    What did you do in the garden today?

    Picked of some more dried pea pods today. It was supposed to rain today but decided not to, so I guess I need to water tomorrow.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My squash bloomed overnight! I think it’s a male bloom so I guess I need to look up ways to save the pollen until I get a female. 🤔

    Open Contest Outdoor Garden Show—2025 BYC Summer Fair

    I wasn’t going to enter, but lookit lookit how my squash is doing! *coughs* Entry #1: Squash bloom. It was a seed library seed, and the packet said it was ‘2000 Year Old Squash’ (a little digging brought up the name ‘Gete Okosomin’) donated by the local indigenous museum. Of the five or so I...

    I’ve heard jewelweed helps for poison ivy, but I don’t know if it would help if you’re allergic. 🤷‍♀️ There was me thinking the top ones were Iroquois Cornbread beans. 😅 I rented a truck from Home Depot to transport mine; warn your hubby if you use a box truck (there weren’t any rentable...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I think I saw chipmunk traps at Tractor Supply, the issue is I’m surrounded by woods and parks and such, so no matter how many I hypothetically trapped and killed, more would just move in. Thus I’ve been trying to repel/exclude them instead. I appreciate the suggestion though!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    God is watering my garden today so there isn’t much for me to do, but the dill is finally bolting as is some of the catnip. I also put some onion trimmings in the fridge, currently arguing with myself if they should go in the freezer instead since I have no current plans for them.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    No, this one was still alive when I found it, and it peed itself so now the garden box smells. 🤮 Luckily we have lots of rain in the forecast, and the netting survived well enough to continue doing its job without me having to handle it, but it would be nice if the little menaces just stayed out...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Welp, I can say with relative certainty the lemon peels didn’t work; I found another chipmunk that tried to hang itself in the garden netting today. 😮‍💨

    Here, this is the site I used to identify the Hitched Arches caterpillars eating my veggies last year.

    Just lost another hen

    I don’t know myself but I will ask some questions in case the information is helpful for someone who might know and be able to advise: Where did you get them from? What have you treated them with already? What are you feeding them? What are their living arrangements like? Any other symptoms -...

    Captain Jack’s in the ready-to-use spray bottle.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Supposed to be hot today again and the incoming rain isn’t supposed to manifest until tonight so I snuck out to water everything - only to find my water pressure is terrible. 🤨 Had enough to get the job done and not much else. I’ve seen white butterflies around my kale over the last day or so...

    Would you rather...

    Cat tongue would be useful for removing every last bit of gravy/syrup/ice cream/other sticky but delicious substance from the silverware. Frog tongue seems more gimmick-y, the big use would be to retrieve food from far away but that’s what arms are for!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Supposed to be hot again today. For now I just made sure everything was wet but I expect I’ll have to water again this evening.
