luck, today I threw out about 80 plants. Any you know what? It was kind of a relief to be honest. I had to keep just about 10 plants just in case I can find someplace to plant them.
While I was in the garden, Daryl was moving the hay that was baled last week home for the cattle. We store some of the bales in our shed on our farm so it makes it easier to feed the cattle.
The picture of the day is this one Robin that was spying on my strawberry plants.
I couldn’t believe how tame the bird was! But tomorrow I better get some netting for those strawberries before the birds eat all of them.
