What did you do in the garden today?

[LifeSimpleAndSweet]

Wire or tie bait to the trigger. Also a coon can destroy a trap or roll it over and get out. A rebar stake through the cage and driven into the ground to prevent rollover.

Thanks!!

I believe these are pale swallowtail butterflies. None have landed on my muddy dish yet. Got pepper seeds planted.

Is this your first time having bees? We just got our first bees a week and a half ago.

This is the first hives I had living where I do now, I used to help with a sideliner and a commercial keeper during college.

Got the Sweet potatoes planted yesterday, received my two bee hives today, and found an issue with my one apple tree.
Still need to figure out what is causing it.

I don't make kombucha right now. I use to make a lot of it. A gallon a day. But that was when I had a family of 6. I never second-fermented it though. That was before I knew about it. I bet it's good!!

I make 2.5-3 gallons every two weeks and drink it all myself.

I had a fairly small raccoon roll a trap over. I learned to put a cinder block on top of the trap, and that helped. The rebar idea is great! I gotta remember that.

I'll get in the garden today when I got home - another office day. Planning to head out soon to beat some traffic.
I MUST transplant the yardlong beans today. I am looking for a spot for some huge sunflower seeds that were given to me. I might get those in too.

Another question - How can I rid my rose bed of Creeping Charlie without harming the roses? Weed and feed kills it, but might hurt my roses too I think.

You can protect the roses with a bucket, box or feed sack. Then spray roundup. Once dry it is safe to remove the cover. Roundup will not creep with rain as 24D does.

The spray idea works well.
Also could think about smothering it with cardboard to kill it.

Managed to get all the holes dug for my tomatoes and tossed a handful of bone meal in each one, eggshell is next, we had just enough rain to make it steamy and get the concrete damp. Luckily it waited until the shearing team was done and gone. They boys are thrilled to be shorn and feel the breeze on their bits.

I will go before dark to take photos but the stop to the chicken yard to keep birds in dogs out.
Made another killer of thistle vinegar and salt boiled to be one.
Used the frirst gallon we made.
