There's something germinating in one of the seed cells sitting next to the living room window. I have no idea what it is... I didn't label them. Could be sage, rosemary or ???. I forgot what I planted in one starter tray. Got a new toy today, a weed burner torch. I hit all the weeds growing...

I'm checking out YouTube videos now. Found a couple of interesting ideas.

I'm thinking about making a table and some simple chairs or bench seats with all the pallet boards I have accumulated. I think the boards range between 19" to 26" long. Bench seats with no back would be easiest.

Sorry your old girl went to the coop in the sky. I need to plant some more marigold seeds. I like to have them scattered all over the garden because they repel pests, or so they say. @pennyJo1960 , I was thinking about your sourdough starter you made for your garden. I wonder if the weed tea...

I pulled 6 nice eggs out of the nest today.

Good point! Nothing but gravity and friction is holding the cover in place now. Maybe I'll add a screw at two opposite corners to tack it down, just in case a big gust of wind blows through.

The weed tea fertilizer I started last Sunday has been fermenting the last few days. Lots of bubbles in the bucket. All that wild yeast and bacteria is gettin' down to business!

My chickens lay around 150 eggs per month. Selling 6 dozen a month would cover the cost of chicken feed and I'd still have two or three a day for myself.

Sorry about your hip. I have a lot of that ok-ish janky-ish fence around my garden. I found 50 feet or so of fence all crumpled up and half buried in the woods last year and straightened it out so I could use it. I think it's hog wire. Small spaces at the bottom graduating to larger spaces at...

The daikon leaves were outgrowing the cover I had on the bucket so I built a new cover today out of scraps of lumber I had laying around. Sorry I didn't take pics of the cover framing before I tacked on the floating row cover.

The leaves on my bucket o' daikon were trying to grow out of the floating row cover that was bungee'ed over the top, so I built a new cover today. The daikon leaves have room to spread now. I built it with scrap lumber I had laying around, then covered it with previously used floating row...

Six eggs today, and maybe one more but I doubt it. I sold my first two dozen eggs today! I hadn't planned on selling any but my neighbor texted me wondering if I had any to sell. I had two dozen nice brown ones in the fridge I was saving to maybe make pickled eggs someday, but selling them...

After all the justifications as to why there's no problem with their seeds, I'm glad that they'll do whatever it takes to make things right with you. But this part is kind of concerning... ...Additionally, seed packages may be subjected to irradiation by the postal service... What the heck?!!

Thanks. Yeah, I read that somewhere. The big problem here is the temperature. It's still too cool to be direct planting okra seeds. Too cool, the plants go dormant and are more susceptible to diseases. So if the seeds I planted in the garden don't work out I'll drop in the potted plants... if...

I dumped all the zinnia seeds I saved last year into a half gallon container and it looks like most of them germinated. There will be lots of color around the house and garden this year. LOL

I think I planted too many zinna seeds in the yogurt container. :eek: They were seeds I saved from last year's zinnas. The first attempt in a smaller pot yielded only two plants, so I figured the seeds had a low germination rate. I put the rest of the seeds in the yogurt container and hundreds...

Hey, I just finished mowing my yard too, but I didn't pull out the weed eater. Minus the garden, buildings and areas under the trees I think I have about a half acre to mow. Thanks. I planted onion sets this spring. If I remember I'll leave a few and see what they do next year. I didn't know...

I've always loved okra for as long as I can remember. My grandma fried them whole and called them Garden Fish. LOL Got gas for the lawnmower and stopped by the store for a box of produce waste. The chickens are snacking on blueberries, strawberries, tomatoes, snap peas, endive and cabbage...

Looks like a 5 egg day today so far.

Okra is planted. I direct-seeded in the row I dug out yesterday and have 17 solo cups with okra seeds in them for backup.
