What did you do in the garden today?

[BirdsBeesTrees]

currently feels like 12', yesterday at this time it was 82', a 70' difference and the winds are howling to 50 mph. Yep. The great plains.

Yesterday's fire was causes by a lawn mower, and has so far burned 70,000 acres and counting.

We were in a red flag warning the other day and people ignored it and were burning brush and grass. If my house and property burned from their negligence I'd sue the shit out out them.

Warm-ish. But windy, and overcast. Some decent storms may roll through tonight.

I’m getting prepped for goat L&D. Still a month (at least) to go. They are separated, but we put them together at night. I’ve joined a couple goat fb pages for info, etc. it’s been a blessing and a bit of a curse. A blessing bc good info, good admins, and good printable guides. A curse bc some come to ask about awful stuff -all the things you don’t want to happen, bc their goat is currently kidding or just kidded, or they just bought some animals. So, just trying to focus on what I can do to prep.

Today, I picked up a vaccine for the goats, claustridium and tetanus. They get a dose now, then in 2 weeks. Then babies get poked around 7 days old. I now know this is supposed to be a yearly thing, but we didn’t know until now. Better late than never! Also got injectable B/selenium. We are deficient in selenium in this area, so we already give the girls selenium paste once a month. The injectable is for after kidding.

To end in a chicken note: I’m supposed to pick up chicks tomorrow!!!!

I stuck some overgrown Pak choy seedling in my Kratky buckets this morning. They were clumped together in small seed cells. I am not sure if they are going to make it, but they look like they were hardened, so they might make it. The reason why I stuck them in my Kratky buckets were because the potting mix they were in was drying out midday, so they would die if I missed a watering. I did the 3 buckets off set in the back. The ones closer to me were done a few weeks ago.

The main thing I want to taste is my 6 Prizm Hybrid Kale. They survived the initial transplant shock and are beginning to grow new leaves. I have never tasted these, they supposed to be tender and compact. They look luscious in this image.

One of the grand kids is interested in growing vegetables so I thought I would put together a variety of grow bags and set up a portable “container” garden for her impending birthday.

Awww, I love that!

Ohhh, what'd ya get?
I can't wait to see baby goat pics. I'm sure y'all will do great. It's so exciting getting into something new, a bit stressful at times, but it all works out in the end.

I got almost all of the cool weather seeds planted. I still need to get the Brussels sprouts and asparagus in. It got to about 64 today so nice if the stinking wind would go away. Thinking about cutting some more parsley and get it in the dehydrator.

Nice looking kale. At first I thought the picture was an aerial view of a tropical rainforest.

We are about to get a dose of that... It was 80 degrees today. Storms coming through tonight and temperatures will drop like a lead balloon.

I chased tornadoes a couple times when I lived in south central Kansas. I also holed up in a basement closet a couple of times when the tornado sirens went off. I kind of miss big weather. It's an awesome thing.
