What did you do in the garden today?
This was my experience as well. I got 10 butternut and maybe 10 zucchini. But I think my zucchini suffered from RKN. When I pulled them out there were no roots left. Totally rotted. Or maybe they were getting too much water, I have no idea. -

Hey! Not complaining, but factual. 🤣 Got a pretty poor harvest from most Cucurbitaceae family plants this year. But we got lots of green beans! And lots of stone fruit! 😁 -
What did you do in the garden today?
The 3M n-95 Aura is a good choice if you're wearing it all day. Or the 3M 9211+ if it's hot. I prefer the 9211+ while my spouse prefers the Aura. We have a soil fungus here that can cause "valley fever" so we have no choice but to wear masks in the dust. -
What did you do in the garden today?
That's a beautiful harvest! I planted 20 winter squash plants, more than one time, this year and the only fruit I got were 2 little kabocha, like 10 butternut squash and 1 table queen. I don't think I watered enough. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I'm envious. Over the last three years I've never had weeks of no eggs, until now. I've had to cut off my family from eggs. I have none to give, not even a stash for the winter. I guess I should have started hoarding earlier this year. 😞 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Been working in the garden all. Day. Long. Getting beds ready for planting in a few weeks. Moved all of the honeye strawberries into one bed. Worked the correct rates of sulfur into every bed except the two with strawberries in them. Those two beds will grow arugula, kale, lettuce, spinach... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I use the hi-yield dusting sulfur and the epsoma soil acidifier a few weeks before planting. Then I use bulb+ from MIgardener in the trenches at time of planting, plus compost and steer manure compost in the bed. I mainly use the sulfur to adjust the pH and protect from rot. My soil gets... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I put the problem child up on the roost with the low level girls once they are asleep. After a few days, sometimes a week, they roost with the rest. At least for my breeds they wind up forgetting that they were not okay with the loaner being on the roost. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I have 4 pullets, the one who was laying.... She tried to go broody and has not laid since. The other three.... I don't even know. They're 27 weeks old now and two are squatting, but no eggs. 🤷♀️ -
What did you do in the garden today?
Spent some time in the garden today getting beds ready for garlic, carrots, peas, kale, lettuce, beets, broccoli, and arugula. Got my sulfur for the garlic beds. Sifted all of the mulch out of three of the beds. Before and after photos. I am too tired to organize them. -

That's one fancy chicken coop. Good conversion. Congrats. -

This photo is a good reminder of why chickens are such great pets. McWeirdo. 🤣 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Yeah, I have them on pasture that's 28% protein. Plus their feed is 18% right now. I haven't gotten an egg in two weeks. 10 chickens, no eggs. 🤣 At least I get funny pictures. -
