My rooster has an issue w me but I never considered it might be my flip flops 🤔. It’s so bad I’ve told him he’s coming for dinner soon. My dh has started beating me to letting them out in morning (supposed to be my job). Since he has on overalls and boots he doesn’t care. I can even bring...
I did very little bc either Im getting a cold or allergies acting up.
Could my sinuses miss the daily rain? 😑
I sprayed tomatoes again and was trying to take a pic of the lil black worms to identify correctly but I squashed it. :/
The neem oil does seem to be keeping numbers down but if it is...
I think I need to plant 6 okra plants next year instead of 3. Just one okra at a time isn’t cutting it.
My yard long beans didn’t die!! Was surprised by these this morning.
Sprayed my tomatoes w more Neem oil. Praying the worms I killed yesterday weren’t army worms. 😬
I think the next batch...
I found small black worms on my beefsteak tomatoes so I hand picked most then sprayed. I also did more thinning out and I cut the zinnias crowding them. I fight mold all the time and if there’s not good air flow they are gone in days
I finished the old fashioned sweet pickles. I had 1 that didn’t seal so put in fridge.
Everything else is growing nicely. We are getting showers only ever other day now.
I hand pollinated these gerbera daisies I’ve had inside. I would love these in every room!
I found some more Rose of Sharon...
I finish the old fashioned pickles yesterday. I will be picking limas soon. I guess none of my yard long beans can up. :/. Or maybe they did and the month of rain killed them.
Speaking of clover, I would always know what the surrounding farmers used as cover crop bc red clover etc would pop up in clumps in my yard. I love clover
In the middle of making my old fashioned sweet pickles and everything feels off bc instead of starting at night, I had to start during the day. I figure overnight is 7/8 hours? I never had to worry w time when I began the process at night!
It didn’t rain yesterday!
I need to do some weeding...
We had a casualty w our young chickens. One darted off when dh was putting them up. I took flashlight and walked around peeping but it didn’t come back. Not here this morning either. We hatched and raising these for family member. They are taking all the hens when bigger.
I found a hornworm...
I tried to cut off some of the suckers on the beefsteaks. On some I have tomatoes growing on them and just couldn’t cut them.
Seeing if I can get these to root.
I tied up my beefsteak tomatoes. These have stood up to the daily rain nicely.
I tied up Lima beans and picked more cucumbers.
No hornworms. No scat. No nothing. The chickens really put a dent in their population.
Almost thru w the back trellis.
I put the young chicks in w teenagers so I could clean their box. They just stared at me- Get me out of here! 😂
Since it’s clear skies it should rain today 😂
What ever forecast that said the rain would let up in July was wrong. Since beginning of June we’ve had rain almost every single day...
We are still getting rain, storms really, every day. My zinnias have succumbed to a mold and the lemon tomatoes some kind of fungus.
The beefsteak have gotten over their dramatic stage and need to be suckered.
Will have okra soon.
These vining limas you have to tie up. I thought they hand...
