well G is going to till my garden again!!!!!!! this goofy darn weather has me nervous planting anything though!!!!!!1

[Dotch]

We picked up .09" of rain today. Supposed to be an encore performance tomorrow afternoon. Thought maybe I'd put some early stuff in before that all transpired. Soil's just a little too tacky to work so if I do anything, it'll be pick up more stuff around the yard.

[glenn57]

so.....dotch......you sure you want me to mail you the present i talked to you about!!!!!!!!

you woildnt be near st cloud anytime soon?????????

[Dotch]

Odds are it won't be until July if Shadow hasn't eaten them all by then. She claims she has plenty but I know how that goes. "Oh, do we have any more of those cones? I need them for blah blah blah." No dear, you used them all up. Anything I'd picked up was in the buckets in the garage. "Oh." 

[glenn57]

I'll mail them to you in the near future. I gotta find a road kill to add to it.

Just looked at my garden notes from the past, it sure doesn't seem like it but it's not unusual to just start doing garden stuff about this time!!

Just doesn't seem the garden if warm enough yet!

[glenn57]

[roony]

Ready to roll, garden is tilled.  Just in time stringless beans, pickling cukes and peas are doing well I started a week ago. It'll be nice to run different rounds so they all don't need picking at the same time.

[Dotch]

Still sizing up what needs to be done here. Have some Canada thistle that survived under the pumpkin/gourd/squash canopy last year in the new area I worked up. Some quack & brome as well so a treatment with glyphosate would be warranted. Could also torch off the area we want to work up so that will be more manageable. Otherwise, if it doesn't rain, could get the tiller out to slap some early stuff in. If it does rain, could go to the Seed House (Weed House) in Albert's Leaf to pick up some more seed & pick up some asparagus roots. Have been wanting to establish a patch again for quite some time.

When picking up sticks, crushed rock & other assorted garbage last nite, I could start to smell the serviceberry about ready to burst into bloom. The bees & pollinating flies go nuts when the flowers open. The pear trees, especially the Parker are just loaded with flower buds. Hope the bees & flies hang around to pollinate them. Altho they'll probably pull out & head to roony's. He always gets all the good pears...

Have planted radishes, onions, peas, and lettuce. Also put out cabbage plants. My 2 small greenhouses are full.

[glenn57]

eat them just like they are.

Depends on the weather. I pick them until they start budding new sets. If you want some I'll have plenty in the fall

[KEN W]

Are these what you are talking about???

The Egyptian onion (also called tree onion and walking onion) produces clusters of small bulbs (called bulblets) at the tops of flower-like stalks in summer.

[glenn57]

Yep looks like them . I was just always told they were winter onions. First thing in the spring you can eat !
