    What did you do in the garden today?

    The plan through to Monday (which may or may not happen) is to cut some more herbs. Treat some buckets with DM. Move some planter buckets into the new housing area. One of the flocks will be moved to new housing. I plan to do some (I don't know what the words are) planning so that I can...

    Oh jerryse - I am so jealous! Next year I must plant at least 50-100 tomato plants! (This year, I had cut back to 8 plants? And the animals and helper are eating every single tomato!)

    Despite just eating some food, I'm salivating over the deliciousness of your post! Would you recommend using the crockpot for making tomato sauce? I've always done stovetop. This year, the animals and helper are eating all the bounty that is coming in. I haven't even gotten one tomato for me...

    I don't think my chemistry teacher ever talked about food and chemistry. :) I have two watermelons left in the garden. The other two were donated to the chickens by my helper. ** The cold weather is helping my kale grow and the potatoes leaves are wilting. A lot of stuff wilting due to the...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Congrats on being caneless! I am so looking forward to next year and having a huge garden! This year was mostly in containers. Some things thrive in containers and other things don't do so well. I have been blessed that I have had peppers, tomatoes, greens, and fruits to give to the...

    Stick the branch in the ground and water it. Might grow into a tree! Mine did last year. Gave me 3 apples this year. Not many, but hey, it was a freebie tree. :) Is the fence mendable?

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I am beginning to feel like a personal chef for my animals! Pick the fruits and the veggies. Chop the fruits and the veggies. Feed the fruits and the veggies to the animals. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat! I started sprouting some beans. Doing an experiment to see if the animals will eat the...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I have the rain, the fog, and the chills here! Going down (after animal clean up - yeah, I know I am slow today) to pick fresh veggies and herbs for dinner tonight. Some recently potatoes were poking up through the dirt saying, "pick me, pick me!" Nope. Way too soon little guys. Many of my...

    I had to protect my tomatoes (I have about 2 or 3 that are ripe and ready for picking) from Chester - the huge cockerel. He was eyeing that tomato plants and I could hear him trying to figure out how to get into the tall planter to get to my very nice looking tomatoes! I eyed my watermelons...

    Picked up another peach pit from my chicken pasture! Yep, I'll be planting that baby next spring! Maybe sooner if I can get my greenhouse up for the purpose of gardening. Lol - there was talk at the breakfast table of putting up the greenhouse as a temporary shelter for turkey poults to hang...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Delicate is a great squash, serving size one. :) Have you added crushed eggshells or diamatrous (sp?) earth to your soil? I mix in the crushed eggshells regularly. Kills the vine borers! AND other bugs that live in the soil. Plant fruit trees from organic fruit seed. Takes a few years...
