What did you do in the garden today?

I picked the large, lower leaves from my kale plants, and got quite a handful. Washed it, trimmed off the stem ends and stuffed the leaves into a gallon ziplock. It keeps really well in the fridge in the baggy.

I chopped up all the kale trimmings and cooked them in a greasy skillet with salt, pepper, red pepper flakes and a touch of sugar. With 3 eggs on the side it was a great lunch!

Went fishing and a waste of time. Maybe next week. I did find a big clump of oyster mushrooms.

Well, you win some and you lose some. LOL

I think this is a golden oyster mushroom.

Are you going to eat it?

Trying a little experiment today, making a calcium supplement solution for my garden. Crushed eggshell get toasted and the membrane is removed. Then soaked in vinegar for 10 days. Here's where I got the idea:

Here's what I ended up with. Now the waiting begins.

I used to have a raised bed here.

They've been bolstered with rocks since I put them in. We've had some gully washers in the 29 years we've been here, but nothing like this one on April 5th:

I'm standing on the porch at the house. Those long skinny islands are my raised beds.

The 14 chicks far outgrew that brooder at 3 weeks.

What kind of chickens are they?

Sometimes you catch fish, sometimes you don't, but it's never a waste of time! Hope you have better luck next week.

Sunfish should be spawning soon here. Cooler weather has postponed it. Another month for your area. I will be up north then. Turtle racing capital. Cass county.

Are you going to eat it?

I think so. A little past prime.
