What did you do in the garden today?

@oregonkat what wonderful memories you carry your sharing of them is appreciated

I miss her very much and think of her daily. I like to think that she keeps me company in the garden!
@Pasha838 That's a lot of ducks. Do you keep them for meat and eggs or are they pets? I see what you mean about them loving boiled potatoes

I have something in between. Some funny ducks are 5 or 6 years old yet, i will not eat them. The eggs i put in the incubators, when the incubators are full - i begin to eat another eggs.
In the winter my ducks live in one "house", and walk in the greenhouse. In the summer there are cucumbers, in ths winter - this is a place for ducks, they walking there.

Early spring. Ducks begin to walk outside the greenhouse.

It's 0300 and I'm sitting on the patio enjoying the dark, my dogs and and a cup of coffee. I can hear the crickets singing and the grass is damp from rain last night. I love the smell of wet desert.

Today I poured tomatoes in a greenhouse and found 6 big red tomatoes. These are the first red tomatoes this year, the rest are still green.
The rest of the time I walked through the streets of the village with goats. Now I'm going to water the garden.

There is a woman in my tiny town (I would love to call it a village) who walks around with her goat! @Pasha838 are the goats yours? Are you in a village outside Moscow?

Thanks. I just did not have the right photos or cases (I did something else, not in the garden), so I came only when they appeared.

Yes, to be exact, then 50 km from Moscow. The nearest towns are Lobnya and Dmitrov. It`s a small towns, in the north from Moscow.
From here a buses and trains run to Moscow. If i go by train, it takes a little less than an hour (the train often stops). But I rarely go to Moscow, not more than once every six months.
I have 4 goats (girls) and one goat (boy).
