What did you do in the garden today?

I sprayed all fruit trees today. We have some peach trees with peach leaf curl. The treatment is copper spray in fall and/or spring. Before any growth occurs . It says to add horticultural oil to the copper mix to help it to be more effective. All trees sprayed with the mix though. My sprayer is now colored blue inside. I rinsed, and added some mild dish soap, swished and rinsed, but still blue.

Tomorrow will be quite nice too!

So, I could order some call ducks to raise in their own pen. Should I do this?? Hmmm. Never raised ducks. My spouse is more interested in duck eggs, and wondered if call ducks lay many eggs, or if we should raise a different breed of duck so we can get regular duck eggs.

Go with a egg breed like Khaki Campbell. Call ducks lay more like a wild mallard.
 
I can't get rid of the ants in this house. They are eating the terro bait like it's a buffet, but they just keep coming. It's been weeks, almost a month. I don't even know what to do about it anymore. :barnie
I have the same problem with ants. My pest service has been out twice in the past month. I have also put out Terro traps and my own homemade traps using Borax. Has hardly phased them at all....
 
Well I'm the only one in my house right now that doesn't have the flu so I decided to spend the evening outside. Added some compost to a couple of raised beds.

Also chased and caught one of my ducks who was limping. Looks like her middle toe is swollen up pretty bad. I didn't see any dark plug underneath that might indicate bumblefoot or any other wounds. Gave her some Metronidazole to help with possible infection.

Got a Brecks catalog today with some really pretty splash gladiolus. Haven't bought any but I'm eyeballing.... 😂

Must resist....
