This okra plant has become a tree, taller than me. I have to bend it to pick the pods.

Anyone have some tips on raising worms for the chickens to eat? From time to time I find a bunch in the compost piles but when the compost is done they leave.

There are red worms people grow in their basements on compost. Google "worm farming"

Looks like a tiny chance for rain Friday and Saturday, it would be perfect for my food plot I planted the other day.

After seeing your caterpillar, I went out to mow the yard and came back in with this on my arm...I guess I needed a fuzzy too...

Every time I touch a fuzzy caterpillar it's the stinging kind!

I was thinking of turning over one of my grass boxes and fill it with worm friendly stuff and see if they come up out of the ground.

Just catching up...

Had an armored ‘diller plow up my new baby grass that I’ve been watering through this hot dry spell ... so I’m thinking of sitting up for it tonight... but I’m already fading so maybe I won’t make it...

In chicken related news, yesterday I butchered a farm store buff orp cockerel that was terrorizing the girls and beating on our home hatched cockerel ... and also one of the buff pullets is just starting to lay... other than that it’s business as usual in the coop ...which is a good thing

The honeybees here at the house are in full honey making mode from the golden rod that is in bloom now ...so the yard smells a bit like stinky socks depending on the breeze ...

We had deer in the yard tonight... been a while since we’ve seen them... with the green summer they’ve not relied on our yard as much this year...

I’ve been hearing a whippoorwill call each night... seems very late for that, so I’m guessing he’s an old one that wasn’t up for the trip south.. and will just stay put and call the show me state his final resting spot...

Hope all is well with everyone else!

Neighbors on their way into town this morning...

All right, worm calling is in place lets see if I get to play on the Dune movie... I turned over a grass box added some compost to fill it up to the hardware cloth and then added some paper that went through the shredder then wet that down and added some expired cucumbers bits. So we will see if I need to add a thumper or not...

I got a pic of the invisible cat! I couldn't have been more pleased if I had taken one of the Loc Ness monster.....

This was 200' away, shot thru the screen door because if it sees me come out, it disappears.
