What did you do in the garden today?

I planted seeds 6 days ago. Already much is sprouting... cucumber, cabbage, kale, lettuce, marigolds... all showing tiny green leaves. Cucumbers are especially big for such a short time.

Rather excited since it's my first "real" garden since we've lived in AZ.

Phew, well, i got the killables moved into the garage.
Learned something today.
Chickens do not like roll up bugs??? You are absolutely KIDDING ME right??? just simply...wow.

My Dwarf Cavendish has a banana stalk forming, FINALLY after all these years I got it to give me nanners at a reasonable time. Literally I have had this pos plant probably going on a dozen years or more and this is second time i ever got nanners off it, it kept freezing down, Id covered it and it SURVIVED and didn't freeze, but then the sob would sit there and then rot.. and there you go, you start ALL over again.

my ice cream banana has 2 years on it now and im hoping it poops a nanner stalk too, it's due.

One thing that is concerning me is, on my banana AND my papaya I am seeing it looks like dirt on the leaves, or like mold. It's dry now and I can literally wipe it off with my thumb and nail but the leaves are covered. Newer ones not so much but wondering what THAT is? A fungus? tomorrow I might hose them down real well and see if it washes off any and what goes. Sapote, no wonder that little bugger did so well, it busted the bottom of it's pot out and had roots all over, so had to chop some root structure to get it up and out. Not enough to kill it im pretty sure,but still, that's never a good thing. Hopefully next year THAT gives me something. The pineapple is just, its alive and grows but never really is green, it's always a yellowish tint to it, but well, grows like it's healthy, go figure. next year im gonna give it until about may or june then if it has not by itself, im going to apple core it to get a fruit, 3 years is enough, you better put out or get mulched already.

im tired now, time for a hot bath and maybe a nap or bed.

No gardening for me. I tested positive for Covid last night 😞very tired sleeping a lot
Oh man, get lots of rest and I'll be thinking of you.

DP is a machine sometimes, she completely removed all the soil from the 4 x 8 sunchoke bed, removed ALL the sunchoke bits, weeds, grasses, and all the roots for everything. Lifted the frame (with a little help) leveled the ground, then put down heavy landscape fabric and lowered the frame (with a little help) back in place. I'll help her put the old dirt back in tomorrow and add additional soil and frozen fish bits.
 
Ok, so honest question. lets say you got a 3-4-5 yo bird. Obviously WAY past it's time for a soft tender juicy bbq. so, just chop it up into soup? and is it really THAT horrrible to eat? or people being dramatic? I get it, the meat might be a bit chewier, but that's not a show stopper for me. Crock pot and dinner is on or how would you cook something like that so that it is NOT totally disgusting?



I cook them in a pressure cooker. not the softest meat but they make the best soup.
