I'd never heard of that! I think I might try it.

I saw a video on youtube where a guy has a lot of hidden muscovy duck nests. as he doesn't know how old eggs are he buries them in the garden. he checked and after a month or so there is no trace of eggs and veggies thrive.

Not that I’ve experienced.. it’s just like a seedling plant, if you allow roots to catch up with the top (balance) and fertilize they will do exactly what a tomato plant does.. most people don’t allow roots to catch up with tops, that will stunt the production, they are kinda like the “B Team” ready to help your mater production at midway/late in season, not everyone needs to do this, but its good to LEARN.. it’s another tool in the toolbox..

thank you. only 3 of my yellow pear tomato seedlings survived and I lost the remaining seeds. suckers will help me to get more of them.

How close to the plant do you bury them? I might do that with a few more older eggs I've found. My ducks had a secret nest behind a playhouse. There's 3 or 4 eggs back there. No idea how old they are.

next to the plant.

8 cucmbers

our first for the year.

Do you spray your cucumbers with any pesticides? My cucumber leaves & yellow squash leaves got eaten by aphides.

We're watching the bird feeder live cam at the Cornell Lab in Ithaca New York and the trees and shrubs are all still bare. It was snowing an hour ago. You folks in the eastern part of the US have my boggled sympathy.

On a side note, if you enjoy watching birds at a feeder, check out the Cornell Lab live feeder cam. We leave it on nearly all the time and Mochi (our male geriatric cat) gives it 3 stars! Lets us see birds we never get here like grackles and cardinals.

You can have the grackles! I’ll pack their little bags and send them your way, Mochi is welcome to them all! They are rotten

So it was a fuel on off solenoid and fuse . New part arriving Friday . Jerry rigged tractor to run without it until then . Cost 200$ .

Wow that’s not a long wait for a part, I figured you’d be waiting six months considering all the “supply chain problems “ we have right now.

I cut off the pea plants (peas already harvested) and fed them to my ducks and gees. put some manure on the cleared area (by the fence) and watered. in the late afternoon I hope to till and transplant tomatoes. they can use fence as trellis.

planting some blueberries today and I think raspberries (my shipment is supposed to arrive today). Other than that, nothing much I have split wood to stack before it rains.
