    Go to the chiropractor. Go to Costco. I hope I have time to weed the bean row.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The purpose of the buckwheat is to keep the weeds at bay. It sprouts quickly, has decent sized leaves right away, and thus shades out the weeds. If it flowers, that would be great for the honeybees. It doesn't fix nitrogen, and doesn't tolerate frost at all, so I don't have to worry about it...

    Deer have taken all the leaves off my hostas. The plants are about 10 feet from the front porch.

    Your tagline, "Finding success by learning from failure" makes me think of a book I recently read. Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Highly recommended!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Just as a cover crop. The first frost will kill it. If it blooms, so much the better! The honeybees can visit the flowers.

    We got this much: 10 quart jars. They hold a quart if filled to the rim, so this isn't really 10 quarts. :) The bucket of strained honey weighed 36 pounds.

    Tonight is the last cool(ish) night. Tomorrow starts the heat wave, with incoming humidity. Widget, please get over being broody! I don't want to worry about you in the broody breaker crate when it's 96°!

    Songs that make your skin crawl.

    Jesus Christ Superstar isn't really a musical... it's billed as a rock opera. I've seen it performed live onstage, and it was incredible.

    Helpful hints for building coops

    I have my garlic drying out on the porch. When we need garlic, I go out and grab a bulb, brush it off, and bring it inside. It will take a few hours to clean it all and get it ready to store. That's ok, because it means we'll have plenty of garlic.

    Our Backyard Bee Journey!💗🐝

    This is the third summer. We got bees in May of 2023. This was our first harvest of honey! We gave them the same frames back after harvesting. We figured they'd like the honey and clean up the mess I made cutting off the caps with a serrated knife. :oops: There is a phrase we'd heard at the...

    Is this rude?

    Here in Michigan, "yes please" and "no thank you" were what were drilled into my head. Ma'am, Sir... not so much. Very interesting. I would not have known that I was being rude if I didn't say Ma'am/Sir down south.

    Watching hens with baby chicks is just so... sweet and special. I'm telling Widget that next spring I will get her some chicks. Of course, I told her that last year. And I have no idea if she'd be a good mother or not.
