What did you do in the garden today?
I'm waiting for the report that 5 eggs a day is perfect, lol. We each eat 2 a day, every day. & then if I bake anything. I always hesitate to put an egg on my salad or snack on a devilied egg because I feel like we eat too many. 🤷♀️ -
What did you do in the garden today?
I have 100% switched to superb lids too. Much better quality. I was just out pushing the dirt away from my onions, they aren't doing all that hot this year - I think it's been too wet. I've had quite a few rot. But I had to get some fertilizer in them so now they're even more wet. 😂... -
What did you do in the garden today?
@Wee Farmer Sarah I hope you're ok! I had a fall right on my face in the middle of the street a few months ago. Dog jumped off a snow bank & took my legs right out from under me, couldn't even get my hands out to break the fall & smacked my head bad. I couldn't agree more on the sweet... -

Does anyone do pickled eggs? Any recipes to share? DH wants some... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I vacuum up the squash bugs with a little hand held car vac. I also only grow bush squash & tie them up a garden pole and keep them well trimmed - otherwise they grow under cover. Since doing this I really don't have much of a bug problem. *knockonwood* -
What did you do in the garden today?
They say if it's ripened enough, it will continue - but I've never had much luck with that. I love that. That's my goal as well these days. After all my back surgeries my health suffered and I gained a lot of weight. I've been working out, lifting weights, etc. It's so important, especially... -
What did you do in the garden today?
It must have to do with the weather. Very cold & rainy start then straight into a big heat wave. I wish I had a good outdoor place to dry my garlic & onions. Poor DH gets them in his shop. When you walk in the door the smell of garlic punches you in the face. :lau It's annoying, it pops... -
What did you do in the garden today?
My sister frequently gets vertigo & the Epley maneuver helps her within 30 minutes every time. Garlic is drying, it's disappointing this year - most are pretty small & so many are deformed. It's really weird. I've had this garlic for like 8 years & I've not seen anything like it. -

You have to blanche them first, otherwise they get gross. -
Preserving Your Harvest
Potatoes - who preserves them? This is my first year growing them, should I can them or freeze them? I don't have a good place to store them fresh so I must preserve. Thoughts? -
What did you do in the garden today?
My husband always reminds me of how expensive our first dozen eggs was, lol. Whatever, I know where my eggs come from & that my girls live the life. Same thing with the garden, it doesn't save me any money - but I know what I'm eating (or not eating, really). Hey all. Drizzling out there... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I was surprised, it seems so early. I found it dead, floating in the dogs outdoor water bowl. They aren't here en masse yet, but it won't be long. I'm glad I'm not the only one with peach issues, lol. I had SO many peaches too but the tree is young so I knocked off a lot of them so branches... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Wow, peaches already huh? What did you can - like sliced peaches or pie filling or something? Curious as this is my first year that my peach tree has produced. I don't know if I'll get anything tho, I just thinned the peaches & a bunch have teeth marks (stupid squirrels) and the rest are... -
What did you do in the garden today?
The weather today is just awful, isn't it @Wee Farmer Sarah? I put a fan on the girls at night, but I can't leave the door open because there are too many bears hanging around right now. I saw the first Japanese Beetle yesterday, joy. Garlic is starting to fall over (softneck), eyed a few... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Yea, cool weather crops are good here too! We had radish chips in the air fryer last night, they were good. & a big salad. My spinach already bolted, but it always does so much better in fall anyway. I did get out & fertilize the onion/carrots greenstalk, the peppers one & the misc one. I... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Hey garden peeps! Been a while since I checked in, things were a little crazy round here for a bit but have settled back down. Garden is doing nothing, it's been way too cold (and rainy). It was 42 degrees here yesterday - that's redic in June! It's supposed to be warm this week so hopefully... -
What did you do in the garden today?
How are all the southern snow folks managing? I hear it's gonna get REAL cold for you in a couple days. We got a teeny dusting. Just enough that I need to put the cleats on to go outside. 🙄 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Hey all. Nothing happening here, too cold to even go outside. 🥶 I wouldn't mind the wind & cold if we at least had some snow! Not a flake in sight. My reds have picked up laying again. Good girls. I need to start planning what I'm going to start indoors & go thru seeds. Not feeling very... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I should put the camera out there & see if we see anything happening. I assume they are climbing the HC (the ground) & trying to climb over the hot wire & are getting zapped. I'm not sure they're smart enough to jump over it & not touch the hot wire, but maybe you're right. I wonder if the... -
What did you do in the garden today?
With all the mouse talk I thought I'd show you my husbands insane idea to keep the mice from destroying the vehicles... 1/4 in hardware cloth, apron burried under stone with a hot wire run across the top. We haven't had a single mouse inside the DMZ (De Moused Zone as my husband calls it, lol)...
