    Fertilizer Prices Expected to Skyrocket! Use Chicken Run Compost

    This is a bit of a tangent to the topic, but I’ve already gone through my seeds to pick out any that are old, unwanted, extra or otherwise unlikely to go into the ground in the next year or two and I plan to cart them off to the seed library in the next week or so. I also checked and they...

You’d...

    Hummingbirds

    Fertilizer Prices Expected to Skyrocket! Use Chicken Run Compost

    I would but I have no chickens. 😢 Instead I’m burying food scraps, old leaves etc. in the bigger containers. Not sure how much good it will do with no worms but 🤷‍♀️ Also I save the bones after I boil them in the crockpot for soup stock, they crumble really easily if you leave them in long...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    It looks like the random raspberry that started growing in one of my plant boxes is still alive, I can see leaf buds on it. Does anyone know how big of a pot they need? Once the planter is no longer frozen solid I’d like to move it to a pot so it doesn’t take over the box.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Harvested basil today. Outdoor planters are still frozen solid so no messing with those yet.

    That sounds fishy to me. If they don’t know what kind of cancer it is how do they know the drugs will work? Praying for your recovery regardless!

    Your 2026 Garden

    The twins have been doing well enough for long enough I moved them back in with the other seedlings. They actually have bigger true leaves than the ones that didn’t get transplanted. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Currently 3/5 on the ghost peppers. Memo to myself: if I grow these again, they never leave the heat mat until they break ground.
