Even though it rained a little last night I gave the new planted seeds a shot of water from the hose, then I watered the pepper plants.
I saw tomatoes sprouting from my chicken run compost pile, so I decided to plant butternut squash on top of the pile to see what happens.
Picked a couple...
From what I've picked up, chickens all have coccidiosis in their systems and gain resistance to the local strains. But when their body gets overloaded with it and bloody stuff starts coming out it's time to give them some help. Glad you had the Corid on hand and ready.
I'm pretty sure all the...
I picked a couple pounds of leaf lettuce from the garden this morning and had a big breakfast salad with the lettuce I couldn't fit into the refrigerator.
There's a lot tomato seeds sprouting out of the chicken run compost pile I put out by the garden. That made me think that I'd plant winter...
This morning I noticed lots of tomatoes are sprouting out between the pallet slats on the sides of my compost pile. I threw lots of tomatoes to the chickens over the last couple of years, both grocery store tomatoes and tomatoes I grew, so no telling what kind of fruits the plants will produce...
I planted seeds in the garden yesterday. Bush beans, pole beans, pickling cucumbers and zucchini squash. I still have a 2nd variety of pole bean, my tomato plants, and maybe some butternut squash left to plant. I wasn't expecting to see it raining this morning. Nice!
I really enjoy watching the videos on this Youtube channel. No one talks, they just do country things. A lot of picking stuff and preserving. They are in the mountains of Azerbaijan. If you need to relax, watch the videos...

Ordered my hose nozzles. Got a pair of heavy duty brass twist nozzles that were $7.99, but had a $5 gift card balance from Bing search rewards, so 2 nozzles, 3 bucks and change.
Have you noticed that over the years Miracle Whip has become infused with lots of air bubbles? Same size jar but it's lighter and fluffier. It used to be a substantial spread, but now, not so much. That's a sneaky way to do the shrinkflation thing.
Pickling cukes are planted and zucchini squash is planted. A seven foot row of cukes and five hills of squash. I'll keep the healthiest plant from each hill and train them up a fence post.
All that's left is tomatoes, maybe some Blue Lake beans, and maybe some butternut squash. I want to be...
When my chickens were laying at their peak there were some weeks I was eating 3+ dozen eggs a week. When I had my cholesterol tested it was a little high, as it normally is, but the ratios were in a healthy range.
Bean seeds are watered in. Tried out the new garden hose I needed to be able to reach the new garden bed. HomeDepot deal. Still need another nozzle and I'll be set. I might plant more seeds today, might not...
They were trying to roost next to the big girls yesterday evening, but I heard squabbling as I walked away so I don't know if they got chased off or not.
I was walking barefoot on the ground when planting the beans and the soil felt kind of hot. Perfect! Still need to water them in, then' I'll move on to tomatoes or squash or cukes.
Creating palm plantations destroys acres and acres of rain forest. To me, that's what's really bad about those products. I don't think the sugar is unhealthy, nor do I believe palm oil (a saturated fat) is all that bad for you in moderation. It's the ecological damage that's bad for you, me and...
