What did you do in the garden today?

[Sammster]

I started stocking up 2-3 years ago. I have shelves with canned food in the shed, plus a small chest freezer and a refrigerator also in the shed. It gets up to about 100° in there during the summer, but I have not had any issues with spoilage. We also keep cases of TP and PT (paper towels), extra jugs of laundry detergent, stuff like that. The supply chain issues have rarely affected us.

Same. I've been slowly stocking up over the last couple of years. It "looks" like hoarding - but, I bought these things when the shelves were full, and there were no shortages. As much as prices have risen, I'm really glad I did

Alas, the only use I have for vodka is to make my own vanilla.

I have just a bit of homemade vanilla left. Now I can't afford the vanilla beans!

Can't say I remember that, I'm more of a coffee/vanilla/nuts ice cream person. But that sounds delicious and it wouldn't surprise me they had something like that, they had so many original concoctions!

They had it in the 70s. Other companies have copied it, but changed the seeds to seed shaped candy pieces. Kind of rough on your teeth when the candy is frozen.

Picked a plethora of beans today!
My beans have done tremendously this year for our small garden!

Made a big batch of squash/zucchini chips. So good.

It's still raining. There was no rain in the forecast.

How about people spraying their lawns with everything under the sun to not only kill weeds buy bugs?! And that crap does not discriminate!

This kills me. They push spraying for ticks (and mosquitos) around here & people don't realize, or care, that they're killing EVERYTHING including the bees & other pollinators.

Want to really cuss at me? Just say, Monsanto! Want to tone it down? Drop the f-bomb.

Well said!
Monsanto is an ecocidal freak show. No one will see me cry when someone makes that bunch go extinct.

Awesome that the bees are living life large at your place! Yes, go girls!
