What did you do in the garden today?

I have an unhealthy seed addiction. Speaking of which I need to check on a website to see if they got new seeds in

There's worse things to be addicted to.

My grandson has the dumbest dog ever a big ol Rott. They were gone and he was in a big crate. Whining needing to potty. I took him out on a leash and they come home. The dog gets excited to see the kids and jerks me off my feet. They say I fell and I say no that dog jerked me off my feet. From now on I will not take him out. I asked him do you put effort into finding stupid dogs?

I probably shouldn't have laughed at that. Are you alright?

Well done! You have been missed around here, but see it was for a good cause.

Well the new shed is done. We were going to make this the new coop but decided to repurpose the old shed into the ‘new’ coop. New shed 10’x16’, the old shed(the barn style shed) is 10’x12’. The red coop is the one I built when we started down this path.

Thank You, you’re so kind.

I pulled 15 pounds of tomatoes from the garden this morning. I'm not sure what variety they are because they're from saved seeds.

They don't look quite like Roma tomatoes, too pear shaped I think. Whatever they are, the plants have definitely produced well.

Most of these are from six plants. I've already picked a lot, and there are LOTS more green ones.




ETA: Actually they look like San Marzano tomatoes. Size is right too, about 3.5 inches.


Some of my ripe ones...

There’s tons on the street now too so lots around

One year we collected a bunch from a friend, took the husks off (definitely need gloves and an acute awareness of potential staining), let them dry out, cracked them and collected the meat. It was a lot of effort BUT when you look at what can be harvested from what most would consider rotting yard waste its very satisfying…..and a blessing.

How did you get those husks off? A friend of mine drives over them with her car, lol. Says they're too hard to get off any other way, but if you have a better way ill pass it on to her.

We just stomped on them. The real work comes when trying to separate the meat and shell. Black Walnuts are more entwined with shell than english walnuts. Best option: Sam’s club and stock up when they have them.
