What did you do in the garden today?
Me too, I started that chore but didn't even finish one whole cane. 😂 -

I think those look amazing! HUZZAH for your success! You can totally eat those! -
What did you do in the garden today?
I am not any better. I keep making it worse by trying to exist and do mom stuff. I'm putting ice on it this evening. I should have done that to begin with... I thought I could just wait it out. Nope. Time for some naproxen, ice, and the massage gun thingy. Thank you. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I took a few photos this morning when I picked pole beans. We had them with dinner tonight. My shoulder is still very angry. I could hardly turn out of the driveway today without snagging the tendon and grumbling to myself. So another day of taking it easy. I'm excited about more popcorn and... -

I should be out in the garden doing stuff but I'm lazy today. Tired, feeling defeated by the sun. It hurts to be outside. I messed up and aggravated my shoulder impingement.... so I can't use my right arm today anyway. :( -
What did you do in the garden today?
Something has set my allergies off. Not amused. Started pruning the spent canes from the blackberries this morning. Grapes are almost ready. Tomatoes have a few ripe fruit. I will harvest what I can today for dinner tonight. Bush beans are about to flower! Soon I'll have enough green beans to... -
What did you do in the garden today?
When I try to grow tarragon, it dies. 🤣 It's one of the few things I can't grow very well. I just trimmed back a bunch of mint last night, it was out of control. I could barley see the blueberries. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Fair enough. I would see about making an area to encourage the creature to crap in. I live in suburbia so I asked my neighbor to set up a potty box outside. It fixed my issue for a while until new renters moved in behind us. I asked them to do the same, they replied to me with some not nice... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Same! Even when I was a kid, I would get Virgin bloody marys. When I was pregnant I drank a ton of V8 and canned tomato juice. My secret ingredient to a good bloody Mary is to rim the glass with celery salt, skewer a variety of pickled things; garlic stuffed olives, pickled pearl onions, pickled... -
What did you do in the garden today?
You have a big enough space that the neighbor cat should not be a problem... That probably means they don't have a litter box outside for them. I'm with Rick. Or, if you like your neighbors, ask them about the cats potty box access and let them know about the crap in your garden and the health... -
What did you do in the garden today?
The cell walls of a lot of vegetable fibers get broken when the water is frozen inside. Think about how plants look after a hard frost. The consistency of your veggies and fruits are going to be altered. They won't ever rehydrate to exactly like fresh. At least not the texture. I ate some of the... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I'm going to freeze dry my celery!!! It's almost ready to harvest. Going to cut it all up and vacuum seal it in mason jars. Sure I'm not making bloody marys with it, but soup, salad topper, stuffing, etc. 😁 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Do the hen raised chicks go out to free range? What percentage protein are you using for the brooder raised chicks? I would imagine it has to do with diet. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Similar here, even my cherry tomato varieties are just starting to take off. I'm enjoying the break though. Having to process tomatoes, peppers, squash, cucumbers, beans and berries all at once takes too much time and space. -
What did you do in the garden today?
This was an early fruit year for us as well, I got apricots 3 weeks earlier than usual. I'll have Santa Rosa plums soon, which is weeks early as well. I need to start writing harvest dates down.... 🤦🏻♀️
