What did you do in the garden today?

Went to the podiatrist yesterday. I thought the foot was doing good. DR Debried the wound. Scratched on it and made it bleed. It has been 4 weeks.
High of 67 today. I need to be outside today. I have lost leg muscle strength this month with the foot wound. I need to gain that back.

Did they recommend any exercises?
Hope your bumble foot heals quickly. Sometimes I think Drs make things worse.

Odd but I never get the periodical kind. just the annual.

That is strange you are not too far from me. Although here it originally was forest when my great grandparents cleared the land for farming .
Maybe you were prairie.

We have a guy locally that mixes garden soil. He charges $40 a dump truck scoop. Then, for the last layer, we use a bagel of Kellogg organic raised bed soil.

Our soil is so poor, that even amending with compost did nothing

I have been adding compost, but will look for the Kellogg organic raised bed soil. Thanks for the tip!

Hope that heals up quick! I have PT exercises to do at home, did the doc recommend anything to you?

G’morning all. It’s going to be in the mid 80’s today, but by Sunday it’ll only be 60. Possible rain a good portion of the weekend. I’m not complaining, we need it even though we’re over the average for this time of year. There’s new growth down low I need to cut off the lemon tree and one of the the lilacs but that’s about it. Well, and move all the trimmings from earlier in the year to the patio so we can shred soon. It has been raining every weekend or just before and it has all been too wet to run through the shredder. That’s it for me. The tomatoes are flowering and the lemon tree is still putting out new flowers; it sounds like a bee hive out there after it warms up

In my experience regarding cicadas, in areas that the ground has been disturbed for construction activities that will destroy the underground nests of the cicadas, you likely won't see or hear the little buggers. Where I'm currently living cicadas are rare. About 10 to 15 years ago homeowners had to replace their cesspools for septic tanks. Therefore there was a lot of digging happening around here. When I lived south of the Mason Dixon line I lived in a few communities that hadn't been changed at all in 50 years or more. There the cicadas were well established and on a 7 year and 13(?) year cycle. I'll be headed out shortly to pick up baby Australorps.

Thank you! State trust land, no shooting allowed and I wouldn’t shoot it anyway. Unless it was actively hunting me and thy don’t do that. He was just living his life and some human came and provided him some nice shade on a warm day….it’s his home, not mine.

That's fair. I wouldn't shoot on public land without a permit. However my first instinct is "oh look, food!" We eat them here, but we shoot them on private land and shoot them because of the horses, cattle and goats that they make sick or kill if they get bit. We eat anything we shoot. We can't shoot ground squirrels, can't eat them and I'm not paying for lead free 223 to protect the big birds in the area. So we set up raptor perches and plant trees for them to hunt.
