What did you do in the garden today?

I sent DH a text saying y'all are telling me to get chicks. No response. LOL

Heres it in action. It spits out the cores and skins from this end and leaves the pulp on the other sideView attachment 2821068heres what it looks like when you take that white piece off.View attachment 2821070the grinding mechanism andView attachment 2821071the salsa strainer attachment. They come with just the pulper attachment. Thats great for tomato juice but not salsa. I bought mine at goodwill but had to purchase the attachment online. I think it was about 30 dollars.

I use a Foley food mill . Easy to use and clean . I also have your type but prefer the Foley .

I have this food mill, it's one of the crank kind. I like it for the hot sauce - it takes out all the seeds. It has different disks for different coarseness/seed sizes.

My dahlias have finally started to bloom the last week and a half - it was a horribly cold and wet start to the year so I was worried they would never get there. I have about seven other varieties that should start blooming in the next week or so. So excited for all this beauty!

We had winds just under 100km/hr yesterday and through the night, so I'm glad I didn't loose the dahlias aside from a side branch off of one plant. The corn (staked up well, of course) survived as well!

This is "Lilac Time" a beautiful lilac dinner plate variety!

This is "Penhill Autumn Shade" - another dinner plate variety

This one is "David Digweed"

And this is the variety "Viking" - a beautiful smaller ball

It’s basically he same as mine @Sueby. But I have to admit OXO products are really great.

No news is good news. Click the checkout button and get those chicks!

 

[Sueby]

DH says 'do it'. If I could trust the hatchery to not send me extra chicks I would, but I highly doubt they'll just send the 3 I order. I don't have room for more than that - heck I don't have room for 3 in the big coop now, but ya know how that goes! I wish I could bring myself to eat them, lol.

I have the dehydrator full of squash chips now. Picked a bunch of peppers. Need to pick some beans too.

Definitely a good year for the Dahlias here. I need to order some dinner plate ones, all mine are on the smaller side at this point. This is the first time I've had the ball ones (I call them lollipop) & I just adore them. Your's are beautiful.
