What did you do in the garden today?

Thanks

no vines, all single stem trunks SO MANY.

Trackhoes work with stumps too!! They don't descriminate. I lost horses, farm, house, and everything I owned to thieves. Praying they get a good dose of their own medicine. Sometimes they don't let live, they have to be stopped. You do did a great job with garden tho. Holy cow.

There was nothing larger than 1 inch and most were about the size of a pencil and all on a 45' slope into a ditch. I had to cut these to the ground in order to get the shredder in there to cut down the 6 foot high prairie grass.
What gets me about the gate, is that it is a very little known place and the grassed over road runs within 30 feet of a house. SOMEONE looked hard to find it. and how they got it out without being seen is mind blowing. I THINK it was someone with one of the construction crews that has been in and out of our dead end road. 16 footer, not cheap.

I got these really cool 90 mil food grade buckets from Amazon. Its kind of expensive, but I think they will last longer than the 70 mil buckets from Lowes and Home Depot. I am really impressed with the fat heavy duty handle, it makes it comfortable to carry the bucket when its full. I think the handles were made to last a life time, unlike the Lowes and Home Depot bucket handles that break apart before the bucket.

I have a minor rant this morning. Went to the feed store a couple of days ago. This is a farmers co-op so the people who work in there are generally more knowledgeable than your average TSC. Anyway they had a delivery of chicks from a Hatchery. Not sure who they use.... Someone in Arkansas or Missouri, I think. They had several metal tubs with cardboard dividers to separate the different breeds. They clipped a heat lamp in the middle so it would shine down on either side of the divider. I noticed one chick hardly moving. It looked splay legged and cold. All the chicks were huddled under the lights. I told the girl working that the chick had splay leg. I moved it where it was under the light but away from the huddled mass of chicks and also closer to the water source. The girl had seen me move it. She commented and said "we've lost 5 chicks just today. We've had several from the Hatchery with only one eye, couldn't walk, and other obvious health issues." She then proceeded to pick up the chick I moved and put it back in the center of the huddled mass of chicks. It was getting trampled because it can't move or walk. I felt my blood pressure start to rise but instead of saying anything to her, I just walked away. I don't think that poor thing had a chance.

That's terrible! I'm so sorry.

We just had a random hail storm blow through. I guess we'll have extra crooked neck squash this year.

Morning. Still fighting vertigo so my sister came over to bring me meds & collect eggs.

I got stuck on a 277volt circuit at work and woke up in the hospital. When they sent me home I thought that the spinning in my head was caused by the morphine they was giving me for pain. However, one morning when I woke up and sat on a chair, the spinning in my head spun like a tornado and it scared me because I couldn't stop it.

My elder sister did a search on the internet and found an exercise for vertigo, she printed the exercise pictures and gave them to me and they worked. It only took a few days to get rid of my vertigo.

The exercise makes me feel like I am putting the loose liquid in my brain back where it belongs.

Have you tried the vertigo exercise?

The funny thing about my experience with vertigo is it felt like if I could make it spin faster it would generate a force, but it went away before I could figure out how to channel it.

Chilly, gray day today. No rain all day but it's hovering. Will probably rain all night.

From around the garden...
Roses are budding out.

Catawba grapes are loaded with promise.


Concords too....


Egyptian Walking Onions (my first year for these so I'm excited!)


Raspberries have exploded... This bed was 5 bare root sticks last fall.


Carrots and Basil


Pink lemonade blueberries might actually produce a few this year.


Indeterminate tomatoes


Determinate tomatoes


Lavender is beginning to bloom


Glencoe raspberry sharing a bed with flax


New irrigation system (in progress)


New strawberry beds


Romaine doing well. Summer lettuce and arugula starting to sprout.

I’m not sure what the exercises are but I can’t do much due to the back surgery. No bending, lifting, twisting & I’m in a back brace. I saw some where they tilt your head a certain way & then you have to move quickly & twist to the side - can’t do any of that. Saw one that was a half a somersault - can’t do that either. All the ones I saw were to move the crystals in the ear but I didn’t find anything I could actually do. It is getting a bit better, I’ve figured out how to move to keep the spinning to a minimum. The headache stinks tho. But thanks for the suggestion!
