    What did you do in the garden today?

    I cut back a lot of leaf growth on my tomato plants. I have a marjoram plant that is trying to take over one of my raised beds. I feed it to the rabbits but that's about it. I should probably dig it all up. I wish my oregano plant was doing that good.

    The death count in Missouri so far is 12 or 13 from the tornadoes on Friday.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We had lots of tornadoes in Missouri last night. Thankfully, we escaped any damage which is kind of remarkable because there were several tornadoes that touched down in multiple directions each about 30 minutes away from us. Lots of hail and rain too.

    Beautiful day out today!! I pulled some weed greens and threw them into the chicken yard. I'm still trying to find some chicks at the local feed stores ( there are 3 near us). So far they have all been sold out. One told me they will be getting some ducks on Wednesday, but I don't want to mess...

    I checked my garden to see if any of the asparagus was coming up yet. It wasn't. I also put wood ash in the garden.

    I pulled a muscle a couple of days ago and all I was doing was bending over to put something in my daughter's dishwasher. I'm 62, will be 63 on the 14 of this month. My back is still sore and I'm having to be extra careful with it.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I did toss a small bucket of rabbit poop into the garden. That was my only gardening activity. But, I did get 6 chicks that successfully hatched in the incubator this weekend. Unfortunately, I also had 1 chick that only managed to get about half out before it died. Plus, there were 4 other eggs...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Yes, but without much success. Edited to add: I only tried growing potatoes in 5 gallon buckets, I didn't plant anything in the top.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I live just outside of St. Louis, we got about 2 inches of sleet and very little snow (if any). The kids were off school all week! Some neighborhoods are still bad because of the ice and temps that have warmed enough to let the road ice start to melt but then temps drop again and everything...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    No, I have never treated for mites. My first year I had planned to but my mentor got too busy with her own bees and life and too be honest I am a bit afraid to try to treat them on my own ( other than using swiffer sheets, which I have tried). I have tried to find a different mentor but haven't...

    I got my first seed catalog in the mail today! Gurney's. Already planning for more tomatoes! My bees in the 1 hive I have left a few weeks ago. :hit I have not successfully overwintered bees yet.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Harvested about a third of my Jerusalem Artichokes. I got about a half bushel basket full! The funny thing about that is that at the end of the previous Summer I tried to dig out all of the tubers as I didn't want to grow it anymore. All I found were small tubers and not very many at that...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I forgot to tell you all I bought 10 day old pullets 4 days ago. I got 2 black astrologers, 4 buff Orpingtons, and 4 Americana’s ( I’m sure they are really Easter Eggers). The first full day ( I brought them home in the evening and set them up in a brooder in the chicken barn that I’ve used...

    OMG. This strawberry jalapeño jam is a disaster!! 🤬 The recipe called for 4 cups of crushed strawberries to 1 cup minced jalapeños. It is soooo peppery you can’t even taste the strawberries. 😢 I’ve been adding more strawberries (x3) and strained out most of the jalapeños.Then removed 4 cups of...
