What did you do in the garden today?

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Into the kitchen for prep work and kitchen tidy, I want to keep the kitchen clean as long as possible, it just makes cooking so much easier. The parade starts in a few minutes then it's time for a hot mocha. Hope you all have as nice a day as you can.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my US friends. I am thankful for all of your company, US or not.

Roast is in the crockpot. Pies are out of the oven, beans have been snapped. Pasta will be cooked right before.

Sewing later, laundry now, other than that, I'm done for the day.

OH picked up a dishwasher cover from etsy and LOVE it.
It's stainless steel originally, but OH the drips from loading and unloading and fingerprints drove me NUTS. It looks so awesome. I had no idea there was such a thing! (magnetic)
Yes, it will still get dripped on and marks, but at least it will hide them until I windex the thing once a week.

Sister is getting one as her's is white, and she calls her's the white whale. LOL.

Drawers near the door under the sink. That's a first. I've never seen that.

I enjoy them. You have to watch what you put in them as the heat register is under them, so they get warm. I keep weird stuff in there, dusting supplies in one, and dog stuff in the other.

Yesterday I dug for potatoes I was pleasantly surprised. I actually got some potatoes! Not a lot but more than I’ve gotten in the past.
My question is what do you all do with the tiny potatoes ( white or red potatoes) and the long, skinny, tiny, almost root, things that were trying to become sweet potatoes ? Can/ do you save them and plant them next year to be your potato starts? Or do you just toss them?
Of course my biggest, nicest potatoes were the ones I seemed to cut through with the shovel while digging for potatoes but at least I got some
Happy Thanksgiving everyone

Learned a lesson this morning, open top chicken pen is a bad idea. Lost Inky (our only black Australorp) to a hawk. No Inky and a huge pile of black and grey feathers outside the pen. I'll have to string netting over the pen. Well, I guess it's Thanksgiving to the dumb hawk. Not going to let it spoil the day but I feel like I let her down. I hope it was quick.

NO! poor inky.
Poor you.

Our plans changed around a little today too because of a couple sickies. Not sure if it's COVID or not. But we're doing the big day with everyone on Sat anyway.

Got 12 more cloves of garlic in.

The littles are getting so big, they're almost full size.
