What did you do in the garden today?

[Sally PB]

I got some weeding done, and then hubby and decided to "peek in the beehive." That turned into a 3 hour diversion.

I'll do some more in the garden tomorrow. Monday too, until eclipse time. The next eclipse anywhere near me is in 2099. So this is it for my lifetime.

LOL, this guys been living under the shed for years. He doesn't bother anything, he's never even gotten in the garden.

Everything appears to have survived! Hooray! If it had not rained, I'm sure I would have lost a lot of fruit.

I was wrong. Lol. I lost about half of the growth of my grape vines. That's ok. I also lost some flowers, and some leaves in the hoop house. but the plants will recover.

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.

In the reading I have done on this, it is suggested to dehydrate eggs at 165 degrees in order to kill any potential salmonella.

Which is why I scramble b4 drying.

Have you tried this type of cooked and raw eggs in this video? I make this when I have a lot of eggs, they go fast.

Definitely going to try this next weekend... My son loves Korean food. Just have to go pick up some stuff from the store to do it properly. Thanks for sharing

All the GreenStalks are finally filled with my own mix & stacked! 3 are planted, 3 need warmer. Phew, that was a lot of work for someone with a 5lb weight limit, lol. The garden needs some work before I can move them out there. LOVE the red. View attachment 3793489View attachment 3793490

I'm so jealous of your red one! I wish they still offered that color.

We are doing a complete tear off & reshingle of my gardening shed. Only got it half way done because the boys didn't really start until noon and then were really slow about getting the roof felt down. Youngest is heading back to his college campus in the morning. My SIL is supposed to come take his place so hopefully we can get it done quickly. I still have one more raised bed to try to get into place tomorrow before storms come on Monday afternoon...

I fertilized the strawberries and raspberries today. Moved my tomatoes to an outdoor greenhouse tent. Since I haven't yet purchased a replacement cover, I'm using a clear shower curtain and bungee cords to MacGyver one...

Cold, wet, and windy again today, so I stayed inside once the critter work was finished. I used my last 2 stewing hens and made a big pot of chicken soup and finished it with a little fresh lemon juice. Made us feel warm inside.
