What did you do in the garden today?

[dirkandlorie]

So what do you want to know? My wife and doctor do not know I take it.

What kind of conditions does it help? Long covid? Liquid or paste? Dosages? Any info you can think of that would be helpful.

I have no clue why I am still propagating more tomatoes I am out of tomato space

I found out why… I also was reminded why I shouldn’t slack on tying up tomatoes. The entire plant was destroyed

Pulled a couple of small cabbages and made sauerkraut. Going to pull a couple others tomorrow and make more Pepper Cabbage. It's a tradition I do with my mom since we are the only ones who eat it. May leave one cabbage or so in the ground, but we are going to get extremely HOT next week. We did get close to an inch of rain overnight, with high winds that knocked even more trees down in my neighborhood. The windiest year! had two broccoli plants left over after harvesting the heads. The side shoots didn't come as usual..... Nothing wasted, the chickens got them and they were loaded with cabbage worms.

THOSE WINDS this morning were NUTS! We managed over an inch of rain.
I hoping to hay this next week.
I wander into the garden on occasion, but really could care less this year for some reason. There is just too much going on elsewhere around the place.
I need to get a batch of kraut going, maybe friday. I am going to try cutting it outside this time. Last time I cut it inside, and it made me very very very ick

Baker seed, I think? But I haven't purchased in 2 years so it's old seed.

I think mine are from MIgardener. I'll have to double check. Mine are from last year.

I caught another skunk... I went to go bag the dead one for the bin and saw the trap door was closed... Luckily I had a trenching shovel to get the carcass of the dead one by the trap. So I didn't have to get close. I'm trying to decide how to put this one out of it's misery.

Ugh.

Second freeze dry batch is done and bagged. This one took two days. Letting it defrost over night.

Watered a little this evening. We ate green beans from the garden last night and the night before. Yay! All pole beans from the volunteers.

I fileted 6 tilapias from my tilapia tank and used the bones to make a collagen enriched white soup. I seasoned it with ginger, green onion, salt, and mushroom seasoning. It tasted neutral like white beef bone broth. I am glad I tried it. I usually throw the bones away after fileting the fish.

Thanks... My poor girl has been unable to poop for 2 days now. I checked her vent and there's no blockage that I can see. The vet did warn me that she likely has tumors in her intestinal tract too...

I'm still giving her the ivermectin but I realize her time is limited to hours now since she is unable to eliminate waste. She doesn't appear to be suffering badly though. She still chatters to me when I go into the sunroom and does pick at her food occasionally.

Very sad.

We had to put our one hen, Clarice, in the garage and turn the A/C on again, she suffers the most in the heat and humidity. We know she’s good to go when we find her sitting on top of the upright freezer.

I went out to pick some fresh greens for dinner. Enough arugula and lettuce for 2 large salads, some kale for tomorrow and Swiss chard to cook up if it ever cools down enough to want to turn the stove on. We’ve been grilling and eating salads all week!


If no one minds…

Do “you” take the horse paste? If so, how would you dose, and how often? I have been reading about the benefits and may venture into the land of maybe giving some to my 110 pound “horse”

Yes, horse paste. The plunger is calibrated in pounds. It is impossible or nearly so to overdose. Hound hunters use it for heartworm prevention (heart guard) but cheaper once a month. My case I dislocated my right shoulder 11 years ago. About 1 year ago while working above my head my shoulder flared up. After months I went to the ortho doctor and got a cortisone shot and PT. Arthritis. After 2 - 3 months it was back. DR would not do again until 4 months. One would at 3 months. Got the shot and was told really should wait 4 months. 2 months later started to come back. Ivermectin keeps it away. I take it when the pain starts to come back. About 2 weeks or so.
