What did you do in the garden today?

It started to get cold at nights in the tropics. This is when my tomato/pepper season starts which is opposite from the mainland. This season, I will only grow 2 Hossinator tomato plants. I still have tomato sauce left over from last season.

My goal this season is to figure out how to grow large pepper plants in containers. I will use the original earth box kit I got last year with inert potting mix and follow the fertilizer instructions.

I have a lot of winter melon in my storage and have been eating a one-inch slice of it daily with my Costco Demon Hunter instant saimin and pork charsiu. It's spicy hot, but I think it taste perfect diluted with 3 cups of water. I really like this brand.

Given that the gardening season is over, or at least winding down and we have a moment to squeeze in a non gardening post I thought I’d go off topic a bit and ask this question.

We are wondering the same thing!

One of my hens, Merlin, had started laying again. Finally seeing the light at the end of the molt.

It rained here yesterday. Today it was a true fall day. Got some photos. Planted more lettuce and kale today. Going to rain until Tuesday then starts up again on Thursday.

Garden cleanup is done. I could pull some weeds, or not; I could spread some leaves as mulch.

I think I'll rake the side yard today, as it's going to be nice and warm, but maybe not, since it's going to be windy. But it's going to be a west wind, which is the easiest direction to work with.

So I might go work in the garden, or the side yard. Or not.

I've caught 34 mice in the chicken run over 4 nights. Taking a break tonight.

Been there, done that. I feel for you.

Hoping for a low mice summer - we had a really bad one last year - catching 5/20 a night in the drop trap in the avairies.

Please tell me your methods for such success. I see a drop trap mentioned, one of the bucket tip lids?


I was so tired when I posted last night that I couldn't finish my post. Was falling asleep while trying. I had to give up and just submit without explaining the photos. Lol

The garden is done for the year. I will haul down more leaves, and that's probably it until next spring.
