What did you do in the garden today?

I finish the old fashioned pickles yesterday. I will be picking limas soon. I guess none of my yard long beans can up. :/. Or maybe they did and the month of rain killed them.

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.

You use it topically?

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

All I know is a friend took it during covid. He took pills he said. Horse paste same dosage per pound for me.

Orally.

Looking at the squash plant it seems all the upcoming blossoms are male, or at least I’m not seeing any mini fruits behind any of them. Must be patient!

Trail of Tears beans are starting to bloom en masse. Peppers are still looking stressed and potato plants are probably harvestable if I can figure out how to do it without disturbing everything else in that planter. Cucumbers have found the trellis, melon plants are still small - I think planting them together with the peas was a mistake, I think they got shaded out.

Many states are now beginning to offer ivermectin tablets over the counter... I'm in Arkansas. They approved for OTC in March but it didn't take effect for 90 days. I still haven't seen any available yet in stores but it should be coming soon. Here's the states below -

Chicken patient update -

Red finally managed to release a very large poop... I'm happy for that progress. I've been putting Flock 911 in her water which should help with that...

The tumor under her beak is getting much bigger. I am covering it with Ivermectin paste twice a day and also putting some in her mouth. So far it doesn't seem to be working. I'm wondering if I should try removing some of the tumor or if that could kill her or even make it worse...

of course, I would only cut around the wattle area, not her beak or throat. Just to give it a place to drain and maybe get medicine inside instead of just on top...

My zucchinis are doing the opposite. I'm getting female flowers with fruit but there've been no male flowers opening yet. I see small, green male flowers that should start opening within the coming week. I picked 3 more baby squash with blossoms this morning, probably have them for breakfast, sauteed with scrambled eggs.
