What did you do in the garden today?

Pollen from the Wattle trees in the bush block next to us is giving even me hayfever this year - so hubby is a wreck.

All the corn
Some of the soy is still two weeks out

That's a beautiful harvest!

I planted 20 winter squash plants, more than one time, this year and the only fruit I got were 2 little kabocha, like 10 butternut squash and 1 table queen. I don't think I watered enough.

I watered and got 2 hulless pumpkins. and the water bill will kill me.

I swear my chickens are drawn to the compost pile. It takes all of 5 minutes for them to make my pile flatView attachment 4227803

this pic gave me the idea of making one in my garden and plant pumpkins in it next year. pallets on 3 sides should provide enough shade.

New coop is nearly ready. Hole for automatic door is in, roosts done, nesting boxes done. Only thing left is the vinyl plank floor and relocating the fence to enclose new coop in the chicken yard. Floor expected to be done Wednesday to complete the coop. None to soon because we are out of room in the old coop, 5 grown birds, 2 teenagers, and 3 in the terrible twos. All this in a coop build to about 17 sq.ft. meant for 4 chickens. The new coop should be good for about 30, it’s 120 sq.ft. This is par for the course for me and my ‘in the nick of time’ management style. I’ve of late been physically putting the chickens to bed on the roost and calming the upheaval.

as soon as you finish your coop start another one. so you will be ready for the chicken math.

They are cutting corn here. Except that they got half way through one or two fields and haven't been back. I'm wondering if they're doing the soybeans now, instead? We hope to get rain tomorrow.

It’s supposed to be highs around 80s for the next few days but lows around freezing near the end of the week. Looks like I need to disconnect the hose and start moving in more of the stuff in pots.

Yes I quit watering. I only had potato and tomatoes left when I should have started. The garlic and onions were already harvested. Somehow they are still green

Ha, after the 5th coop I decided that I better quit building. I just fill up as many Poultry as I can stuff in them
