I decided to freeze some green onions. I think they are pretty hearty in cold weather, but froze some anyway.
We had two good garden days - tilled up more, decided to keep two raised beds, and rip out the other two, layered cardboard between them and piled it high with mulch the county workers left us from the tree they cut down.
Tilled even more, planted the radishes, carrots, beets, and green and wax beans. The kale bed is weeded. I just need to add some soil and get that planted.
Due to the weather my mini velociraptors were moved to the smaller coop finally. So glad to get them out of the house.
Whelp. I saw a raccoon for the first time in a few years. It came right up to the door looking for cat food. I'll be on the look out to see if it was passing through or hunkering down in a pile of old barn wood or in one of the barns.
I made homemade shower bombs to lift my spirits. I used sweet orange (builds up immunity) and peppermint. They were a fail.
They turned out nice after they dried, but they did not give off any aroma from the essential oils. You'd have to add a ton of essential oil to it, so I won't be making them again. It was fun to make, but disappointing it didn't work.
Rain is arriving soon. One rain barrel is already flipped over, and flowers have been moved outside to plant later. If the rain lets up to a light rain, I can start to harden my veggie plants today.
