What did you do in the garden today?

[jillybeansisme]

I weeded the artichoke bed. Planted some tomatoes. Planted some perennials. Watered everything. Ate some strawberries from the tower. Sowed some seeds. Talked with my chickens. Checked on my baby chicks. Rehomed a rooster.

Busy, busy!

Ugh I feel rough. I need to buy some of that spray for my clothes. Says it works for chiggers also. Also can spray on dogs fur. Dog shares ticks with me. Trying to get my fishing buddy lined up but weather and schedules are a problem. Maybe next week.

The medium, and I think the large, need their own 15Amp, with nothing else running on it-20Amp is even better, but most don't have those kicking back, relaxing in disuse.
AND the room, when it's running needs to stay below 72'F.
Those two things are tripping people up.

Very good information to know, thank you!

Our basement is the only room that would qualify for reliably being under 72 degrees in the summer when I'd have produce to FD. It can be damp down there; enough to run a dehumidifier at times. Does a freeze dryer make a room more humid?

I'd be miserable in pants.

Yeah I usually wear shorts. These are cool Max fabric and it's hasn't been above 80f since I got them. I'll see how long until I have to go to shorts.

what breed of ducks do you have? I've heard that khaki campbell ducks don't ruin garden.

Rouen and Cayuga

Bought a new tractor tonight... Kubota L2502 with backhoe, bush hog, and auger.

Supposed to rain tonight and tomorrow. Reseeded (for the 3rd time) some things that haven't come up or came up patchy.

That is awesome!!! Love Kubotas. I want one!

The weed tea fertilizer I started last Sunday has been fermenting the last few days. Lots of bubbles in the bucket. All that wild yeast and bacteria is gettin' down to business!

Yum, (or should I say chum). Yah, chug it on down!

Not enough room to have anything bigger than a riding mower, but I'm still jealous!

Good to know about your Australorp pullet @Minanora. The place I got my chicks from have always been very good at sexing the chicks and I have never had a cockerell from them. I do understand that the Black Australorps are a little more challenging to sex.

I had a dream last night that she turned out to be a rooster. I'm blaming you!

Do any of y’all have indoor plants? If so may I see them?

I'll take photos of mine today!

Pants suck and so do shoes! Unless you're weed eating or using a power tool.

Ooooo! Nice bundle! We have a Kubota M6800 with the L1002 loader and a box scraper with manual rippers. Going to go out to the property tomorrow and scrape all the weeds for camping next weekend. I need a PTO mower....

Yesterday I pruned up all of my tomatoes. Sprayed spinosad, and harvested peas to give to the neighbor.

I caught that mole as well! Yay!
