The dump truck of dirt is here! *giddy*
#Gardening is a weird hobby. 😜
#GardenSky #AlaskaGardening #SubArcticGardening #OutdoorGardening
My spark of joy today: I'm *finally* ordering the top soil I need for the raised beds & other garden delights. ✨
The late frosts (plural) really did a number on the first draft of my plans this year. Onwards though! :)

It's June. I am on a tight time schedule to get everything planted and growing for my #OutdoorGarden. If I wake up to one more FROST warning I'm going to freakin' lose it!!!

Screenshot of the latest weather alert via AccuWeather for our wider area: "Frost potential for the Souther Interior Saturday morning - Near or below freezing temperatures are expected to impact the Southern Interior late tonight into early Saturday. Areas of frost are expected by Saturday morning. It might be best to wait until after the weekend to plant your garden or cover/protect sensitive vegetation that was already planted, since winter isn't quite over yet."
I have 100 sweet potatoes to plant.
That. was. rude. That was really fucking rude.

#InternationalDayofPotato probably means I need to get my lazy rear in gear, and get my 100 sweet potato slips in dirt today. #GardenSky #Gardening #PlayInTheDirt #PlayOutside #HoeingAintEasy #GrannyHobbies #ForestDwellers #AlaskaGardening #SubarcticGardening #OutdoorGardening #FreshAirDwellers

The slips are in water, the seeds scattered. May they grow & provide for our pollinators. We took heavy fire from the blackbird-sized mosquitoes, but hopefully we gave them as much hell as they visited upon us. /salute

I just learned about this from a YT video:

My favorite part of #gardening is learning about the #traditional and #cultural significance of the methods, plants, and land.

Lily helped me move some wood chips. It is the heart of the seed starting season now. Can't wait to start planting the garden out!

I've started 177 seeds in the past day, and I still need to start hundreds more. Perks of having a big #family = big #garden. 🥰

I've been playing on the Old Farmer's Almanac Garden Planner since last night, and all I need is *checks notes* ...
740 cubic square feet of soil (370 2csqft bgs)
... to end everyone in my neighborhood with my #garden. 😈

I'm noticing almost all my hobbies involve math, studying, and charts of some kind. The color-coding is just me. 😜
