    Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

    Guess I haven't mentioned chicken fever hit and I got 6 new pullets last weekend. I was actually wanting brown egg layers, ended up with more neutral colored girls. 🤪 2 Mystic marans, 2 F1 Zombies and 2 F1 Blue Olive Eggers. I haven't a clue about breeding designations, but I guess If I...

    I would have thought your area has a bit more warm weather for peppers. I haven't planted peppers after moving back here from TX in 2016. Tomatoes are almost done. I hope they all finish. I might just pull and hang the plants before it starts rainy cold weather. My dry beans are molding a bit...

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Happy 🍂🍁🍁🍂🍂Fall, or Spring, depending on where you live. This past weekend the fever hit, and I acquired 6 new pullets, 3 - 4.5 months old. They won't be laying for about 6 weeks or more. 2 Mystic marans, 2 Zombies, and 2 Blue Olive eggers. I will be thrilled when the first eggs are laid, and...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Picked what I think are the last of the green beans, picked dried bean pods to shell out, last of the cukes before retiring them, and lots of kale and collards for DH to take to work. I am out of freezer space and quart jars. Tomatoes are almost finished. Will box ripen, then make sauce later...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I wonder if a hydrogen peroxide drench would work? I know it works on root maggots. My brother once told me that bleach will kill nematodes.

    I am getting garden fatigue, if that is the term for "it's producing so well, I don't have anymore freezer space or canning jars." Now with just the two of us most of the meals, it doesn't make sense to have a huge garden anymore.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Picked the first ripe grapes yesterday, which is a huge win. In past years, the birds and raccoons got them. All safe, so far, with organza bags and an electric fence, and 2 cats. Thinking of bagging all my apples next season. Lots of worms in them and falling fruit now. Still picking tomatoes...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    What are the Golden brown ones? I see black beans, which I haven't tried. My plants are at the yellowing stage, but they need to hurry up. Stopping the water on them.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Keep an eye on the discoloration. They can get blight or other tomato related diseases.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I sympathize with you. On top of a boot on this broken foot last week, other knee is hurting. Can hardly get everything done with limited mobility. Also have to have my orthotics adjusted. I'm hard on them. Getting old is not for sissies.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Crutches would be hard to juggle with trying to carry stuff, and waterhoses, and stairs....good thought, though.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    Well, I did think about it, but we live in 2 story house, on the upper floor, and my yard, garden is not very wheelchair friendly. I manage to hobble around some, but have to be careful not to overdo. Thanks for the suggestion, though.

    What did you do with your flock today?

    I cannot go outside. Broke my right foot 3 days ago, and this will take 6 weeks to heal. No driving, either. My garden and girls are calling me.....

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Nothing whatsoever. I broke my foot 3 days ago so I'm housebound in a boot. 🤕 I do have some help, especially with watering and harvesting things. I missed 2 days and the zucchini multiplies like they're rabbits. So happy to have lovely tomatoes this year, bound for the sauce pot, and BLTs. My...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Last season was the first time I'd dug and stored them. I had lost most of them the season before, from a very cold and wet winter, which rotted the bulbs. Most of these I bought from a local seller last year. I may not dig them this year, but put a shelter over the bed so it doesn't get so wet...
