What did you do in the garden today?

I have. I scrambled them and dehydrated those, and then hit the dehydrated bits with the blender to make a powder.

I've read that reconstituted eggs are pretty much only good for baking. They don't make good scrambled eggs, etc because they come across gritty. That's probably fine because I am just experimenting and would probably use them for baking anyway....

That is correct. But in a pinch....
I used them for baking and for adding to protein shakes, or adding to winter chicken feed.

Every time I went to to plant more it rained.
I had a small package of spinach to plant.
Okay I am a woose pouring rain I do not need to plant.

I have tried the 16-inch okra, and the Heavy Hitter okra from Bakers Creek and I prefer the Heavy Hitter. I don't like the texture, light green color and taste of the 16-inch okra variety.

The okra in this video look like the Heavy Hitter okra.
I have never tried roasted Okra before, I will try cooking it this way as soon as my plants kick some out.

thank you. can't wait to grow okra.

as I am running late with my seeds I bought 2 tomato, 6 different bell peppers, 2 hot peppers, 2 cucumbers and 2 white eggplant seedlings.

I also plan to swap a pair of geese for olive trees. a neighbor of mine is interested in.

Last year I bought a pear tree, of course it didn’t bloom in the first year, then in winter, it looked kind of dead ( I know they loose their leaves, but it kind of looked like dried up ) now I am happy to say only part of it died ( maybe too cold ) but the rest if it looks stunning ( for me )

I tried to get pineapple sage to propagate, so I took 2 tips and put them in pots, last night the wind blew one of them around so now I only have 1 plant left ( I gave away the mother plant as a gift )

Supposed to rain a lot tomorrow but I have got to at least get the leeks and spinach planted. The italian prune plum bloomed like crazy, I'm really hoping we get a crop this year, the tree is 2 years old now so fingers crossed.

I have a crazy amount of eggs from the girls lately. I'm considering dehydrating the extras... Anyone experimented with that?

I suggested dehydrating eggs to a friend who dehydrates fruits (professionally). she didn't want to do that with explanation if 1 egg has salmonella of whatever whole batch would be infected. good reason for me not to experiment.

A

All the tomatoes are now up 1-1.5 inches.

I need to get tomato seeds planted. Goats have been a little distracting.

Teen has a 3-day weekend, bc of eclipse on Monday. So I told her she’s got goat duty all weekend.

My Gen Z kids couldn't live without Ramen. It's their food of choice...even when they have other options.

My teen loves Ramen, but with limited diet right now, hasn’t eaten any even though it would be ok to eat (soft), the packages remain in the pantry. But she’s making up for it in Mac n cheese consumption.

adding to winter chicken feed.

Good idea for the dried eggs!

Last year I bought a pear tree, of course it didn’t bloom in the first year,

We have 2 Asian pear trees. This is year 6(?) for them -maybe year 5. One has flowered since year 2. The other not at all. However, last year we broke off a limb accidentally trying to spread the branches. Pear has brittle wood, which is why it broke. So, it started to grow a new limb last year. Now this year, that new healthy limb has flowers!!! The others do not.

Brrr 28 degrees. Sky cleared overnight and we have sunshine. Yesterday evening I felt grumpy so I laid down for awhile. No need to use grumpy on DW. When DW is grumpy same thing. I go somewhere. If I stay she will use it on me.
