What did you do in your garden today?

[dirty hands]

I blew the leaves off the mulch around the boxwoods an area around a grafted willow and around the rhododendron and I found a lot of white stuff.

I cleared the mulch from around the boxwood and found more white stuff.

I sure hope I dont have to dig all this mulch out. I put in about 30 yards last year.

I cleaned some grasses out around the mailboxes that a neighbor tore up plowing.

Worked on my birdcam. Put new hinges on it and a hook to keep the lid closed. It just had a small magnet to keep it closed and the original hinge screws were stripped out.

Thunderstorms now.

That sounds like fungi growing due to dampness but I don't know if that would transfer to the Box.

Well we got Light and Heat Mats going for New Germination.

Bought couple Cherry Trees and couple Blueberry Bushes.

Got couple New Thermometers for the Greenhouse.

Went to Lowe’s and felt like I was running behind. My wife said yes they want to sell a bunch then Frost kills it all and they sell some more.

Found a good fishing hole might get some fertilizer for the garden.

Today was busy I planted Cherry Trees, Petunias and Marigolds.

Watered in the Greenhouse. Found I fill a tray with water some in Nursery Pots will soak up water from the bottom.

I ordered a bunch of Pots and Tray’s. Last Summer my wife put a bunch of Trays and Pots in a Horse Trailer so I’ll have plenty.

Sweet 100's my all-time favorite cherry tomato...they are incredible!

The forecast 10 days ago for March 15 was a low of 26 deg F. Today that same forecast is showing a low of 61 deg. F on March 15 now and no temps below 45 deg. for the next month.

Looks like my gamble to plant out tomatoes is paying off...and I'm proceeding to plant out the entire garden over the next few days...the area on the right below.

Potatoes are up, onions are bulbing, and everything looking good.

Managed to separate and re-pot some tomato seedlings, took an age with my right arm in a sling. Why does it always seem to be when something stops me it's at the busiest time of year? Should be planting out all sorts now.

sorry to hear that it does seem that way for sure

Walked around the yard checking on everything now that things are growing. The rain sure helped kick start everything and my boxwoods are looking much better now.
Thank you Sheal for the tips. It helped motivate me to get out there and clean it up too.

Murphy's first law I guess; 'If something can go wrong ... it will'
Managed to pot on my aubergine seedlings and filled my heaters and trimmed the wicks, they say it's going to freeze Friday and I put eight tomatoes out in the greenhouse to make room for the aubergines on the window sill. They should make it, but it is only eight less to give away if they don't, got plenty more.
