This time a leghorn pullet was hanging in the same spot in the netting. Not moving, I thought the worst, but she was alive. DH helped get her unstuck. I took that area of netting away. I think they wanted to get up in the tree, and got stuck coming down. She just had a couple abrasions, one...

They will eat any grape, any size. No cutting necessary.

I've never seen cats with such spots. Cute as ever!

Come up this way for cool, wet, green, or go see @Shetland lover

Wet sheets, another great idea for cooling them off.

Stir fried bok choy, used green onions on steamed fish.

Harvested all the baby bok choy, some with flower stalks, and kale florets, some green onions. Slug bait and preen after weeding flower bed and pathway. Dug part of the sheep sorrel patch at the edge of another flower patch. That is hard to eradicate. So many rhizomes and easy to miss. It's...

Oh, allergies are really bad for the whole family this year.

I think the birds eat all of mine. Not one volunteered this year. Just planted some inside.

I can tell soon after if msg is used. Do not like its effect on my throat and body.

I hope we don't have the brown ones this year, but it's still cool and early. We'll see what happens next month.

Saw a big stink bug. They are trouble. The brown ones ruined most of my peaches last year.

Slugs, snails, are the first that come to mind. When you plant new ones, put out Sluggo, slug bait or traps at the same time. Hate when that happens to any plants. Bunnies would have eaten all of them, don't know if pepper plants are poisonous to them, though.

I am drying a whole bunch of oregano that I cut. For the chickens' supplement later.

Our seed library is in the library, but they only take seeds in labeled packages, as in seed packets. I wonder if I could start one? Not sure how to do that. Seeds, as we all know, are perishable in the wrong storage conditions.

Inflation has hit the seed market as well, don't you think? When everyone started a covid garden and got chickens, it also drove prices up, including coop building supplies.

Yup, that has happened to me more than I can count. Dang slugs!

Do you let your spinach have seeds? I was excited to harvest seeds last year, and they are growing beautifully. Did not know that there are male and female, both needed for pollination to occur. I am loving converting to an all heirloom, open pollinated garden. No need to buy seeds anymore.

Finally got the remainder of the germinated bean seeds planted yesterday, between rain showers. I had a less than 50% germination rate on one of my freshly bought packets of bean seeds. Emailed the company. I got wet the first time I had gone outside, it was sunny and the the gusty wind brought...

I think it could be it's cousin, whom he told where to hide. :lau
