Made some sun tea today with pineapple rind, lemon verbena, and some holy basil. 😋
Also dug up a bunch of golf ball sized potatoes for a roast we cooked for dinner. Haven't really spent any time in the garden. It's terribly overgrown with weeds again. 🙄
I bought 2 of these from Amazon... One for olive oil and the other for avocado oil. You can use them as a sprayer or to pour your oil... They work awesome....
My pink lemonade blueberry is dying. Not sure why exactly but I suspect it's the intense heat. It's planted in a large mineral tub. Maybe it's getting root rot or perhaps the sun is causing the roots to heat up too much. Not sure... It's about 3 yrs old and never had a problem with the hot temps...
Picked a bunch more tomatoes and green beans today, along with a green pepper and one pickling cuke.
Made 4 pints of salsa and 1 pint of crushed tomatoes. In the water bath now.
Got a bunch of fresh mangoes for $5 at the store. Chopped them up and put them in the freezer. Same with some...
This heat dome is expected to stick around at least until August. Ugh... Two more weeks (at least) of triple digits every single day. 🥵
I had to move my lemon tree... The heat and sun was simply too intense. Leaves were sunburned and it lost all its baby fruit (marble sized). I moved it under...
I'd love to share, but I don't have one. It's all in his head... He never measures anything. It's a dash here. Pouring oh so much there.... 😂 But it always turns out amazing. The man has an incredible gift when it comes to cooking but he refuses consider making his genius into something commercial.
It's sooooo hot today. It reached triple digits (heat index) before 9:30 am. 🥵 I spent a good chunk of the morning making extra preparations for the animals. The ducks always muck up everyone's water so I placed extra water buckets and bowls in hidden places so hopefully the chickens and goats...
I can relate to some degree... I freeze dried EVERYTHING last year. Tons of stuff across every food group. But I've found that I rarely go back and use it. I've put the fruit in smoothies. I also use the freeze dried corn in my very awesome salmon salad... But outside of those, I just haven't...
I hate this time of year. Miserable... This isn't even the heat index either. 🥵🥵🥵 The Weather Channel app is even hotter with most days breaking triple digits.
Chicken patient update -
Red finally managed to release a very large poop... I'm happy for that progress. I've been putting Flock 911 in her water which should help with that...
The tumor under her beak is getting much bigger. I am covering it with Ivermectin paste twice a day and also...
Many states are now beginning to offer ivermectin tablets over the counter... I'm in Arkansas. They approved for OTC in March but it didn't take effect for 90 days. I still haven't seen any available yet in stores but it should be coming soon. Here's the states below -...
