What did you do in the garden today?

Bet it felt good to get out and do something in the garden! Used to live in Silverdale back when it had one stoplight, sure it's changed a lot since then!

Yes it was great to get something going! I planted snow peas the next day, and of course now it's cold and rainy off and on but fortunately no snow, at least not yet.
Silverdale is definitely not the same! I remember driving through when we were little and there were farms all along the valley there, now it's all strip mall. And a regular mall.

Wow! So hard to imagine. In my mind it will always be a sleepy little town

You should take a look at it on google maps. I think the only old thing there is the Poplars Motel remember that? And the old red barn feed store and some oldies down that way. So I guess the old sleepy town is still there but attached to a couple miles of shopping centers.

What did you do in your garden today?

I picked a bunch of Rattlesnake green beans and Cherokee wax beans, a few tomatoes, three eggplants, some broccoli shoots, and jalapenos. Pretty happy with today's harvest!

I planted herbs

Omg! You made me go back and count! It's been 50 years since I've been there. And when I think about it, it feels like just a little while ago! Ah, old age, ain't it grand!

Aloha garden gang,
I have done nothing but babysit a tiny chicken for the last 2 days and I am absolutely exhausted also I have lost slightly more of my mind. This not having a partner chick or a brooder is terrible and I finally think I may have too many chickens. Mater of fact I think that this was a very well thought out diabolical plot hatched by my DH to cure me of my chicken math... very clever DH...

Somebody has a tail this morning!!!

The two new roos are settling and very nice boys.
DH finished the coop for the Hawaiian kids this eve, I would have helped build but was busy taking chicken selfies... lol. We loaded it with the two teen birds and onto our rubbish trailer for a morning delivery. BYE BYE!!! I am thrilled to get them gone, 2 down... 50 to go.

Love the garden talk, planning and photos. Keep em coming!

I've picked a few more tomatoes and some lettuce. Think I will plant a few sweet 100 tomatoes in my empty box and switch tall cage when the time comes. And plant more salad greens.
Sent DH to town for the "bottom falls out shop". My truck was full of rooster cages the other day so I only did a quicky shop. I'm prepared always for hurricanes and tsunami's. This time we just want to stay out of the mix so we topped off our already full cabinets and freezer. Gatorade, bread and soy milk lol Just in case...
They have closed our CC and probably all schools, small ag seminar is canceled... sure all kinds of stuff I don't know or care about. Looking forward to this being behind us. It is just darn weird.
OK, stay safe and well all.
