What did you do in the garden today?

So I was looking for more postal swag today and came across this. Does this country of ours always have to be on the wrong side of history? Happy 100th anniversary in a few days.

I have no idea how long they were in there before we found them but it had to be a while because they tore up my squash!

@NewBoots I used a little olive oil, cayenne, parm, garlic & s&p. DH brought some to work & they all loved them, even the guy who hates squash. He said, 'now that's how squash is supposed to taste!' He said they were a little spicy for a couple of the 'girly men' but I think they're perfect. They need to be a little spicy or I'da eaten the whole lot.

I am reminded of that old closing the bar saying, "You don't have to go home but you can't stay here!" OMG that was so funny, except for the damage part. I suppose it would be illegal to grab one as send it to freezer camp.

I will try that, I love spicy, DP not so much but I'll make more of the plain ones too.

TUrkeys......snort. good grief.

I went out this morning to cut some mustard pods for a friends flower shop and low and behold there was a climbing vine tangled in there. Huh. OH the LOOFA. Finally it decided to make a show of it....in August. I planted it in May. Good grief.

Good afternoon gardeners. @Wee Farmer Sarah what a rotten thing for some creature to do! We got some rain and wind last night and at last check it's only 100* outside. Such a relief. The itty bitties are eating and drinking, the older chicks are sticking their heads through bars trying to steal their food and the broody has no desire for chicks, she just likes to sit apparently. She's roosting at night now that I've taken the eggs and the chicks are out there. Have a good night all.

We don’t even have oleanders in Missouri. Silly bug.

I’ve had a few Brodie’s that were the same way. Even when they hatched their own eggs they didn’t want anything to do with the chicks.
