What did you do in the garden today?

[Lazy Farmer]

Wow! Yesterday I picked strawberries and peas. I watered my tomatoes, eggplant, onions, carrots, chard, beets, fennel, and cukes. I planted more carrots and chard seed. What else..... ummmmm.... I think that's it.

Our soil is too thick for onions. I have some in sand mixture pots. Carrots fair for some reason though.

I just picked a few Bell Peppers for homemade chilli tonight. My helper was a little counterproductive. But I managed to prevail some how.

Little miss Bah-Buh.. The center of attention and now in the center of my dinner!

Note: No Peppers were harmed in the making of this post!

I have 9 40 foot rows of corn.
yesterday I weeded two more of them. makes 6 done, 3 to go.
today I sprayed the two rows with fish fertilizer, and then I hilled both rows.
I won't have to do them anymore.
and if I don't get the last 3 rows weeded, no big deal. there are weeds only between the plants and the plants are way taller than the weeds.
I have 5 guinea roosters. they are all that are left of 30 I had a year ago.
they follow me to the garden. and while I was weeding and hilling the corn, they walked the whole 190 feet of potato row and ate potato bugs the whole way..
no wonder my wife can find only a few when she goes picking and pinching.
last time a few days ago she found only 75 in the whole 190 foot row.
after doing the corn project,
I hopped on the tractor and worked up a patch of ground for a strawberry bed.
I am going to make the rows about 6 feet apart. 4 rows, 30 feet long.
I started beds several time in the past.
they all just became choked with weeds.
this will be my last attempt..

A few days ago our Border Collie grabbed a baby bunny from a burrow in our rain washed out garden. We recently tilled it up and were going to start a fall crop when the rain washed it away. We went around a little burrow in a potato mound thinking it could be a home. We were right. The dog snagged a baby bunny and tried to turn it into a squeaky toy. Instead it SCREAMED! Never knew rabbits could scream. It was playing sick and on deaths door step for a bit so we put it in a plastic dog kennel and brought it in the house. Needless to say it was hardly dying. It escaped and was at large.. Seen on several occasions in several locations in our home!
My daughter caught it finally and now it is in a wire live trap, secured on the back porch. It is being fed well and watered. As soon as its gets bigger, back to the wild! But not near my garden!

What's up doc???​

Weeded in the garden and then mowed the paths...again!
Picked more pears and will set out the traps again tonight after seeing the photos of the big boar coon climbing the Moonglow tree. Will be using some poison bait tonight too...carefully placed and to be removed before tame critters go into the garden. The garden is surrounded by a 4 foot tall chain link fence. He has done a lot of damage to both trees and the apples will be next...so he has got to go! We are sure he is the same coon that tore up a live trap a while back. He is trap savy.

Use a hot wire box on chain link fence for the coon and similar peasants. They have solar battery charged units that will make him want to go to Walmart for his Pears And Apples!

Wackthem into history!

FC does it!
