What did you do in the garden today?

[Minanora]

These are my favorite types of days. Cloudy, humid, 72°, trees still have leaves.

Today I'll clean the chicken coop if it doesn't rain.

Dimensional lumber can be untwisted if all you're using it for is something simple like framing.

I wish I had one of those days right now. I have so many outdoor projects to work on and I leave (last minute unexpected but necessary trip) for a couple of weeks tomorrow before sunup.

It's currently 89 and intense sun and not even the hottest part of the day yet. I'll definitely need to mow this evening. The rest, unfortunately, will need to stay partly done until my return.

Here's my stash of HomeDepot cull lumber. Quality evidently depends on who's sorting it out. Most of what I get has minor splits or dings. I only buy warped or twisted pieces if there's enough usable for a specific project I have in mind. I buy wide boards intending to rip them into 2x4 widths.

Is this stuff marked as culled somehow?

They mark each piece with spay paint here. Lilac, purplish? Not sure what color it is. And it's all piled together on a couple of carts in the middle of one of the lumber aisles.

Are those going to be winter houseplants?

I went to the garden, saw a couple little tiny cabbage worms on my kale. Before I could get my sprayer out we got a huge downpour. Temps dropped into the 50s overnight, and even more rain for two days. Figured my kale would be chewed to nothing by the time I got back down there to spray. Nope, there was nothing on my Kale but one dead small worm. Apparently fall rains and cold temps knock them out, who knew? Hang in there with your kale, could be just keeping them covered til bugs are knocked out will do the trick.

Same. I noticed I had some small cabbage loopers worms and a bunch of Harlequin beetles on my kale. Downpour and overnight temps into the 50s. No pests anywhere on them now...

The new stray buns (we named her Clarice) has clearly never been potty trained. She poops and pees wherever she's at... So her cage is quite nasty. I had to clean it today. Gave her a nice clean, thick bed of shavings...it'll have to do until I can get some PDZ. I kept the litter pan (pine pellets and shredded paper) in the cage and put a hay feeder over it to encourage her to stay in it. Going to have to read up and figure out how to potty train a rabbit or if she is too old since she's no longer a kit.

I really need to go weed the garden but it's so hot outside today. I've not done a whole lot today but feeling so exhausted.

It has a purple paint mark on the ends and is in a large lumber trolly in one of the lumber rows.
