What did you do in the garden today?

Just found some frozen minnows in the freezer. This is in addition to the frozen crawdads leftover from a boil. Going to make a nice slurry for the garden with them.

I just wanted to say that every time I see your name I have Carly Simon in my head. (Which is just fine with me!)

I use cream in my coffee. When I pot it in it drops, then makes clouds in it when it comes back to the top. I hear it in my head every morning lol.

Reseeded my containers for lettuce. Hopefully they won't die this time. I won't be transplanting them this time.

The dead koi that I threw in a tub with water and sugar look and smell nasty. It should have more of a compost smell. Its been in the water for at least a month going on two. I saw a You Tube video of a guy recommending leaf mold to break down the fish fertilizer. I just threw some in, not sure if it will help..........

Sounds nasty too. Have you considered just digging a trench, pouring it in and then covering it back with dirt and planting next to it?

Hello, I’m back, because my Longan is suffering, and I bet some of you know your way around trees better than I do.

Top picture is the back side of leaves, while bottom is the front side.

Yes, I agree with @TJAnonymous that this is blight. I can tell by the photo that these are still fairly young trees…What has the weather been like in your area* and how long ago did you notice this?

Did a whole bunch of weeding today. The garden was muddy but not horrible.

(Well, actually, I hung out in the garden while the chickens pulled up every weed they could find!)

Weeding has never been easier!

Has anyone ever planted seeds saved from hybrids? Did you get anything worth anything? I'm sure it depends totally on the individual hybrid, but I might just plant a few pots of this and see what I get. If I do, I'll be sure to report.

I saved seeds from store bought yellow cherry tomatoes years ago. They still had good germination last spring, so I planted them. They were delicious, so I saved fresh seeds. I'm sure they were hybrids because of where I bought them.

I don't remember what the originals tasted like, but I had to have liked them to save the seeds.

Yesterday, I officially got to do something with actual seeds! My fridge is now stratifying wild strawberry seeds I saved from the surprise patch I found last season.

I realized the other day that I really need to figure out what my succession planting schedule is!
