It was too hot to be outside. I watered the clover, set a bunch of traps, packed for my trip. Planted nothing. Watered those pumpkins so they won't die while I'm gone. Broody didn't break. She's back in the jail. 🤦🏻♀️
After looking at that ingredient list I cringed. The fact that a company can make that and call it a food. Ugh. It's not fair to consumers.
I'm exhausted. Saw a giant rat run by the garage last night. Setting up more traps!
I've caught two opossums in the last week with the live trap...
Sounds like you need to dry some milk! 😜
I keep powdered milk in the pantry. I bought mine though. That trigger finger is really getting itchy... Maybe they will have an independence day sale... Your freeze drying content is very encouraging. 😁
I'm behind. 😂
It's been in the high 70s low 80s here. Night time temp is hanging out at around 50. My peppers aren't amused. Nor is my zucchini. Tomatoes are putting up with it pretty well. Butternut squash is all about it. Strawberries as well.
Picked blackberries yesterday evening. Almost...
I see the posts about the rain. I'm so jealous. It was 104 here today. We haven't seen rain in ages. Lol
So I'm serious about that gopher portal. I killed one yesterday in that spot. Not even 16 hours later there was new fill dirt in the holes. I am just beside myself with this craziness. My...
Last night I watered my herb patches I've started all over the place. I kinda forgot about three of them so they were very thirsty. 😅
The cucumber seeds I started directly in the garden are coming up and the green beans are already pushing up soil with their stem loops. Should see leaves in a...
What's your sales tax rate? And how often do you have to pay vehicle registration? We pay 8.25% sales tax here. Vehicles have to be registered every year. Including the boat that I pay property taxes on and our travel trailer. Dirt bikes and other ohvs are every two years.
You should get new seals, and check the calibration on your pressure gauge. AG extension office ftw for all the things. But no, really, don't skip on it.
Follow instructions. This winter I blew my pressure gasket and cooked one of my fingers to the bone in less than 15 seconds with a bad seal...
I'm at my computer... I can't find my phone. So no photos of the yard just yet. BUT. I GOT THE DRIP DONE!!!! and all of the mulch aside from the potato bed. Not done planting the new peppers, tomatoes, and beans. So yeah. I'm so tired. DH liked his new coolers, golf balls and free pass on the...
We thought about taking the 4 seater RZR out today... Thought about taking out the boat. In the end we decided to use the childs new waterslide thing from costco. Had a blast!
Ours is like 2700/yr. 0.31 acres, in town (I can walk to the store). Detached garage where my laundry is. 😂 But we bought at a good time. Neighbors is 3x that almost now maybe even more, I haven't looked recently. It's brutal.
I usually pickle at least a few jars of hot carrots every year. I'll...
Nothing sexier than being covered in grit, sunscreen, and flakes of sweat salt.
You and that freeze dryer! It's been almost a year with it now right? You got the large? Seems like you make good use of it and like it. I'm still waiting to pull the trigger. My finger is getting itchy.
Yes. Depending on the variety of carrots you grew, they are either delicious and a good texture, or delicious and kinda like baby food. 😂
The only way I can get my DS to eat carrots is by boiling them or canning them.
Yeah we don't do things to the house that let them adjust the value enough to warrant reassessment because of how much taxes would be. We do pay property tax on our boat... Yeah. That. 🙄
Yeah they actually need more nitrogen than you think. Especially if you're using organics. And like I said, keep the soil evenly moist. They absolutely hate getting dry. But hate wet feet. Loamy soil or straight compost is good for planting.
