What did you do in the garden today?

[Lazy Farmer]

I swap eggs for spent grain from the brewery. Chickens love it. Only one to two dozen eggs for 10 five gallon buckets worth of compacted grain.
Good idea on the farmers market. Sometimes I don't get enough from my vines. Also I collect the pumpkins from Halloween that people haven't cut open. Once got one so big it took two of us to load it into truck.

boooyah!

It rained off and on all day,
I managed to pick a half dozen ears of corn for supper to go with the meatloaf and mashed potatoes.

Ha! That'll feed a flock! We only got a few pie pumpkins this year from a volunteer vine. I get a few freebies every year from the grocery store in town when they are ready to dump them after Halloween.

I heard that pumpkin can be a natural wormer..

I've seen that as well in a few threads and books, especially the seeds, which they seem to love!

I picked almost a quart bag of green beans today. A lot for me this Summer, but not much compared to some of you! I am "sharing" the vines with the deer who munches on them every night. My poor tomatoe plants are so covered with aphids, it's quite sad.

I'd rather take on all the deer on the block than mess with aphids. Hate the critters. All the natural sprays only work so long then bingo they are back. Corn have them again. Don't have much luck with ladybugs either.

Very sorry for you and your pet. Don't beat yourself up, it was an accident. Sending hope your way for a recovery.

Thanks. I am so sad.

Here's the hen that set 11 eggs during the worst part of heat wave.
This is the second batch this year for her
