What did you do in the garden today?

[igorsMistress]

I can't do the sugar that real lemonade needs, plus lemons, omg the cost of lemons.

I have SO MANY LEMONS. It’s ridiculous, I’m going to be juicing for days!

@Elyrian1 I hope your dad is ok! Congrats on the new land though.

Seen a couple of leaf tips poking up from the garlic I planted about ten days ago.

Dammit i forgot the garlic AGAIN. I hate this mental fog I got going on lately. Hopefully this shot in the neck fixes the pain and I can start thinking and getting around better than I have been the last month. I really need a full day to do JUST garden stuff... oh who am I kidding, I need a friggin week and id still be 2 weeks behind.

Getting old sucks, getting a shot IN the neck bone sucks harder, they have to put it right under the artificial disk/flapper/kanuten slapper thingie dingie in there holding my melon sized head on top of my shoulders, which means thru the cartlidge or whatever the call it between 2 vertebrea, and then a very intense pressure like pain wave as the shot goes in. Your eyes water and you see stars, and you do it twice because they have to shoot it on each side, but hopefully if it works, in a few days, I will be in a lot less pain hopefully for another 6 months or so which is how long the last one lasted.

Last year I split the turkey along the back bone and breast bone . Solved the too big problem . I plan to do it again . Used a bone saw out of my deer processing kit .

I usually get the ones that are tied up in smaller packages, the turkey meat, i think it's light and dark weighs about 3 to 5 lbs and is in like a rope bag. Butterball sells them. I'll smoke those with a hickory / mesquite smoke and make them into a turkey alfredo with a ton of sauce on it and oh so good !! it taste much better the second day as the smoke flavor has time to infuse into the noodles and sauce too.

Elbow room!!! YAY! How far away is it from where you are now?

Sending positive waves for your dad.

Thanks! It's just under an hour from here, but a little closer to hubby's work.

I'll take all the happy energy I can get headed his way! He's not all that old... but also not young anymore.

We butchered 18 chickens last Sat. Aged them on ice, today was the day I seasoned them, and vacuum sealed them. We split them in half and vacuum seal each half, so 36 halves. But had to start and stop the process about 3x today bc of various things, so only just finished the last one a few min ago! Each chicken ( 2 halves) got a different seasoning.

Found an alive praying mantis!! On the sunny brick Wal. Looking pretty ragged, but what a bug! Still alive in November!!

Kohlrabi in the garden:

Mustard going strong and spinach too (bed behind the mustard).

I ordered seeds for 2023!

@Acre4Me wow! I’m impressed I can’t process more than 2 chickens in 1 day. It kills my back.
I found a recipe for a pumpkin jam. Now if I can just find some pumpkins I’m going to try it!
I was done in Poplar Bluff the last 2 days sanding floors.

Before

After. I still have to go around all the edges and the spots in the middle were too low/ uneven for the industrial orbital sander to get.
