What did you do in the garden today?
We pick all by hand. It's a long day. There were 14 of us for most of the day. Then 7 of us picked until we ran out of light. The thing is, when you pick by hand, you don't get stems and way less leaves. So the quality of the oil is superior. We also pull out all of the bad olives and any... -

Today we harvested olives at my mother-in-laws. We ran out of light but got most picked. My guess is that we got roughly 1800#. Which hopefully gives 40ish gallons of oil. Maybe. I'm excited to find out the exact numbers! Pretty good year, not a lot of fruit fly damage despite picking late and... -

What did you do in the garden today?
I'm tired. Was a long week at work. I finally went to the garden today for all of 5 minutes. Most things are happy. I worked most of the day, went to Costco, went to the moto gear shop, then rushed home to pick up DS from school, unloaded the Costco stuff, left again to go to parent teacher... -

🤔 What's the fertilizer? What did your harvested beets look like? pH between 5.5 and 8, they should be fine. That harvest is at least something, but I definitely agree that the yield seems pretty low for that many row feet.... Kudos for sticking with it. Did you plant all at once? Maybe... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Beets! I recall discussing improving beets for the season. What changes did you make? I didn't plant beets this spring or summer. Took a break to focus on the strawberries I got. The beets I started a few weeks ago are coming on pretty well. They will do better now that I laid tomato cages... -

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 -
What did you do in the garden today?
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. -

No kidding. They love to ruin things.... All the things! Between mice and rats... 😩 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Two chicken limit.... That's not even a flock. I would go to the board and petition for three chicken limit for the well-being of the birds. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I forget that you're located so close. I'm glad you guys got some rain. We barely got anything from that storm. Looks like we're getting soaked with another system in the latter half of next week. Hopefully it's not too rainy next Saturday. We're picking olives. More garlic is coming up. It's... -

Happy birthday! 🎉 Yeah I thought I'd be happy with more light in the morning and less, soon to be none, after work. Not so much. Caught another roof rat this evening. That's 8 this year. 🤔 I'm going to set more traps in more places around the garden and house exterior. Also, our little... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I planted more lettuce. Super Red romaine. The arugula is coming up now. Pretty excited to have a jump on the winter garden. I'll get my hoops up soon. Still no threat of frost in the forecast. Usually we get a good hard frost by now. This was *two years ago on the morning of the 3rd of November. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I love chickens with mohawks, muffs or beards. 😂 Looks like a cream legbar to me but I have my brightness turned way down. Looks like maybe 22-25 weeks old ish. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I love that. 🤣 It really can be magic spray. Don't even need to remove the air filter, just "spray it". 😂
