next

We did stuff in the garden and the yard yesterday and today. The veggie beds are still putting out cool weather yum and I am gradually planting new in the vacant areas. Planted two varieties of beets, snap peas (I know Randy, probably too late, but what the heck) and fava beans, which also may be a little late. Now to put in some "good Chianti" for when they mature.


The peach tree seems to be bouncing back after the freeze.



The plum trees are blooming out, one a good bit ahead of the other. We also have a damson plum, but it just went in the ground in late Summer, so we don't expect much this year.


Put some teak oil on the roof and legs of the hives yesterday and got them placed and leveled today. Bring on our girls!

I also put down another seeding of Dutch White Clover in the front and back yards today. Hoping it will take over the yard eventually and require less mowing as well as provide food for the bees.

  1. Chuck, why not plant plain White clover, the seeds can be found easily around here. One note clover is adored by deer as well. Our peas are 8-9 inches tall now, maybe you'll do ok with them.

    1. Randy, my understanding was the Dutch is "plain white clover" and yes I got it at Southern States.
