Made up the frame for the zippy greenhouse over the weekend. I need to get a new cover as I put the frame together so I could measure it. I managed to order one Sunday that getting delivered in the week. Also pictured is my new coldframe in grey. 3 shelves for putting potted plants in when hardening off as I move plants out of the zippy greenhouse. #zippygreenhouse #coldframe #gardening #gardeningmastodon #spring2025 #springgardening

Unexpected purple sprouting broccoli at my #allotment today! It's now in my belly! #GardeningMastodon #HomegrownFood #AllotmentsOfMastodon

Amazing! Here are the veggie plants that are still alive and kicking, having made it through multiple #PolarVortex with subzero temperatures this #winter in the #lowtunnel.

Okay, 7 heads of #garlic planted! I meant to plant them after Thanksgiving, then after Xmas, and then there was a blizzard after New Year's...you get the idea!

I know I've been posting a lot about #yarn, #handspinning, and #dyeing #wool. It's #winter right now.

Rest assured I will turn back to #GardeningMastodon soon! It's almost time to sow #seeds!

And #lambing is coming up mid-March, too. So, I will be talking more about that as it gets closer. #SheepOfMastodon

I recommend you have a #garden this year, for sure.

Opened up the #lowtunnel to water it yesterday. Everything is growing well, albeit slow. Little to no pests. We've been eating a lot of bok choy.

I knew there was going to come a time where my #gardening would seriously be important and money-saving. It's sooner than I thought...

Frost coming tonight, so called it quits on the #peppers. #Harvest time!

All the bellpeppers are screaming some sort of stir fry, philly, skilletini, or fajitas.

The bok choy is for kimchee and the pika peppers will be dried for use in Thai dishes.

Working my way through #covid19 Yep I was fully #vaxxed got it anyway. And it wasn't the least bit mild. 3 days of fever over #102. Today 5th just feels like a chest cold. But as any good #gardener would when expecting a week of rain. And having sprouting bulbs arrive monday. I went out and planted over 200 #bulbs on my hands and knees. Mixed #crocus , #iris reticulata Harmony, grape #hyacinth, PurpIe Emperor #allium , and #snowflakes. Still to plant are blue shades #anemone blanda and a few species tulips.

And also two colors of bachelor button seeds.

I note grass and #lupines coming up in the #fieldofdreams #wildlowermeadow #gardening #GardeningMastodon @gardening

I don't have an pictures from today but here's a recent sunrise.
