What did you do in the garden today?
Scrubbed windows today for the first time all summer. I skipped it all summer due to the siding and roofing repairs. Then harvest dust stuck all over. But that's almost complete so the scraping happened today. LOL They were so gross. I even did the chicken house and run and winter windows. I... -
What did you do in the garden today?
We set ours free on the whole acreage. The icelandics take off and head for the north 40 acres, sometimes talking their more stupid little sisters to go with them. The prairie grass over there is 4 feet high (no cattle on it this season). It takes them forever to decide to come home, and you... -

That's about the size of the spiders in my garage. -
What did you do in the garden today?
My strawberries are blooming. I have birds nesting in boxes. The rhubarb is sprouting new leaves as are the horseradish. I have volunteer tomatoes coming up, no frost or freeze yet. -
What did you do in the garden today?
My roosters get that no matter the waterer. -
What did you do in the garden today?
They're useless in the winter here. I prefer a large open hog pan. I can easily see how empty it's getting and it's easy to fill and clean. -
What did you do in the garden today?
HOWLING winds yesterday and today, but the temps are going to be dropping tonight, so finishing the winterizing is a MUST. It took me 3 hours to drain things and put them away and get the thermal covers and waterers out. I'm not mentally ready for the cold. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Nothing done outside except bare minimum livestock care. The pirate bugs have made it absolutely miserable out there. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I can't bake bread with the city water, it has chlorine in it, which stunts the yeast. Certain times of year, up here at the ranch, I struggle too. Well water changes during the seasons, fall and early spring are high in minerals that the yeast don't appreciate. -

@BirdsBeesTrees I get a huge welt when the Asian ones bite, you?? -
What did you do in the garden today?
BINGO. I'm ok with the native ones, but not the orange ones. I got sprayed in the face swatting at one crawling on my cheek, thinking it was a fly out in the barn. I smelled ladybug and ARGH! sigh of relief when I saw it fall and was a bright RED one. Phew. But STINKY -
What did you do in the garden today?
Heck no! I've got the same ID problem, but in reverse! Maybe our delivery guy got the packages switched? -
What did you do in the garden today?
Is it called a cow? I'm trying to figure out this dripping stuff that's coming from the sky. What the hell is it? And where'd the ball of searing fire go? -
What did you do in the garden today?
This time of year, you don't have a choice. It's a race against the end of the list and the weather, and it doesn't care how tired you are. So you keep plugging along. @akroberts1085 -
What did you do in the garden today?
LOL that just gets me through lunch! I plug on until well after 7pm, and even then I'm up and down with baking or laundry, or other weird jobs. Toss in the sewing and weaving, here and there furniture restoration, reorganization, skeet shooting, or range time well, ... you get the picture. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Quick round of housework make the beds, wipe down the bathrooms, laundry, kitchen pick up. Then out to the barns to feed livestock, top stock tanks, load feed, throw hay, medical checks on those that need it. Take care of any machine work/fix it crap that crept up. Seasonal stuff is prepping for... -
What did you do in the garden today?
LOL. Hobbits got it from farmers. 5am is first breakfast here and second rolls around about 830/9am -
What did you do in the garden today?
agree, and harvesting to use only makes it go even more wild. Luckily there are plenty of Germans, Poles, Czechs, and Ukrainians here that LOVE the fresh stuff, so we DO go through a lot of it. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I rearranged all the tomato plants rows today, reset the cattle panels and posts, tilled and turned the planting soil and set loose the hens for grub duty again. I replaced all the surrounding mulch. Tomorrow I'll add alpaca manure I and gypsum and other goodies and take the tiller to it again... -
