I have to pick the 2 pumpkins tomorrow or Friday because they won't last until October. They are a beautiful bright orange and not extremely big but not mini so I will be making some pumpkin bread.
I had a big beefsteak tomato on the vine that wouldn't ripen and when I finally got into the garden enough to get it, it had fallen off the vine and rotted. I was not happy.
Haven't been out to the garden yet I am still trying to figure out why I cannot get this headache to go away. I'm going to have to get out to the garden today because it's been a while since I was out there. I hope I have some zucchini to pick but with my luck it'll be gone. Something is eating...
For a while I was getting 1 or 2 a day then out of the blue I'd get 3 or 4. More of this month has been bad for egg laying but I got the layer feed they love and I dumped some shredded paper in the coop and now it's been 5 or 6 a day. I have 6 hens that are laying and of course my duck...
I forgot to add the fact that I have gotten tomatoes, blackberries, a few strawberries and green beans and a couple of zucchini. I'm waiting to close down the garden so that I can let the chickens out to eat. I have around 5 -6 pumpkins and a spaghetti squash. Lots of corn too so hopefully I...
I haven't even been out to look at the garden. It's been too hot and the yuck is causing me too many breathing problems and headaches. I'm going out to water it in the morning and I need to take in the recycling stuff. I'm hoping to put the older chicks and cockerel in with the big girls. I'm...
My blackberries have started producing this year. It's amazing how much better they taste versus the store bought and the stuff that so many people pick on the side of the road. I've gotten tomatoes and a couple of zucchini but something keeps eating my zucchini 😥. My corn is still growing and...
My fawn runner hen started laying 3 days ago. I made egg salad sandwiches for dinner and OMG, so good. I don't know if this story is about age but still it's amazing. My youngest pullet to lay was my white leghorn at 13 1/2 weeks.
Yesterday I picked my first zucchini and a half handful of green beans. I found a blackberry and ate it. I went back out and found 4 or 5 more berries so I ate those too. They were the best blackberries I have ever had. I'm up to 17 chickens now. I know I will have to build a bachelor pad as I...
