What did you do in the garden today?

And, you'll keep them safe from any pests.

Can you tell us more about this? Do you apply the aloe vera? How do you do a detox?

My neighbor bought tomato plants and said that a bunch of them are cherry tomatoes, not canning tomatoes. She said the same thing happened last year.

Apart from the label, what is the difference between canning tomatoes and all the other tomatoes on the market?

Canning have far more meat and less juice/water that you can to boil off. They are usually higher in acid as well. But honestly, you can can pretty much any tomato.

The siding guys SHOULD be done tomorrow. It's just a little trim and the outlets and the light fixtures back up. I am exhausted between the noise, the mess, the noise, the music. They forgot to order some bottom trim, so they'll have to come back to put that on in a couple weeks.

Now I just have the gutters and downspouts and I hope that's only one day, MAYBE two.

I've baked for them once a day for two weeks as well.

Then next month is the deck guy.

I either have one dying of old age or she's the first with cocci. ( I think she 5, which is ancient for a California production white.) We've been so wet, that wouldn't surprise me. PLUS they've been locked up for two weeks all day long with only an hour free time before dark.

So as long as we're low on egg production ATM, I'll toss eggs and treat for cocci.

It's always something.

I didn't make it to the garden today. I got up this morning and just started sneezing. About 2-3 hours later I started again and about 1-2 hours later it started again. It just happened again. It's not just one or two sneezes it's like 4 or more.

I cleared out the last of the greenhouse tomatoes and cucumbers. And started prepping for autumn planting.

That was me all day. Ragweed season here.

I got my Hibiscus flower tea from amazon and tried it today. I was impressed with the dark red color of the tea. One tea bag makes 2 cups; It had a citric taste, so I added a teaspoon of regular sugar and a teaspoon of stevia and turned it into a high blood pressure beverage. I am making an all-out attempt to lower my blood pressure naturally with the addition of natural supplements and flax seed snacks to my diet.

I found battery replacements for my Makita 18V drills on Ebay, they were only $29 for 2 batteries with free ground shipping. I bought them even though I just received my new regular type of electric drill, it's really strong with 20V batteries. I just needed a drill to make 3.50-inch holes for my wicking buckets. I'll probably give the new drill to my brother or nephew.

that new drill is scam. I've got a similar one. my batteries say they are even 36V but size of battery says it is barely 12V. 20V battery is a bit bigger than your old 18V.

you can drill plastic or similar with the new one. a kid toy.

you can treat cocci with oregano, thyme, and basil (the same parts of each) tea. just put some in their drinking water. I also add some hot pepper. works 100%. you can also mix these herbs and hot pepper with their feed if you feed them mash. that way I keep in the same brooder chicks, turkey poults and ducklings. no cocci garanteed and no deaths.

people here squeeze lemons to lower blood pressure. plain lemon juice and it works within minutes.

The new drill was very strong; I almost got hurt when I switched the number setting to drill. My 3.50-inch hole saw gripped and spun the bucket out of my hand. I had to reverse spin to cut through, so it wouldn't grab.
