What did you do in the garden today?

Today, I decided to take down my generic Tycoon tomatoes in my DYI earth box. The generic seeds I got from amazon doesn't have the TYLCV virus resistance that I need to grow tomatoes in my yard. I can tell because the Tycoon seeds, I got from Reimer seeds had a green coating and they are not stunted like the generic uncoated seeds.

I ended up salt brining the green tomatoes that were on the vine. I am debating whether or not to add vinegar. I used 2 tsp of salt to 1 cup of water and each quart took about 5 cups of boiling salt water, so it kind of blanched everything in the Mason jar.

I finished the chicks' upgrade today.

(I did put something under the power strip so it isn't dangling.)
Upon finally moving in, the chicks immediately tested out their wings, and then the roosting bars! They then picked a spot in the back corner to scratch around. I think they are much happier!
Usually there are screw keyholes on the back of those power bars.
 
I had to refocus today. Our local trash company doesn't advertise the yearly free dump days. And if course it's this week. So I spent all day cutting up an old hot tub with the saws all. My hands, back, and feet are toast. I'm covered in grit and exhausted. Definitely overdid it today. But the results are well worth it.

I bought some morel mushrooms yesterday and had some fried for lunch. Sadly I am not up to long walks in the woods. I see one mum from seed is sprouted. I was about to give up on those seeds. I hope we are done on frost now.:fl
We are going back up to Indiana next week to see my in-laws and bury my parents. Definitely going morel hunting while we are there! ❤️❤️❤️
 
The black morels (what I found) come out here first. White ones are a bit later. I'm really hoping I find some white ones in some of the places where I've found them before. I don't have to worry about someone else getting them first, as the spots are on our property. I just have to remember to go look for them!
