What did you do in the garden today?

[Minanora]

Been working in the garden all. Day. Long. Getting beds ready for planting in a few weeks. Moved all of the honeye strawberries into one bed. Worked the correct rates of sulfur into every bed except the two with strawberries in them. Those two beds will grow arugula, kale, lettuce, spinach through the winter. The rest will be garlic, carrots, beets early on, and broccoli.

Oh yeah, and I'm making beans, cut tomatoes for canning and ready to roast tomatillos.

THe harvest dust with mold mixed in is the worst I've seen it here. Even DH is having problems and he's not allergic to anything.
@Justagalwithchicks how you doing over there??

My Red star egg layer chicks that I got on Sept. 15 will be 3 weeks old by end of week. They are already feathered out and were off the heat lamp at around two and a half weeks old. I have their pen in a spare room, and I started leaving the windows open at night. I'll move them outside when they are 4 weeks old.

I'll be checking if my old hen eggs are fertile tonight in my attempt to preserve my Cornish X/Breese F3 line. Their father is my 3 Isa Brown roosters I got off Ebay hatching eggs. I am not sure how the offsprings will turn out, but I am hoping for them to weigh at least 5lbs at 3 months old. They got a shot, since they will have some Cornish X blood in them.

I'm envious. Over the last three years I've never had weeks of no eggs, until now. I've had to cut off my family from eggs. I have none to give, not even a stash for the winter. I guess I should have started hoarding earlier this year.

This year's winter squash harvest is a little disappointing considering all the variety and quantity that we planted. Drought was a big factor and voles decided they like the plants as well. But it's not nothing.

Nothing in the garden today - it may be Spring in Aust - but the clouds think it is Winter so it has rained all day.
It was girls get together arvo - so I went and played board games and gossiped (oops that should be solved the worlds problems)

Good. So, we can expect the world to be at peace now?
