What did you do in the garden today?

will the chickens eat them?

Will you get paid for it's lose? Here they are supposed to but its a long drawn out process

Chickens won't eat the bagworms as they hide inside their case or sac they create. I've ripped open a few sacs to expose the worms & they'll eat them, but they do not seem too enthused, so maybe they taste bad, plus it is not that easy trying to open the sacs. Sparrows & parasitic wasps will get the worms out of their sacs but I haven't seen many Sparrows or those type wasps around.

Morning I spread snail and slug bait.
Today it is vinegar and salt on weeds.
Our temps are starting to come down to the 70's.

I do like these temperatures! Better than triple digits for sure.



I've had a nagging pain in my lower right side for awhile & it's getting worse. It is weird, can't really tell if it is related to hip, sciatic, a gall stone, psoas muscle, appendix, I have pain in lower back, too, so it's like the entire right side now hurts, groin, lower stomach, hip, shoots down the leg & I have a rough time all day long, but really tough when I finally lay down to sleep...the pain in my right side, groin, entire hip & down my right thigh is awful, even how my lower leg, calf & foot are situated drives my thigh nuts. It takes alternate heat then ice, a vibration massage gadget & lidocaine, plus moving a big pillow a thousand ways under the leg to elevate it...yeah, a total fidgety wreck for a good hour. Thank goodness for Benedryl to help me sleep, but even with that, when I roll over in my sleep onto my right side, pain wakes me right up.

Well, this morning I was trying to roll up a very heavy hose at work & the pain just really hit me, so much that I got dizzy, nauseous & nearly vomited. So...here I am, a lovely Sunday, should be weeding & looking for more bagworms, but I went to the walk-in place which is also an ER like a mini hospital. I really need to find out what this pain is & address it. If you Google it, you get so many possibilities of what it could be. Well, enough is enough, it needs to be identified & if possible, gotten rid of. I hate this crap, I really do.

Me too. It is just weird, I can't even describe it accurately.

I just got a bunch of those stainless steel Ball lids. I'm super excited to reclaim the rings of all the open jars in the fridge.


I harvested tomatillos. So, I'm processing a batch of those today.

I did scrape most of the weeds in the orchard. It's super hot already. I was dripping sweat so I decided to come inside and heat the house with the oven and pressure canner instead.

I noticed that a volunteer tomato plant that came up this spring is nearly as big as the plants I spent months nurturing indoors before setting outside. Its stalk is as thick as the transplants and it has lots of blossoms.

I think I'll just plant tomato seeds in the garden early next spring instead of spending money and time starting them indoors. Sure would make things easier.

I don't try starting seeds indoors, even though with some of them I should, it seems as though I try and everything dies about a week or two before I should put em in the garden. WTF is up with my green thumb turning black just before planting time.

They sprayed the crop field on a breezy day...killed one of my trees.

Here in California I think they have to pay to replace the tree or you turn it in to the insurance and they get their money from the farmer/rancher. I hope you are successful in getting your tree replaced.
