My To Do List . . .

This week I have a few things I would like to get done in the garden---what's on your list??

---fertilize my stone fruit trees, tomatoes, carrots, roses (done)
---finish pruning the hedges (9/10 done!)
---transplant my veggie starts into larger pots (done)
---take out anything that's left from the cole crops (turnips, bok choi, etc.) [see next post above]
(done)

I finally got all of the weeds pulled from my main vegetable box and layed them on top of the soil as a mulch. It was mostly crabgrass and I caught it before it went to seed. Soon I will cover them up with flakes of straw, when I get more straw.

I didn't get the bone meal to go after the pill bugs and ants, but I plan to this week.

Planting by the moon signs:

Monday-Tuesday: Taurus---#1 for planting root crops, including peanuts; good for transplanting everything, with it being 2nd best for transplanting above ground plants.

Wednesday: Gemini---2nd best for planting root crops, above ground crops and transplanting all crops.

Thursday-Friday: Cancer---#1 for planting root crops, above ground crops and transplants.

Saturday-Monday: Leo---not good for planting or transplanting; good for killing weeds, bushes.

My To-Do List . . .

According to the "Old Farmer's Almanac," today we are in Leo, and Tuesday through Friday we are in Virgo. Both of those signs are considered barren and the only things that are good to do is to weed, prune, and kill bushes. Saturday will pick up again with Libra, which is very good for planting/growing above ground crops. So, that means I will have plenty of time to tackle those weeds in my yard!

---weed (on-going)
---deadhead the flowers, especially roses (on-going)
---finish thinning my peaches (done)
---trim front yard hedges
