What did you do in the garden today?
I restarted my pumpkins! Finally!! Did it on Friday. @Justagalwithchicks roly polies are my arch nemesis... DE helps and the organic slug and snail bait pellets. They murdered a lot of my pumpkins that I tried to start from seed. Still fighting the gophers.... It's a little insane. I keep... -
Best varieties of garlic you've grown in zone 9a
I'm getting close to harvest. There's some fat stalks in there. I'm very curious to see what did best. -

All these posts about rain over the last few weeks... We haven't had rain since April. While I don't envy the tornados and flooding... I do wish we got rain in the late spring and summer like other parts of the US. Send me rain! 😭 It was in the 90s all week here. Today I will start more... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I'm tired. Watered more. Pulled purslane... Lots of it... Found that I have so so so many tomatillo volunteers. I told DH I didn't need to start any. I was right! 😁😜 Caught another gopher. That's 5 this week. RZR and toy hauler are at the lake property for the summer. I finally shoveled all... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Watering.... And more watering, I need better sprinklers that attach to my hose. It takes time.... A lot of time, to water deeply in all the beds, and the orchard, and the pool clover patch. Days, if I can't dedicate a whole day to moving the hose around. Still haven't started the new... -

I got all 10 small chickens to bed in the chicken coop today. One tried to go to sleep in my pant leg. One on my shoulder, one on my back, one in my lap. 😂😭 You can't sleep on Mommy. They cried and cried. No. More. Chickens... In the shed! Yay!!! Now I just need MIL to take her 6 away. This is... -

Did you decide to build that with his money? I always tease my husband and tell him "you want it? I'll do it... But you're gonna pay for it."😜 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Thank you guys. It was a labor of love. It was delicious. Her feathers were cherry American crusting buttercream icing, a vanilla cake, and the filling icing was a cream cheese Italian meringue buttercream. I cheated and used extracts(emulsions) for the frosting flavors. But it's all from... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Oh yeah, I still haven't started pumpkins.... I will try to do that tomorrow evening. I have been too busy with chickens and gophers. 🥴 And work.... Lots of billable work so I haven't had free time. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Did somebody say.... Blackberries?! I can hardly wait to start harvesting... 😁 I forgot to show off the chicken cake I made my DS for his birthday. It's the most impressive thing I've ever crafted in my entire life. First time carving and I feel like I actually nailed it. , 😀 I have never piped... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I'm behind on the thread. No way I'll be able to catch up on so many pages. 😂 Garden is coming along. Yesterday I removed suckers off of tomatoes and attached the ones that are large enough to their stakes. I watered things, caught a gopher, set more traps. My zucchini are putting on their... -

I watched their video of that thing in action and I absolutely could not stifle my laughter. Between the flopping and his descriptions. 🤣 -
What did you do in the garden today?
That's me right now with the strawberry popcorn and my moon and stars watermelon. 🤣 I finally have a few tiny sprouts that bugs are trying to take out. I have to put a lot of DE around tender sprouts. Between the slugs, snails, earwigs and isopods... I'm fighting all through the season. -
What did you do in the garden today?
No. I made them out of plywood. I think that even if they were vented, my coop stays pretty warm so I doubt it would change anything. My two that go broody are breeds that are known to be. Especially the marans. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I did this with the hose this year. DS was very concerned with the "raw chicken" I was touching and exposing🤣🤣🤣 he had never seen a bald chicken belly. He thought it was raw chicken and told me I needed to I wash my hands 🤣 I had to explain that it wasn't raw chicken. It was pretty comical. The...
