popular What have you done today in the Garden?

Sorry Anniekay I hope rain will be coming soon.

 

I was able to get some more of my hostas transplanted to the shady area today. And I transplanted my ostrich plume fern there also. I bought a new rosemary plant from a friend's garden the other day and I got that planted outdoors near my new asparagus bed. I mulched it with straw good, so I hope it will be fine.

The varmints have been trying to dig into the chicken coop again, so I sprinkled two jars of cayenne pepper where they have been digging. Maybe that will deter them? I wish I had some powdered ghost peppers, they are supposed to be the hottest peppers there are. My son checked that area this afternoon and did not think they could get through. I am having the chickens sleep in the rabbit crate for now, it is a heavy guage steel and more secure. They have plenty of straw in there, and double tarps over it and is inside their play area.

 

Annie, I know the feeling. Ya watch the weather and hope the rain will come only to see on radar that again the storm splits and goes around you. Or it shifts a little north and you watch as that area gets drenched while you stay completely dry. Sometimes I feel like there is a magnetic field over us that repels precipitation. But I trust Mother Nature has her reasons. Like Job we tuff out the hard times.

 

Ain't this ^^^ the truth.
I did get rain last night just before dark. Checked the rain gauge this morning and we got a whole inch !!

 

Nothing today it's been raining on and off.

 

Not planning on going outside today … too cold. Maybe if the sun peeks out. Not ready for the winter cold.
