    Do Chicks Care About Calcium? Or is it about companies and outdated studies

    I've asked. Sometimes people will. Sure! they say. When I ask if they have any, I often get, "Oh, I forgot! I just threw a bunch out." I do get some eggshells, but not enough. I have to give the chickens another source of calcium, but dang it ladies! Please eat some of it!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    JB love grape vines. They are often on my asparagus. Last year they PILED onto marigolds. They like the weed velvet leaf. They killed my hazelnut trees, so for me, this war against them is personal. JBs on velvet leaf:

    I can about 60 quarts of tomatoes, usually. This year, I might do more, as I have more uses for them. A neighbor does about 150. :bow, Betsy!

    Things you wish you could say

    We have a grandfather clock. It runs on gravity. It does not have an app. It never will need an app. When the world falls apart, it will run as long as someone pulls the weights once a week. It indicates the time of day. It chimes every quarter hour. That is all, and it is lovely.

    Would you enter?

    Same here. Canning for me ramps up about that time. It's mostly all tomatoes and salsa. Though I did make some black raspberry/honey jam... and might have enough berries to make another batch...🤔
