    Snow and ice is practically gone here. Just trace amounts in my yard and on the sides of the roads, mostly up in the tree line. Still big piles in shopping center parking lots though.

    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...

    Well, I thought I was going to finally sell the Poplar Bluff house. But then the buyers decided they wanted to look around more. So they backed out of the contract. They hadn't even gotten an inspection done or anything. I get the earnest money, which isn't much, but I would have much rather...

    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.

    We need a care emoji. I did cull one of the roosters, but I still have 3 more that need to go. I just keep putting it off.

    How is everyone doing? My garden is done now thanks to the frosts we have been getting, so the last couple of days I have been cleaning them out. Some predator wiped out half of my flock a few days ago, so now I have 5 roosters and 6 hens. I need to get out there and butcher some of the...

    Preserving Your Harvest

    I harvested about a half bushel of Jerusalem Artichokes. Last year I tried to dig all the phone tubers out, but I apparently missed some and got a huge harvest. Unfortunately, I wasn't that fond of them. Does anyone have any suggestions as how to preserve or prepare them that they find to be...

    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...

    Seems to me they only want to be where I don’t want them. 🤣 They get in my car and I try to roll the windows down so they can leave but they just want to stay in the car. 🤬

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Driving an hour and half each way to take the 4th grade grandson to play football in Linn, MO. So I doubt I’ll have much time to do anything in the garden today

    Maybe that’s what they are here too and I’ve always just called them by the wrong name. 🤷‍♀️
