What did you do in the garden today?

With all our rain lately, we've seen a couple of big water bugs, really giant cockroaches. I can't deal with those, they fly and make me squeal like a ninny. One crawled over my bare foot the other day as I was changing the brooder water for the nth time. I squealed (big surprise huh?) and did my best dancer's high kick and flick. Bug sailed right into the brooder. Chicks went insane! BIG game of chase! Stupid bug, dead bug. I made my first kissy noises to those little biddies then. But no, I'm still not a crazy chicken lady!

With all the rain we have had here in the south...i pulled 673 million weeds and collected 1 tomato and 4 cukes...

Oh heck no not crazy at all. Nope. People always make kissy noises to their chicks don't they??

Edit note. Not sure why but my keyboard locks up from time to time and won't let me finish typing.

HE just mowed the yard close to the house, real fast between storms. It was mowed 4days ago. Today the chihuahua got lost in it. Well, he wasn't lost, I just couldn't find him.

it is raining here today.
all I did was go out just before the rain and admire what I did yesterday.
I have nine 30 foot long rows of corn
yesterday I hand weeded 7 of the rows half way down.
then I took the rototiller and went up and down all of the rows, twice.
just a few weeds left between the corn plants.. but the corn is about waist high so those weeds will be insignificant after I hill the corn.

Gosh if the veggies would just grow with the intensity of the weeds.....
They even grow well without the rain. Stick a cucumber out there with them and they'd be dead before the sun came up.

Laughing with you btw

I know. I'm just feeling ornery towards bothersome bugs right now. And tall grass. And rain. And fungus blighting my beautiful tomatoes. And people who make kissy noises at chickens.

If it helps any I just ran around the orchard chasing grasshoppers with a homemade net to feed to the chicks. I am no spring chicken but it felt good getting them buggers. Chicks loved them too

 

[NorthTexasWink]

Yup. That helped.
