You must do a lot of canning?

Would love to! - I have the orange day-lily, some neighbors call it the tiger daylily growing all along the creek at the bottom of the hill. Still the neighbors insist that these plants are poisonous and no part can be eaten…

This is the exact species that I am 'sampling'. Absolutely nothing wrong with it, and since it's an invasive species, we're actually doing some good by consuming it!

I've also eaten some of the Stella D'Oro daylilies flower buds. Nice thing about that one is that it's a continuous bloomer, so always tons of flower buds available.

Good luck, and tell me what you think!!!

We’re in the upper 40’s this morning. So much for climate change which is a joke anyway.

We're just out of a 14-day cold and rainy period, very un-seasonal. Used to be 10 C (50 F) and now it's 25 C (77 F) hot and humid. A good part of the veggies that were already in the ground were wiped out by flooding and slugs. We're replanting beans, cabbage, broccoli, zucchini, peppers... The tomatos stay in the greenhouse because we expect a continued wet year. Also some special bee-oriented bushy plants - one of them has a name like an anime character: Virginia fanpetals.

The ducks don't care, they are having fun anyway.

Soon they will complete the first month of living with us and they are becoming ever more bold and inquisitive. They range over a larger area, go deeper into scary places and when a dog barks at them from the other side of a fence, they go there to see what he's on about.

Time to pack them in and go to sleep, goodnight everybody

Your weather sounds like mine in Canada!

The funniest thing we've seen so far is duck yoga... A duck will stand on one leg, extend the opposite wing and even stretch out the feathers and the end of it. It all happens very slowly so maybe duck Tai Chi is a more fitting name. Never seems to happen when there's a phone around so no photos yet

Yes, I know the stretch you are talking about. I can not balance so good

It's absolutely adorable when they do this.
