Stormcrow's Hobby Farm

Do you have garlic planted this year? I just finished cutting all the scapes on mine. I will digging a test bulb sometime in the next few days.

It's a little early, but I *need* some fresh garlic!

Did you use up all the scapes?

I do, next to my scallions. Haven't done much gardening of late, we've had inches and inches and inches of water from the sky. If things aren't rotted, and not eaten by the hornworms (all my tomatoes), they are being overgrown by weeds so tall I can't even see the asparagus plantings!

[Yes, there IS asparagus iin this picture, promise! (a full dozen plants)]

I love the rudbeckia.

Did you use up all the scapes?

No, not yet. Hubby did say my breath stunk when I ate some of them raw, so I've been cooking them instead.

I'll probably freeze them in a few days. The bags will migrate to the bottom of the freezer. I'll find them in the middle of winter and get a taste of summer.

Going to set more chicken eggs this weekend. So why am I posting here, instead of on my "Culling Project" page???? Because I'm also going to throw some turkey eggs in the incubator, do a split hatch like when I do chicks and ducks at the same time.

No idea if the turkey egg is fertile, our tom is very big and has almost no balance. Our hens aren't small either (big breasted bronze) - strongly suspect the mechanics aren't possible for the pairing at this point - but willing to be pleasantly surprised if I'm wrong.

Time to greet the morning -

Our dog Freya stretches her back legs that way.
