Very productive weekend planting all the things... #springgardening 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

From 2 weeks ago, finishing up the potting-up and some confusion... 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

After a long overwinter, 2 successfully over-wintered figs (one is Violette De Bordeaux) are settled into their forever home. #figs 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

The last seeds for my plant sale have been planted. I saved and repurposed several trash items in order to reduce plastic waste. #corn #butternut #cucumber #cilantro #housespider 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Delayed potatoes, forgotten Asparagus, lost seedlings, flowering Rhubarb and more are in this weeks garden observation. Unfortunately, sickness and the weather will keep me from getting any of these tasks completed... #chittingpotatoes #rhubarbflower 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

The easiest way to make more sweet potato. #propagatingsweetpotato #sweetpotatoslips 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Last few days before the plant sale but I need to get these potatoes in the ground last week. #plantingpotatoes 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Started indoors early on will mean early and long harvest of this prolific fruit. Also having them elevated and on a clean surface means easy, less waste harvest. #auntmollysgroundcherry 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

My last trip to the basement for a while as these plants make their way to new homes. I hope... #sellingplants #plantsale 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

This marathon planting week draws to a close with the melons getting seeded. (I wanted the straw for mulch which I couldn't pick up till Sat.) This month has been non-stop and very exhausting and rewarding. I'm looking forward to June, to reset my body and enjoy the growth that is just around the corner. #transatlanticmelonchallenge 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Big Push day, since tomorrow is a wash-out. 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden *or more

No planting today, and we are mostly working in the dark. But now I'm all set for the summer crops that will be seeded this weekend. #alpacamanurehaul 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden *or none

I'm trying to improve my harvest by improving the watering. Plus gotta keep up with the weeds... #swampwater #wateringthegarden #boltingvegetables 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden *or more

It's Tomato Tuesday with Cucumber in the morning and (not shown) Peppers in the afternoon... #plantingtomato #plantingcucumber #trellising 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden *or more

(*or more) Striving to plant everyday this week. Today are sweet potato and eggplant... #sweetpotato #ruthstout #eggplant 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Warming weather and rains means plants are popping up (and weeds). Plus the constant look-out for pests. Some losses and wins this fine day... 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

My Garlic are finally flowering, which means harvest is just around the corner. But before that, a harvest of Scapes is just as exciting. #garlicscapes 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden

Finally tackling this time sensitive project. We don't want another outdoor winter and this build will likely take all summer... #chickencoop 🌿Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joyofthegarden
