Wait, you're going to put seeds in outside this week?

Edit: Omg, okay, I forgot they were PEAS. Nevermind. I'm tired, okay?

I just planted peas inside today. I'm an idiot.

I always plant my peas inside, they never seem to come up otherwise.

So... I grow a diversity of things, and usually just throw lots of different things into the compost and soil, turn it all together, and hope for the best.

Same here. I did a soil test about 5 years ago. I took a sample or 2 from each corner and several of the ground level beds. I mixed it all together then sent the sample off for analysis. I doubt the soil chemistry changes much from one end of the yard to the other.
I bought the soil pH metre to check on my own more often. I use it mostly near the house and garage foundations because cement and concrete can leach nutrients from the immediate soil. For less than $20, you can get a baseline analysis and go from there.

I have eggs everywhere. This weekend I used a dozen, gave away 8 dozen and still have 7 dozen in cartons, ran out of cartons and now just a big bowl full.

Sounds like my egg dilemma. Good to know I'm not the only one! Like the quilt, too. Wish I knew how to do that.

Well, the teen chicks did it again. It's a personal best for them. Got home from work and found they have made themselves a pool this time. All the shavings (all of it wet) were shuffled to the other end of the brooder and with the 'pool' located around the turned over waterer and feeder.

Not exactly what I wanted to take care of after just getting home and personally I'm beginning to think they know it and do it for kicks, silly birds.

Oops.
I pulled away from the curb and accidentally knocked over Crabby's garbage can.
I hope it doesn't happen again in the morning when I have to leave early.

Blame it on the wind.

I was going to start the peas in starter pots that you just plant in the ground, but the neighbor has put his in last week already, and they are about 2 inches high already... So I figured, may as well... Would this be un-advisable? I can put them in pots... I have got to start my cukes, toms, waters, cants, peppers... potatoes and carrot I will put direct in ground or planters. I grew carrots in planters last year and the year before so they'd come in fat and short. Tasted sooooooo good. LOL.

Blame it on the wind.

She sent her son out to pick it up. The can is even closer to my truck now.

I grow green beans, sugar snap peas, and cucumbers on the fence that surrounds my garden. It makes harvest easier and it frees up a lot of spance in the garden for other things.
