Had to laugh. Looked out the window at the garden area I planted Friday. It was under ~3" snow and the bunny tracks were just thick. They're taunting me...

Nice man cave.  Looks like you are all set up.    Better get a case of Girl Scout cookies and a gallon of milk for survival.

Boars greenhouse?

Just waiting for May......

Looks great HD, I've been putting the seeds off, didn't want to start too early, maybe this weekend..

[Scenic]

Looks good.  I started some bulbs that I received to late to get in the ground last winter.  Guess I started them too early because they are already in full bloom.  Garage looks like a flower shop.

Looks like I probably better cover up my lettuce Sunday and Monday nights. 21 is a bit cold even for leaf lettuce.
Tender little seedling

We still have snow on our asparagus. 

[Dotch]

If it would just snow again quick roony, you'd be good to go! Think we're gonna cover the daffodils tonite. Counted a couple dozen flower buds on them so not taking any chances. Didn't uncover the rhubarb so there's enough of last year's residue & leaves to protect it, I think. Got the apple & pear tree pruning done that I could from the ground. Should be able to finish when it warms up a little. Looks like the Haralson is taking this year off as is its habit. Last year it was loaded. Snow Sweet is looking promising however after bearing heavily in '24. It works good as a cooking apple too. Pear trees look good & I keep beating the plum trees back so they can expand.

What kind of seeding device do you use Dotch? I always get things too thick. My youngest son was the best radish planter ever. I told him to plant the seeds an inch and a quarter apart and that is just what he did. Great to have such patience and discipline.

[Dotch]

It's a little el cheapo deal I got from Jung's for free once upon a time. It takes a little tweaking to get it calibrated to the seed size but once you do, it works decent. Not perfect spacing but it doesn't necessarily need to be for small seeded crops like radishes and greens.

Here's one just like it for sale on Amazon:

[roony]

Thanks!

[glenn57]

i use various size seasoning containers...... depending on the size of the seed.........

[Bobberineyes]

Hey that looks pretty slick! So you dredge it thru dirt setting seed at the same time it looks. Then come back and cover ? And here I just hand plant..

not quite sure what your asking, but iffin i had one of those.......i still would run a line with a hoe or something, use that then bury it.
