What did you do in your garden today?

[big rockpile]

I started digging up a Flower Bed. Got dizzy so I quit.

A beautiful day yesterday, so I wore my shorts in the garden. This morning my legs are covered in bites, back to the jeans.

I actually did more with animals than garden but I did water stuff to where I didn’t have to tomorrow.

Cut some Leaf Lettuce, pulled Onions and cut Spearmint.

Did some more digging up along the road. What I’m planning to do is have it dug up tomorrow broadcast Pollinator Wildflower Mix and some Marigolds.

Supposed to rain let it settle the seed in the ground.

Had some good rain so no watering today, started sowing the wallflower seeds, i sow them into half toilet roll tubes, put them in a tray and cover it with cling film, done 60 so far.

Did something I was told not to. I run the Tiller digging out the rest of my Flower Bed. Planted Marigolds and Wild Flower Seed.

Planted Tomatoes, Borage, Marigolds and Okra in my raised beds.

Moved some plants out of the Greenhouse.

I planted runner bean seeds in toiler roll centres today. I put them in a tub so the rolls stick up above it, then fill the tub to overflowing with water so they are watered from below, no cling film.
Missed the morning, not feeling great, I managed to pull my bad shoulder in my sleep, and slept badly after that. Later I planted runners as above, watered the greenhouses, planted out chard and tomatoes. Pruned some of my older tomatoes and made cuttings from the side shoots ready for my later crop. I first learned to put the cutting in water and then pot them on when they get water roots, now I put them in earth, then put them in something I can fill with water to the top of the earth, they seem to do better right from the word go; no wilting, quicker rooting, and no root disturbance potting on, I just let them drai the excess water.

I wish I had worked in my garden today. It was cool and rainy so I stayed in.

I was bored so I figured up my bills make my wife happy. Figured up I have some money.

Called my wife and told her she could have so much. Looked at my account online. Seen where she had taken out. OH NO!

I had forgotten to figure in my two biggest bills. I hope I’m not overdrawn??? Refigured. I’m good got $3

Now to garden I checked my transplants and they was up looking good. All my plants I moved out of the Greenhouse looked good.

Closed the Greenhouse up for my Tropicals.

pulled some carrots and found this guy munchin on basil

 

[Meadowlark]

Nice carrots and excellent shot of what looks to me to be the "Buckeye Butterfly".

Sometimes called common buckeye but nothing common about it to me.

*The butterfly you’re describing is most likely the Common Buckeye (Junonia coenia) — a species well‑known for its large circular eyespot markings and its strong attraction to basil and other mint-family herbs.
