What did you do in the garden today?

…..and the downside is?

The $200 a month feed bill

The $200 a month feed bill

Well if you insist on being pragmatic about it nevermind. What would that work out to be per egg?

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

Ok, what is a Wattle tree?

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.

If it wasn't at 16% moisture, they may have had to load and haul and dry to store.
Or maybe they clogged something, or the undone part of the field was too wet/boggy.
Or maybe the beans were closer to ready.
Or maybe they have multiple varieties in each field to maximize the yield on the weather.

Went to feed the ducks and found a pumpkin that I forgot yesterday. There's a pumpkin growing over the fence and I told the neighbor that her daughter can pick it. She's offered to trade the pumpkin for a butternut squash. Works for me.

More lettuce seeds harvested today. And I know I’m missing a bunch. I am going to have so many volunteers next year.

The biggest pumpkin is the one I picked yesterday and forgot to bring in. The other one got weed whacked off the vine and I was trying to do a little more weeding and found it

I am glad I bought an electric air blower for the ion batteries I purchased by mistake for my Makita drill. I am making good use of it. I use my air blower to clean my mosquito zappers. This zapper cost about the same as replacement bulbs for my Dyna Mosquito trap and it's easier to clean. I like this zapper because it also kills other things like fruit flies and flying termites.

I haven't had a mosquito bite in a very long time. I think the mosquito dunks also helped, this was my first year trying the dunks and I notice the difference.
