Question for my corn growing friends. I haven't grown corn in at least 10 years until now. I can feel tassels inside the newest growth. They haven't come out yet, they're a few leaves in. But I see no signs of ears... Am I going to get any corn? Or did I just waste hours and hours of my time...

I have. Doesn't help. I have yet to find anything that helps for no-see-em bites. Just time, patience and self control.

Good news; I caught the gopher. The pullet laid an egg. I'm still itchy as all heck. Made myself bleed on accident with itching. oops. I am out of control Lol. my back is slowly healing. DS is recovering from his crazy bacterial infection. It's hot... I'm a grouch. But seriously the...

I picked cucumbers today. To my surprise there were enough to make a quart jar of pickles! I added some home grown carrots and onions to the mix, now there's a quart+1 pint of refrigerator pickles marinating in the fridge. The no-see-em bites are still very very very itchy. Day 4. I just want...

🤔 That's a different one than what I found... I wonder which one works better. The one I found was from a company called DoTerra. Ingredients:Ylang Ylang Flower, Nootka Wood, Cedarwood Wood, Catnip, Lemon Eucalyptus, Litsea Fruit, Arborvitae Wood essential oils and Vanilla Bean Absolute in a...

I have been meaning to remember to share this book with you guys. It's my go to fruit tree, grapes, and berries pruning guide. My MIL uses it, and I've been using it for the last 10 years. I've had great success using this book and I still reference it every year. ETA: this is a new copy that I...

Looking amazing!!!! I've never had such success with butternut squash as I have this year. I have two plants and I've never seen so many squash! They're loaded and still growing like crazy! A few years ago, I tried to grow and I only got one single squash. Your chickens will likely kill and...

I was an idiot and was wearing shorts. Didn't spray myself with enough deet because it's the first time I've used it this year. I usually use natural sprays. Especially if we're hiking or are out in the thick. Better for the ecosystem. But at Basecamp, before I hose myself off before bed, I...

The sulfur helps prevent rot and, at least for my soil/water it helps with pH. My native pH is over 8... Our water is very hard. I mowed at the property.... OMG I'm so itchy.... So thankful for n95 masks. We had to come home.... That bad after I mowed. Home orchard is the best. Ok, so, no...

Going out to the lake property today, staying until Saturday. Gave everything a deep watering, going to be in the high 90's. I really need to finish my automatic irrigation.... 🤦‍♀️ New nesting box installed yesterday. One hen laid in it already this morning! Woohoo! Beans are already...

I do the same, I use parchment paper and even leave my bread in it when I bake it.

Oh yeah, and next year I'm trying some French melons. A few new pumpkin varieties. New garlic varieties as well. Plus a ton more potatoes and onions. Can never grow too much food.

I was so confused when I saw this. I thought you were talking about my cantaloupe for a second. 😂 I have been able to pull the weeds by soaking the ground for a few hours and then gathering all of the branches that are thread through my clover and pulling. We have loamy sand. When it's dry...

So I got a lot done yesterday, but it was mostly chicken related. Some weird clouds rolled in and cooled it off to the low 80s and I finally got started on my second nesting box. I picked a ton of kale as well. @Smokerbill; kale trees. Apricots are almost ripe!! All of my trees are loaded...

I've tried to grow cantaloupes before, probably 7 years ago. They died, whole plants, probably not enough water. This year I'm growing them and they appear to be thriving. Same with honeydew! Beautiful!!! So does mine! 😂 I harvested a ton of kale yesterday, now they look like palm trees. I...

I get jealous hearing about rain. Any rain. Generally we have no rain here from late May until November. Every now and again we'll get one or two summer thunderstorms, but they don't drop much rain, usually just lightning so everything catches on fire. 🤷‍♀️ DS is improving. Amazing what a...

My post got confused with @WthrLady . Bad timing on my part 😂 I should have loaded the new posts while in draft. My boy is just sick. My brain fog is from a lack of sleep and stress. Possibly getting sick myself, not sure yet. I haven't tried xyzal, yet.

DS is still very sick. I had DH take him to the doctor today. So, he has an ear infection in both ears, eyes are being impacted. He's on antibiotics now. Fever still up at 103 without Tylenol. 😞 This poor kid. I've been so worried that my brain fog is out of control. I worked at a job site...

DS fever would not break with ibuprofen, I had to drive and get Tylenol for him. He was at 104.6.... I was in full panic mode. Within 45 minutes of the acetaminophen his fever dropped to 99.2 and he was happy to eat, walk outside, etc. I have to leave town for work tomorrow, DH is working from...

I use this guide loosely. It's great when i'm being lazy. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/gardening-by-zone There are a few things on my zone that are like "plant this in August" yeah, no. you're dumb. but generally it's a good guide for most plants! However for my zone this...
