    What did you do in the garden today?

    It was supposed to rain today, but so far everything has completely missed us... 😕 Guess that means I should probably go out and water the container plants before they get any more crispy.... Brought in 2 very small sugar pie pumpkins and a cushaw squash whose vines had been killed by SVB...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Remember how I said I've been trying to get dandelions to grow around here? Well today I found these growing in the pasture in just a few spots... 😂 Not the type of dandelions I was going for... I think God has a sense of humor. This is what is called a Texas False Dandelion.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Mine does try to use ours to mow the pasture from time to time, but he always sets the blade way too low. I try to keep it around 7-8 inches. That's enough to cut down the weeds but still gives the grass enough energy to not totally die out in the high heat and baking sun. He always cuts it down...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We have 2 regular riding mowers (Cub Cadet and a Husqevarna)... I couldn't even tell you how to turn them on. That's DH job... 😂 However, I do use the brush mower on the Kubota to mow around the barn and pasture. I hate, hate, HATE walking through grass or weeds above my ankles. Not to mention...

    I wash them, then chop it "fry size. Put them in a gallon ziploc bag. In a separate bowl, I mix the dry ingredients below. Then mix in the wet ingredients... Add the the ziploc bag. We deep fry for about 6-7 minutes. Then throw them in the oven on 375 for about 10 minutes. Helps them get a...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I don't know... I have never seen the ones from Montana. Probably would need to look up the species names and compare.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I know Gurney's sells them online. I've also seen them locally at Lowes. But I tried to go the cheap route and grow them from seed... However 2 years in a row, they failed to get beyond a half inch tall. I've tried to sow them in both pots and in the ground.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I order my sunscreen from an online company called Butter Me Up Organics. We took this on our cruise last fall. Worked wonderfully both in and out of the water. Ingredients: Coconut Oil*, Shea Butter*, Mango Butter*, Non-Nano Zinc Oxide*, Non-GMO Grapeseed Oil, Vitamin E*, Beeswax* *Indicates...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Kinda like me with the goji and huckleberries... Instead of wasting money trying to get seeds to grow, I may bite the bullet and buy established plants. Need to figure out if I'm going to end up moving first.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Yes, but they are awfully noisy. While my neighbors aren't close enough to see in the windows of my house, they are close enough that guineas would cause a lot of trouble... My chickens do visit one neighbor who puts out bird feeders in her back yard. Thankfully she doesn't get upset that my...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We have problems frequently with our mail person claiming "they attempted delivery of a package but no one was home." Bullshizzle. I work from home and rarely ever leave in the daytime. They are just too lazy to drive up the driveway and actually get out of the car to deliver anything that...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    It's not even noon yet and the regular temperature is already 97 degrees... Ugh. So hot and sticky... I watered the garden and potted plants this morning to help them better tolerate the heat today. Part of the zucchini plant that had collapsed has popped back up. I'm going to try to get some...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I won't use "regular" bug spray either... I have tried various homemade with essential oils, vinegar, etc...but nothing seems to work consistently. More times than not, I just go without....

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Made BLTs for dinner so I got to use my first ripe tomato for the season... ❤️❤️❤️ Used the last vestiges of my lettuce too. It was slightly bitter. I figure anything left is now strictly bunny food until the fall. 🥬🐇

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I have a couple different types of DIY bug spray....one with clove oil and peppermint. Another with lemon balm and lavender (I think?). They have inconsistent efficacy. Sometimes they work. Sometimes they don't.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I have one of those, although mine looks like little different. Very useful watering when you're like me and get distracted in the garden by a bazillion things during the process.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Didn't do much in the garden today. Apps say it's 88, feels like 93 which is 10 degrees cooler than we've been... But it still feels stifling hot to me. Mowed about 80% of the overgrown front pasture very early this morning before I ran out of gas. Not sure where DH hid the diesel so I guess...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Lost a zucchini plant today. It was covered in squash bug nymphs late yesterday. I went out to spray it tonight and it was collapsed. Could have been SVB too that did it in... I did spray the rest of the plants with spinosad... My tomatoes and cantaloupe too. Oh, and my kale which has been...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I understand where you are coming from... I really do. And I was the same way for a long time. But I've had a change of heart in the past 5 years. I just can't fault a critter for trying to survive. I made the conscious choice to only kill them if they are sick, actively attacking a person or...
