    What did you do in the garden today?

    I went to the garden, saw a couple little tiny cabbage worms on my kale. Before I could get my sprayer out we got a huge downpour. Temps dropped into the 50s overnight, and even more rain for two days. Figured my kale would be chewed to nothing by the time I got back down there to spray. Nope...

    How did you get those husks off? A friend of mine drives over them with her car, lol. Says they're too hard to get off any other way, but if you have a better way ill pass it on to her.

    "To err is human" As humans we all make mistakes, get distracted, don't feel like doing more than a half assed job, etc. I think I'd trust a machine to put my vehicle together more than any human being. Lol

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Pulled one of the huckleberry bushes. Not because it was done fruiting, it was in full bloom for another round of berries, but I needed to start getting manure in the beds. Doing a lot of sifting of compost for fall planting, and building new compost piles for spring planting. The new garlic I...

    Yeah, I have to keep my plant in shade. It only gets an hour or two of morning sun. Even indoors it doesn't like direct sun, gotta keep it away from the windows.

    I bought a Stevia plant years ago that I have to bring in to overwinter. Thought it would be a good idea to cut back on sugar in my tea and coffee. So I tried brewing the tea with stevia leaves, nope. It was sweet alright, but that taste was enough for me to go cold turkey on the sugar in my...

    When I had a lot of lumber delivered from home depot it came on a semi. Twice. Second time I made them drop the load at the top of my driveway and use a skid to bring it down cuz their driver was horrible the first time. Took out a huge cedar tree trying to back up, sheesh!

    I love decorating for xmas, never thought of decorating the garden with Xmas lights though. Now that you've planted that seed in my head, my fall/winter garden will look pretty and have a little extra warmth! Lol (my husband is going to hate you for planting that idea! Ha ha)

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Fertilized the fall garden, which is growing beautifully, thank goodness. Ordered some new Italian garlic to try, will plant it and my regular garlic and we'll see which one I like best. Someone mentioned here that garlic helps keep voles away, so am over planting every bed in hopes of chasing...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Aaargh! Found aphids on my turnip greens, broke out the neem oil. Never had aphids here in all my years of gardening. Thought I was well prepared with a battery powered sprayer I had bought earlier in the year, nope, that durn thing doesn't fit any kind of bottle i have around here. So hand...
