What did you do in the garden today?

[Compost King]

Finished the door to the greenhouse, or I finished mounting it. I still need to shave a little wood in one corner until it fits smoothly, and put in some support so the non hinge side doesn't sag.... But its in place for now.

I was cooking dinner and DH was walking the dog. On his way back he caught people 150 feet INSIDE our ranch boundary and headed for the barn "to see the cute animals" WTH people?!?!?!
I don't go in your city backyard to pet your cat. WHY would they think that's OK?!
If they pulled that on my neighbor's property, they would have been met with a rifle scope.

A simple shotgun fire into the air would make them run back to the city.
My Grandma would do this to people that were toilet-papering her yard. Most times she only had to cock the shot gun and they started running.

Ya. But that's not exactly legal .....
They passed two security signs and two no trespass signs to get to where DH caught them.
Creeps me out.

I put that kind of person in the same category as the idiots that want to pet the cute buffalo or bear in Yellowstone.

I might win a Darwin award if I see a Mountain Lion or some other big cat. My instinct when I see a cat is to pet it. I just love cats of all types and sizes. I was at the Cincinnati Zoo a few years ago and standing next to some glass where there were animals and a large cat walked up to the glass right next to me and I instinctively went to pet it but my hand hit the glass which woke me up back to reality. I swear cats put me in a trance... however I would not start going through someones farm to check out the animals. I live in a city and people just start going through your property thinking its ok as long as they are checking out the animals. They get the chickens all stirred up and then they start flying over fences they normally would not even consider flying over to get away from the people checking them out. I ended up putting up privacy fencing and locks which annoy me because I have to lock and unlock doors/gates just to go from the front yard to the back yard when before I just easily walked. The is something wrong with city folks.

Garden pics:

luffa: Still green, but some are quite large.

Spinach - growing ok, but seems to be turning yellow too - not sure why

The turnips look good - these are meant to be picked around 2" - 3" diameter. Cooked or raw.

Beets have been doing pretty well - some are a decent size.

Peas! You can see first pod has formed on left. Of course, need peas to develop.

A Pole bean (for dried beans) called "Lazy Housewife" - seems to be a good producer.

Beans from above dried in pods:

The beans "Lazy Housewife" the look like a good size, not gigantic, but not very small either. I'll look forward to trying them when I can pick more of them.

One of our chickens "Galadriel". She is 2.5 years old, and a favorite. She looks like she may have recently molted as she is looking particularly fluffy.

Last weekend I made ketchup (which is to the right of the picture)

I've been thinking about making ketchup, I've had a couple really good specialty made ones and there is just no comparison.

Love Penny! We ended up being adopted by 2 garden cats when we moved in here. We normally only keep indoor cats but it is fun to have our 2 "helping" us in the garden.

OMG the floof! Is she an easter egger? I love mine so much.

Looks good! Diagonal bracing can prevent the non-hinge side from dragging.
