    What did you do in the garden today?

    Like @gtaus, my fertilizer is home made. I do buy amendments from time to time. Last year, I bought gypsum to add calcium to the soil where I grow tomatoes to combat blossom end rot. (It worked VERY well!) These bagged items are not cheap, but they have worked well and have lasted a long time...

    🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

    I know what you mean about the topography! The local forecast people are in Grand Rapids, 35 miles away. We're usually a couple degrees cooler than they are; sometimes more, sometimes way more. Our thermometer is up at the house. Operative word is "up." One garden, the cherry trees, and the...

    Finished my hat. Have an idea for the next hat. Put scaled milk and yogurt culture in the Instant Pot to make a batch of yogurt overnight.

    What made you happy today?

    We (hubby) got the trim pieces up in the bathroom! It took the threat of company coming over next Saturday to do it.

    Hello from the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan

    Hi from a Michigander (a troll)! :frow Hubby and I have been to Copper Harbor several times. What a beautiful area. ("Troll" in this case means someone who lives below the bridge, ie, in the lower peninsula.)

    Killay retires to peace and quiet with some company. What a fitting retirement for a wonderful rooster.

    🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

    You guys are SO far ahead of us! We have daffodils in bloom. That's it. No flowering trees yet. Technically, maples and "the tree down the road that drops catkin-like thingies" are flowering, but not the "pretty" flowers like cherry, apple, and redbud. Those are a few weeks away.

    Helpful hints for building coops

    2.5-3" of rain in the past 24 hours. The ground is saturated (no longer frozen). There are big puddles out in the alfalfa fields near us. I'm putting off planting seeds in the green house until next week. I was hoping to do it by April 1st, but we have 3-4 nights of below freezing temps coming...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I think I'll be planting seeds in the green house this coming Tuesday or Wednesday. It's going to be chilly at night; 3-4 nights of below freezing temps. Tuesday and Wednesday look to have some sunshine, so I hope the pots warm up enough.

    Poured rain off and on all day, so I didn't do much. I did take a nap, falling asleep to the sound of the rain. I knit more on my hat. I could finish it tonight, but I'm going to leave it for tomorrow. It's not going to be much nicer weather tomorrow, so I need more indoor stuff to do.

    Dang, DL! My foot was cringing as I read your post. Are you going to need stitches?

    What did you do in the garden today?

    About 2.5-3" of rain in the last 24 hours. I put piles of leaves in the washed out places from the last heavy rain. So this time, there are new gullies. Not much I can do but fill them in.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I've never grown yellow zucchini. I might have to do that. What made you decide to try it, anything in particular?

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    I read a few recipes for cloud bread; all were bun-sized circles. I hadn't thought about making a loaf. One recipe used cottage cheese instead of cream cheese. If I ever make cloud bread, I'll use this recipe. I'm more likely to have cottage cheese on hand. If I don't, I won't mind buying some...

    I happened to wake up half an hour before my alarm and it was just raining lightly. Got up, got Freya her potty walk, got inside before the skies opened and it poured.
