    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    I just keep them piled up in the box, inside on the kitchen counter. They don't need any light to ripen. They create ethylene gas that speeds up ripening, and the box sort of traps the gas. Works for me.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Just right if you bought all new materials. But I'm used to scavenging cull lumber from Home Depot for 70% off for most of my projects.

    I think it's good to disrupt chickens' lives every once in a while. It'll make them appreciate free ranging all the more.

    I guess that's a lot less expensive than buying a pre-built shed. Good job!

    Close to 80 here. It's always hotter on this side of the highway. Got all the electrical stuff back in place. Looks good!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    When I was a little kid cracking black walnuts with a hammer and picking out the meats with a nail was a winter day project for me and my grandpa. Sit in the cellar and crack walnuts with maybe a sweet potato or two cooking on top of the wood burning stove. Good memory. The walnuts eventually...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I think that for a lot of people taste buds and sense of smell become less effective the older you get. Me included.

    You are very welcome! I did a little more brush painting around some electrical stuff I masked off before I used the spray painter. Had to remove some screws to pull a few things away. I'll put them back in place when the paint dries. Now it's just going to be a little painting at a time, here...

    I got all the window trim primed except for the back two. Too high for the step ladder and I didn't feel up to climbing up the extension ladder today. The existing window trim color is dark gray and I'm painting them white. The rest of the trim is dark brown. This is the main house color...

    Alright! See you at the Onalaska feed store at 1. That's the store you're talking about, right? Premium Quality Hay&Feed, Leonard RD?

    How about 1:00? That'd give me time to do some painting.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I pulled 15 pounds of tomatoes from the garden this morning. I'm not sure what variety they are because they're from saved seeds. They don't look quite like Roma tomatoes, too pear shaped I think. Whatever they are, the plants have definitely produced well. Most of these are from six plants...

    Thanks for the recipe @ValerieJ . There were 15 pounds of tomatoes waiting for me in the garden this morning. Plus I have around 12 pounds ripe that I need to do something with.

    I got the chickens all locked up early in their secure run. The feeder was about empty so I dumped what was left into a couple of half gallon yogurt tubs and soaked it with water. That treat got them all to come into the secure run so I could shut them in. Refilled the waterer too. The yogurt...

    It feels pretty good getting that part of it done. Maybe I'll finish the trim this weekend, other than the really high stuff I'll leave for my son. It's all paintbrush work from here on out. What do put inside the stuffed tomatoes and peppers?

    I can put the airless paint sprayer away now. I went up and down the ladder all around the house and finished painting the siding. Trim next. Someday. LOL I'll probably remove all the masking from the windows and skirting today if I have the energy.

    Preserving Your Harvest

    Looks great! Do you leave the skins on the tomatoes? Can you double stack pints in that big pot in the background of the picture? Salsa is one of the major food groups, fer sure! I put a couple of tablespoons on my morning eggs, so I'm going to need around 50 pints for the coming year, another...
