    What did you do in the garden today?

    My garden got a LOT better after I got chickens! Chicken poop is the "other" gift they give us. (Besides eggs.)

    I have a BIG bowl of popcorn for dinner at least once a week, sometimes twice. Yellow popcorn, hot air popped, NOTHING on it. I am a popcorn purist. I like popped corn. Oh, man... I don't want to give up my popcorn dinners...:fl

    I got groceries I went to the bank I learned how to give a cat a pill. The neighbor has asked us to give her cat a pill in the mornings this weekend (Fri-Sun). The cat doesn't know us, so we're going over every morning this week. She was ok -- sort of -- getting the pill, but wasn't interested...

    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...

    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...

    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.)

    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.
