You do the same thing I do! LOL I take pics constantly and this is the only way I can remember what I planted and where.

We are about to get nailed with cold, wet weather again here in Southern California as well. A few of my cucumber seeds have sprouted and almost all of my cantaloupe is up. I planned on a full weekend in the garden but nope, it seems other plans are in the works. Oh well, I will never complain...

Potatoes are supposed to be so easy yet I just can't get them to produce. How much do you water? I can get them to grow greens but they die back too quickly and I may get a handful of tiny potatoes (and I mean tiny). Not sure if I am overwatering, underwatering, or watering inconsistently as I...

I just planted a bunch of scarlet runners and hope to see them take over part of this trellis I just added. Between that and the cucumbers and squash I can't wait to see these covered in full blooms in a few months! I am growing everything vertically this year, even my watermelons. Trying to...

Oh my goodness! Definitely an indoor seed starting day for you at best! Yeah here in SoCal we were hit with a sheet of rain at 5am and we have been pounded ever since. These little guys love being out in the rain when everyone else is hiding inside.

Hands down my favorite treatment is a combination of Tea Tree oil mixed with fractionated coconut oil, and separately apply Aloe Vera. A few topical treatments of each, alternated, for about a week and it will be gone. Works on dogs, cats, humans..... You can finish once you see it is gone with...

I had issues with the squirrels as well, then I got a Mini Schnauzer. lol They hate him, but I love him even more now that he chases them out of the yard all day. I am hoping this is the first year I get one of my nectarines instead of growing them for all the local critters. Netting hasn't...

Marigolds are definitely a favorite of mine too. I also am lucky enough to have Nasturtium grow like a weed here and has been amazing at keeping hornworms away from my tomato plants. They either hate the smell, or it masks the smell of the tomato and they can't find it. Either way, nasturtium...

My girls love when I work in the garden. They chirp and get so excited, they just KNOW that any minute I will be throwing them a worm or grub. My fruit and nut trees are all in bloom, figs are starting to show, sunflowers are waking up, and my first tulip has popped up to say Welcome Spring...

Oh I love this time of year! I also planted cucumber, about 8 varieties lol. My hubby and I decided this year we are doing a "pickle-off." Which is best, Chicago, Boston, Pickling, etc.... adds a little excitement to our garden life. Also planted several eggplants varieties and a ton of squash...

Very nice! I just planted my GreenStalks with strawberries as well! I planted mint in the bottom layer to help keep the rats and mice away at night. Hope it helps!

I have tried growing the glass gems for several years now and they just don't grow for me. Hope you have better luck! I love the idea of them!

Try sprinkling some food-grade DE around the area it was attacked as well. That is why I only use electric zap traps for mice and rats in my garden and around my coop. Everything dies when it gets zapped, including fleas, mites, ticks, etc. That's my biggest fear with dead vermin in my yard...

I have 4 now, and they can be any combination of Black Copper Maran, Blue Maran, Olive Eggers and/or Crested Cream Legbar.

Chicks are here! Today is Day #21, and have 2 chicks, possibly 3 so far. I am not moving her to find out what is going on under there, but time will tell. This is a pic of the first one who has now found the water. The 2nd I have seen before it scurries under mama. Very eggciting!

The move was successful! Broody Judy was moved to her new coop last night. I added 5 more unfertilized eggs, as she was only sitting on one for the last week. She is still on them! Today, I will put her out to poop and eat and drink, and make the switch with the fertilized eggs. So exciting!

That's a good idea!.I'm still on the fence with moving her. She seems content where she is.

Wow! Great info, thanks!! My intent is to build a smaller pen with a dirt floor right next to my existing coop and run. My thought is all the chickens can see and get used to each other at a a safe distance while providing the same environment they will live in when older. I want to provide the...

Thank you!
