Year of the Patriot: Gardens

Got lucky ;D
No frost in my little slice of heaven. Saw some in lower ground this morning but none on my stuff. I immediately went and planted my squashes in the hills. Be 82 by Monday. My broccoli loves this weather, already has quarter sized heads on them. They be harvested by Memorial day I'm confident and in freezer.
It's funny how if you just miss yer window by a day or two and weather does not cooperate your left holding the bag, Especially if your rotating plants in same spaces in a smaller garden. Have to stay on it, dog gone it.

Looks like the lettuce and spinach isn't coming up so will have to re-do that.
On the upside, Nature's garden gave us 18 BIG morels this afternoon. :)

I planted dill plants for pickles through the plastic in my garden yesterday, one little pot with 6 plants in it was almost $4. I grew some in my flower bed last year, I planted a few dried seeds from last years crop in the same place this year but doubted it they would come up in the pine bark.
I also kicked out some dirt and planted a handful of seeds near the woods at the edge of my yard. Deer will eat these if the seeds sprout, deer love dill, planting them was just an experiment to see if the seeds were viable.
After yesterdays planting I walked over to the flower bed to see if any dill was coming up, there was, I am going to have plenty of dill this year. In the past deer wouldn't eat my monkey grass or dill from this side of the house because the camper in my driveway made a pinch point between it and the house that they didn't feel comfortable in. I sold the camper a couple of days ago so deer will probably eat the flower bed dill as well.

Dug the garden, turned in compost. 2 more weeks and the tators go in.
