    Temperature dropped to 78 degrees but the humidity is at 94% so it's still hot & rainforest muggy outside. 🥵 Can't win for losin'.... 🙄

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Rain! Glorious rain! We have received about an inch. Everything around us got way more... But the ridge our house is on always splits the clouds so stuff goes north or south of us. However, the rain did drop the temperature down to 68 for an hour or so. Glorious! It went back up into the...

    I just saw local weather for the weekend. I already knew it was supposed to rain on Thursday... But apparently that cold front is going to drop us into the 90s during the day (big whoop... Still hot) and into the upper 60s at night! :celebrate Of course it's only for a couple of days. It'll be...

    Did you try dunking her belly in ice water?

    I use them for scrubbing out animal water troughs... Likewise, I keep one in the kitchen too. I also make my own soap so I'll cut up smaller loofah to put in the soap mold and pour the soap around it.

    Well, we got thunder but not a drop of rain... :th On a side note, I found a hidden nest earlier today. Had 2 dozen eggs in it. Had to throw them all in the compost since I didn't know how long they had been there. Also, they would have been in the baking sun in the afternoons. So yeah... Not...

    Hey! Guess what I did today??? FINALLY got around to watering the garden! :celebrate I noticed a young witch hazel seedling was dying off due to lack of rain. Can't have that.... So I got my butt down there and watered. Picked about 8 tomatoes... There's more but that was all I could carry...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    About 20 years ago, our kids called me at work and said "there's an ostrich in our yard." I thought they were playing around... But when I got home, sure enough... There was an emu pacing the fence. We called the sheriff's Dept who accused my husband of being drunk. They apologized when the...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Watered the plants up by the house... Stuff in the garden probably desperately needs watered... It's been too hot to go down there. Everything might even be dead for all I know. I know it's terribly overgrown. So far, local meteorologists are saying that the heat dome is likely to persist around...

    This is my little torti... She's absolutely neurotic. She gets bad separation anxiety and MUST be near me at all times. I adopted her from the animal shelter. She was taken from her mama at 5 weeks old. I'm convinced that is the root of her neurotic behavior. She pees on anything on the floor...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I walked out in the pasture tonight... Any place I've mowed, the grass is now dead because of lack of rain. The portions where I didn't mow are still green... We need rain badly...

    BT is a natural bacteria called Bacillus Thuringiensis. It causes worms and grubs to basically stop eating and they die. Since SVB larva drill inside a hollow squash vine and eat the plants from the inside out, normal pesticides don't get to them. You can find SVB larva inside your plants by...

    Review by 'TJAnonymous' in article 'Almost Country Coop'

    Very lovely design. I like the thought you put into keeping your chickens from being bored. Lots of variety in this coop... A couple of questions/observations... 1. Most critters can tear through chicken wire like it's tissue paper. That's why most on BYC will suggest hardware cloth instead...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Made some sun tea today with pineapple rind, lemon verbena, and some holy basil. 😋 Also dug up a bunch of golf ball sized potatoes for a roast we cooked for dinner. Haven't really spent any time in the garden. It's terribly overgrown with weeds again. 🙄

    I bought 2 of these from Amazon... One for olive oil and the other for avocado oil. You can use them as a sprayer or to pour your oil... They work awesome....

    Yes... I've been trying to get it to grow around here but haven't been successful yet. I want to grow it for the same reason

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My pink lemonade blueberry is dying. Not sure why exactly but I suspect it's the intense heat. It's planted in a large mineral tub. Maybe it's getting root rot or perhaps the sun is causing the roots to heat up too much. Not sure... It's about 3 yrs old and never had a problem with the hot temps...

    Picked a bunch more tomatoes and green beans today, along with a green pepper and one pickling cuke. Made 4 pints of salsa and 1 pint of crushed tomatoes. In the water bath now. Got a bunch of fresh mangoes for $5 at the store. Chopped them up and put them in the freezer. Same with some...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    This heat dome is expected to stick around at least until August. Ugh... Two more weeks (at least) of triple digits every single day. 🥵 I had to move my lemon tree... The heat and sun was simply too intense. Leaves were sunburned and it lost all its baby fruit (marble sized). I moved it under...
