What did you do in the garden today?

Just a small pour! Did you also use half n half in yours? I usually don't put any sugar in my coffee at all, so when I make this creamer it's sweet for me, but not to sweet with the half n half.

I used sweetened condensed milk, heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla, almond extract, and a tiny bit of butter.

It ended up tasting like bitter almonds.

I was feeling lazy today so I threshed the easy seeds: peas and beans! Outside I got my first snow of the season - nothing that stuck yet but I had to put the deicer in the birdbath.

Meet Moses. I don't have a mouse problem.

And here's Tommy, Charlie, and Jack. They patrol my Brother's house in the middle of 16 country acres.

My mom asked me if I had ever seen or heard of a pregnant onion and I said no. I told her that I saw a really cool looking plant in her yard and it looked like it had really cool looking flowers on it and she said yes baby that's the pregnant onion. I asked if I could get one from her and she dug it out for me. It's a really beautiful looking plant I am so excited to see the flowers it produces. I have it in the house right now but I will get it planted eventually. I'm working on making a flower bed and I want to have so many flowers growing it's going to be amazing and beautiful. If anyone wants 1 I will see if I can get a bulb from it.

I never heard of it and had to look it up. Looks cool but toxic if pets or people eat it.

At war with mice. They are getting in the garage. Bait is useless they will not eat the two different brands 2 different ingredients. Barely touched the homemade last year. Warfrin was the best but not available. Traps are set. My indicator is sunflower seeds. Any around will eat those.

Have you tried baking soda and jiffy corn bread mix? I tried this and it worked. I don't have any more rats running around.

For your information, don't buy bucket traps they do not work. I bought 2 different types of bucket traps, and they didn't catch anything.

I think the Burpee brand Marconi isn't the 12-inch giant ones I see on YouTube. I get 4-inch ones from my Burpee seeds, so I am trying another company with a picture of bigger peppers as seen below.

Thank you for letting me know but I am going to fence the flower bed because the chickens will definitely want to dig everything out.

Looking at seeds for next year. MIGardener got the Inciardi Tomato seeds back in stock but doubled (!) the price.

Currently torn between buying them somewhere else out of spite (fully aware that shipping costs will more than make up for any theoretical savings) or just growing something else. I already have San Marzano in the cart.

No photos from last night?! Here's just a couple of mine. It was very visible with the naked eye. You could see without a light on bright! And while they pulsed high and low all night, they exploded again about 530am!
