RAINY - once noon hit, it has rained and rained.

Baby Chicks shipped!!! Yay! All boys, though. Hoping for tomorrow morning arrival. Who knows, though, with USPS - we did pay for express shipping, so that is why I am hopeful.

Before the rain hit, I got some pics:


"Trombone" Butternut getting larger and staying green, so far.

A new baby "Trombone" developing.

One of the gourds flowered today. This one is called a "Spinning" gourd. It is likely going to be small since it was used by kids as a toy once dried, way back when.

Another baby gourd - I think this one is the birdhouse type

Oh yes I do
Ratatouille

Thanks! Saved to my recipe folder! And that looks like a recipe you can use to clear out the fridge with.

Made some corn chowder and pancake mix biscuits for dinner after work.

I am so suggestible, now I want corn chowder.

Baby Chicks shipped!!! Yay!

Yay! Pics when they arrive!

Well I was a good kid, the mowing is done with some of the best clippings shared out to the chickens and rabbits. One causality though, I ran over one of the soaker hoses . At least I didn't break the mower. We ate those three cherry tomatoes at lunch and they were heavenly, I can't wait till we get a so many we can't eat them fast enough and I have to start drying them.

I had to ban my 8yo son from the greenhouse for a week he ate so many tomatoes he had sores in his mouth from all the tomato acid

Picked a tomato, ate some peppers, and took pictures.

Okra pod right after the flower fell off

Pepperchinis turning ripe, now I get to see what its ripe color is, usually these are eaten yellowish/light green.

Carolina Reapers changing color.

Carolina Reaper turning red, will be picked tomorrow which means I process a chicken tomorrow.

No color in the Ghost Peppers yet, but the bottom of the picture is my cat demanding attention, so I petted her for 20 minutes and went back to taking pictures.

Don't get too excited... its only Hemp not Cannabis, its legal now so I grew it. I got seeds from a CBD store who were removing seeds from their product.

Fall Garden has germinated, Bok Choy! I love Bok choy. My Collards Germinated too and look exactly the same. The Swiss Chard did not germinate.

Can you tell me what you mix?

I have not actually tried it but MrLeeHo posted this recipe:

You can try either a garlic or pepper spray. Most things that eat the leaves won't like it. I know it works on mites. Lots of difference recipes, but basically simmer about 1tblsp of cayenne powder or crushed garlic (or both) per cup of water. Add about a tsp of dawn per cup and you can also add a drizzle of veg oil. The only problem is you will need to respray anytime it rains or if you water from above.

Wasn't feeling good today so I didn't make it out to the garden today or get anything done that I had planned.
Oh well, tomorrow is a new day, new opportunities!
