Wow, your little hen is to be 12 and laying eggs, that is so good. I am looking forward to see my chickens live to that age.

I thought the picture of the tree holds your wheelbarrow captive could be an illusion photograph. The wheelbarrow must had been there since the tree was very small?

Yes, I think it’s been there about 10 years, first, it was so small I thought I will just pull it away, then it was a salpling which I thought I could bend away, suddenly, it was a tree I didn’t take pictures when it was small

Mowed yesterday. Had to take the car in for a recall. Killed the morning. Body said don't do much today and I didn't. Put down some grub control the BT kind. Grafted a little bit.

Yesterday, I shoveled the rest of the compost and build a raised bed and cut some wood, today, my body told me it needed a rest, you have to listen to your body

A mulberry tree branch was reaching over into our garden, hubby was afraid the weight of it would damage the fence, so I cut it off

I think 2$ a pot is a great price.

Here, regular tomato plants go for 1,50 € per plant, special ones can cost up to 6 €, but I‘m not sure people pay that kind of money

Spent the day sifting compost and adding it to my beds, almost time to plant the tomatoes, peppers and beans. Thinned out my beets for the final time, and found a vole burrowing under them! Put vole killer in the holes and praying I get beets this year! Can't imagine a year without my pickled beets!

Doesn’t the vole eat the critters that eat your beets?

All of our feed is locked away in metal trash cans... So the only thing dude has been raiding is the bowl of cat food on the tack room table. Or any stray eggs in hidden nests that I miss.

Peppermint horse treats eh? I might have a peppermint treat block for horses that you hang in the stall. Wonder if that would work? We usually use sardines to catch critters but I'm pretty sure I'd end up with the cats instead.

feed your cats at day time and let them catch mice at night. don't keep any feed available at night.

My Okra can barely handle the heat. It supposed to be sun loving, what's going on? They are struggling.
I'll try starting some seeds and grow then under a 40% shade cloth. My tomato season is over, and I am too sluggish to chop them down, it's too hot.

the same here with okra. they are sun loving but not desert sun, lol.

Does anyone take coop bedding(pine shavings) right from the coop to the garden? Currently compost it but also spread a bit directly to the garden.

used to do it when I had it.
