What did you do in the garden today?

Male plants make bigger - thicker spears. Females are slimmer due to seed production. You do not need females for a crop of spears.
So, in my asparagus bed, I have 11 clumps of asparagus - Am I looking for the clumps that only make thin stalks? One clump will only make thin or thick stalks, not both? Bc if some clumps make only thin stalks, i may want to dig up and replace all of them (maybe keep 1) to replace with more hoping to get to a vast majority male.


Sounds familiar...DH says no Mules, no Donkeys, no Horse, no Goats, no Sheep, no Dairy Cow, no Turkeys, no Waterfowl, no Peacocks, no more Guineas, no Dogs or Cats right now & I've reached my Chicken & Pigeon & Dove capacity. Rescues...well, I can't say what tomorrow may bring. Lol
Mostly the same with my husband. He's totally fine with the chickens. But, is just tolerating the goats bc teen has them for 4H. He wants to get rid of the barn cat, but she's a good barn cat - catches the occasional mouse and leaves all chicks alone. We've had chicks in the barn for 2 weeks, uncovered at night and not a single one gone. We do not have the space for really anything larger...but I WILL try ducks in the future (husband sighs when I say this), but need goats gone, which is most likely in fall 2025...unless we keep one bc teen still lives here and take full responsibility for it...in prep for this we will likely wether one of the smaller boys so it can be companion if needed.


Unfortunately, I truly am at my capacity right now & at least I do realize it
That is a good thing to know. The limits to still be able to care for properly.

He did not say 'no alpacas'.
 
Ok off topic question...so I donated some stuff yesterday & went inside, saw this for $2. Thought, ok cute, I can use it to cover pie. We usually bake the smaller pies. They had it masking taped together so I didn't open it. So I get it home...& it is just the exact size of the pie, so no, can't use it to cover the pie. Not big enough to rise dough, either.

My question is...what the heck is thing supposed to be used for anyway? Any suggestions?

DH thinks I only bought it cuz a rooster was inside, lol, but no it was taped shut, didn't see Mr. Roo til I got home. Looks like Mr. Roo depicted there may be an alcoholic. 😆 So what's this thing for? Covering sliced fruit wedges for drinks? We need a better use for it than that! Give me ideas!

Gotta be glad for business though...no matter what the economy, ya always got customers just dyin' for your service 😆 🤣 😂

(Hope no one is offended by offbeat humor)
DH was a funeral director & embalmer for over 20 years. He got burned out and decided to go back to college for another degree. His "day job" is now at the Health Dept but he retained his embalming license. He gets paid as a contractor to embalm for various funeral homes (called trade embalming in the business). Ironically he's had a big decrease in work because a lot of people are opting for cremation now instead of being embalmed.

Wow!!! Gotta love going to the thrift shop!!! Thanks, I did get a great deal. 👍 😃

Isn't that crazy? $49 for a cheese dome? Honestly, when we eat cheese, it does not last long enough to even use a dome. 🤣

Always like a deal though, made my day, thank you! I didn't know what it was for but you found it.
