What did you do in the garden today?

That's what I always plant.

Good idea!

Some of mine were large, some on the smaller side. My friend gave me 6 large ones. These have all been tasty.

The 6 I bought at the farmer's market were all large ones. Bland, blah.

I am definitely growing more this year. I had two hills last year. I think there were 5-6 vines, total. I had to pick them all at the end of August, because a deer got in and ate the vines. No leaves left, just nubs. One of the ones I picked wasn't ripe. I left it until December, and even though the skin was pale-ish, it tasted fine.

I'm glad I have a fenced in backyard where deer, etc. can't get in. Enough issues with feral cats coming in to in my raised beds & squirrels bringing walnuts from the neighbor's tree & trading them for my red potatoes.

Time to get a BBQ gun and start target practice.

My daughter just sent me a text from a job that she has just been accepted for. It's with the same hospital but she's going to be full time and get full benefits. I'm so proud of her.

It got up to 60 today so I had the first real opportunity to take a good look at the baby bunnies. There's 5....3 greyish brown and 2 white. They are fat as little butterballs and SO CUTE! Not all of them have their eyes open yet but it's close...

I'm amazed they survived below zero temperatures (at night) for over a week

Good to see you post about your rabbits. I am trying to learn rabbit color genetics to produce tricolor. So much different than chicken color genetics. I get such confusing answers. Everyone talks Allee letters but I feel they do not understand them very well.My calculations do not mach theirs. Litter due 2/15. I will then see the outcome.

Running a bit late this year with garden planning and yearly seed orders, but this morning I ordered garlic bulbs for fall planting. If anyone else is looking, Johnny's Seed still has some in stock. I'm surprised! They usually sell out by mid-January, so I'm tickled that I wasn't too late this year.

Do I get in trouble if I say that pumpkin cradle looks like a dolls potty?

Well……..YES. But you’ll just take the heat for those of us thinking them same but staying quiet. So……Thank You.

Exactly what I'm looking for. The new stuff is all garbage, built to be replaced every few years.

The appliance parts are ridiculously priced also. Luckily I have maintenance guy who is very reasonably priced that pretty much does all my electrical, plumbing, carpentry, etc.He does all my irrigation work. Individual specialists got too expensive. He turned my garden shed into a hen house with a run. We'll be adding a second run in May to get 3 more girls in June.
