What did you do in the garden today?

Yesterday 76 this morning 18. It is still winter. Rain and tornadoes missed me. Had wind and 40 MPH gusts today. High of 33. I think I will stay inside today. Need a day of rest anyway.

My neighbor just brought me a bag of oranges from her yard so I am going to dehydrate the skin and use them to flavor some cakes.

@Sueby I’ve ordered high production layers, EE, and some dark brown Leghorns. Totally tempted to get ducks…but I think it’s best to wait and get them next year perhaps.

Can I send you some of mine... . I was so aggravated yesterday because half my ducks disappeared. I still have no idea where they wandered off to that I couldn't find them. Just as I was about to go hop in the truck to drive around the neighborhood looking for them, they showed back up in the pond. I swear they are worse than teenagers.

I've been reading about how much pectin oranges have, and a lot of it is in the skin, which we throw away. So I've been washing the orange before I peel and eat, and drying the skin near the wood stove. I plan to make it into a powder and use it to thicken homemade jam/jelly. I'll let y'all know how it works and how it tastes.

we got some storms, but are decently north of the tornadoes, high winds. It’s very windy today though. Parts of my drive to get chicks were rough with the wind.

No…human teens add in colorful language we understand. .

Oh, I don't know... I've got a few loud mouths who are clearly giving me a dressing down when I collect eggs every day. The body language speaks volumes even across species... (the case aside on whether teenagers qualify as another species.... )

Did nothing in the garden today.
3pm and we just cracked 32'F and that won't last long. Good grief. 82'F 48 hours ago.
Fairly certain the mums are toast.
Stayed in (except for livestock duties) and baked 4 loaves of bread after milling wheat.
