What did you do in the garden today?

[WthrLady]

I haven't been able to keep up with egg demand here. I have 7 regular customers and another 3 or so that get eggs every now and then and 1 that wants them when they are in town.
I finally had to make a list and when I get a dozen or 2 I offer them to the next person on the list. But at least 3 of these customers are used to getting multiple dozens every week! That's not happening this winter!

And all my customers disappeared. And NO ONE wants to pay fresh egg prices after having 98 cent walmart eggs.
My girls never slowed down this year either, of course.

I guess I am going to respond with a question for you @WthrLady and all. Is anyone freezing their eggs?
I think I am going to start. I usually have plenty takers for free eggs and with this pandemic it has made me feel good to share when I can with those I think could use a boost... but
Doc told DH he needs to Quarantine for 14 and I am pretty sure that means me too? Just for safety. I am positive we will be negative on our tests but this certainly puts a spin on things.

OH yes!
I make quiche and freeze it. I make scrambled eggs and freeze those. Plop whole eggs in ice trays and freeze those for baking. I make breakfast sandwiches and freeze those.

The trick is not cooking them beyond recognition as eggs, and letting them cool 100% before freezing.

Yes, aloha kakahiaka gardeners!
We are enjoying a light rain today too! Our temps are pretty much perfect and all is well in the land of me. I'd like to get out and do some trimming. My Claradendrom is a fast grower and our palms look shaggy, plus we have leaves everywhere! I can clean out the plantings under the Kukui tree.
Stay well all!

That is some good information to know when I inevitably have "too many" laying chickens for myself and my husband!
