What did you do in the garden today?

Guess who just spent 10 minutes getting even more just to trip and spill everything

So you’ve decided you wanted to use my technique.

Yep! I’m like a magnet for inconveniences

Thankfully I was on the patio and I got around 3/4 of them picked up

We. Got. Rain!


Afterward, I went out and picked some more black raspberries. I think I'll have enough to make jam with now. I'm going to make it with honey. It'll be a small batch, and I can see if I like it, or if I want to tweak the recipe.

Pulled our first ripe Peron tomato today. Yesterday one of our chickens, Clarrice, was panting so badly because of the heat and humidity (she suffers the most out of all the chickens)that I took her into our garage and turned the air conditioning on, set a platform up in front of the AC for her to sit on and let her relax for a bit.

I did another batch this summer.

Hubby doesn't like the texture/flavor of the WG eggs. Also, the yolk nearly always breaks, so I use them for scrambled eggs and baking.

I tried one preparing it as a regular over easy/medium and agree with your hubby, texture a bit off and flavor seemed "weak" not so eggy tasting. I used 4 of the WG eggs with 4 fresh eggs for quiche and do the same with dehydrated.

I wanted food preserved if there was a Need and they will work for that.

Then you haven’t achieved my level yet. I’ve achieved being a magnet for catastrophe.

Peas are still in the process of drying up but I got maybe half a dozen small pods that seemed ready. I also planted some new ones in with the romaine and put some of the peels from the lemonade lemons over the top because it looked like something was digging in that planter and I remember someone here using those for pest repellent. Hope it works.

Welp, I can say with relative certainty the lemon peels didn’t work; I found another chipmunk that tried to hang itself in the garden netting today.

Did the chipmunk succeed in the deed?

I know people think they are cute, and they do "look" cute But they burrow under foundations, sidewalk etc...not cute.

I think that the outdoor cats we had for a decade, took care of the problem and the cats stayed out of the garden.

Do you ever water glass or dehydrate?

Wouldn’t simply refrigerating unwashed eggs give you roughly the same shelf life as water glassing?
