That's pretty much it. This community seems to be more active lately, and that's really nice to see.

Corn is finally peeking out, but something has been digging it up and chomping seedlings, too. I shotgunned it, so I can afford the losses. More stuff in a comment to follow

Store bought starters, but they’ve been transplanted and these are new blooms since getting established!

Topped by deer and it looks like Lily beetles are a thing here now :(

I think I dropped seeds here many months ago....

Bought a couple star gazer lilys from Lowe’s about 5 years ago and they’ve been multiplying every year. This winter I’ll need to dig out some bulbs cause it’s getting thick and over crowded in that pot....

They look pretty grown but just before I snapped this pic, one of them was begging an adult at my bird feeder, very cute to watch them flitting around....

After a cold and rainy start of spring, finally the beans are sprouting. We also have a bunch of tomatoes and brassicae....

Greetings all. I hope this is the appropriate place to post this if not please let me know....

Starring two of our chicken Clementine & Adelheide.

This is the first planted bed out of them all, from left to right, we have tomatoes, sunflowers, peppers and marigolds....

Obviously the bought plants have bulbs and blooms, but these are MINE....

Trying to get in the habit of taking more pictures for work stuff. An abandoned sunflower bed that is gonna get planted with various squash. Hand weeded with a hori-hori and some shitty knee pads. I also forgot my gloves today

Shuffling around my peppers to make room for the tomatoes I just planted up.
