Garden time!

old medic said:
Sure would be.... Green houses are open air and the plants aren't generally picked up and handled by everyone... just sit there and get watered.... If you must wear a mask... and wash your hands after handling stuff.
My biggest complaint this year is the local high school FFA is where we always get our plants. Cheap but good plants
With them shut down the local Green Houses prices are gouging in my opinion....

I don’t know if our garden centers are open, but after you handle any plants you would wash your hands anyway.
 

4.2 aftershock last night, 4.2 aftershock today, today so far rain, snow, hail, and now rain. Put husband to work laying down peal and stick carpet inside. If he falls through a crack in the earth, my garden won’t get planted.😱
 
I just got a nice present from one of my sons yesterday: a box of heritage flower seeds from Jefferson's Monticello. We visited last year, and I was in love with the heritage flower beds at both Monticello and Mt. Vernon. I bought some seeds while there last year and loved them. So he just sent me a gift box of 10 packs of heritage seeds. Can't wait until it is warm enough to plant them.

So a month ago husband bought a small dog run for the puppies, way to small, paid 50 bucks used. Bought a new big one, but what to do with the small one. Hmm, took it apart, pounded the fence poles into the ground, stretched the fencing between the posts.

Now I have a garden fence to keep the dogs out of the garden. 😄
 
We finally had a few dry days earlier this week, so I was able to till my garden and plow all the weeds under. However, the next day the rains came back, and more coming this week....so, per normal, it will probably be Mid-May before I get things planted.
 
I was able to buy 9 roses, usually 19.98 for 5 dollars a piece, already on clearance. Dusty miller, 2.98 for a six pack, got three six packs for .25 cents. Other roses 9 bucks usually 16. 2 hanging basket 5 normally 20 and 2 others 3. 7 irises 3 dollars a piece usually 8 and these can be split into a great many flowers.

Now to get it all planted, 😲
 
Got the dill planted between the tomato plants. Suppose to cut down on the tomato worms. Seemed to work last year. Out working in the garden, nice day but a little hot. Got to get my husband going to work, he just got up, lol, must be nice. I can never sleep.
