What did you do in the garden today?

Why do they call these winter squashes? I made the mistake of putting seeds w my fall seeds (have separated by seasons right now). They are not frost hardy and love it warm.

Oh doctors...they go to school to learn a manipulated curriculum that teaches them to push drugs & rarely use their brains to learn more or question what methods they were taught. The rare doctor does exist, they're not easy to find, but they're the ones that at least seek more knowledge & many methods of healing, even those the system can't patent & make big money on. It's a shame but just about Everything revolves around money. Big pharma makes big money & they're not giving that up.

My doctor is fantastic, but she doesn’t always know what’s going on. She’s not a pill pusher and most of her patients are elderly so she always offers options and knows her stuff. I have found that the specialists don’t s nd anything to her even though they say they will, so I have to tell her that I went to the audiologist or the dermatologist. She says they didn’t notify her, gets their info and requests records. The next time I’m there she has the records. So I don’t think it’s always the docs fault. That being said, I have her then maintain my prescriptions for whatever she can and don’t go back to the specialist.

I planted nine baby corn stalks (last year's corn from seeds didn't survive past the baby ears point), today, did some more weeding in our garden, and took my two trellises out from behind some roses and put them to use in the veggie garden for our cucumbers. I'm sure I'm doing this wrong, but I haven't found any trellises in local stores, so I'm trying to work with what I've got.
We also got four rosebushes transplanted from pots, so they can finally have a home and fill out! Looks kinda sad, atm, but I'll add hostas & mums, soon.

Nice cucumber!
We turned the cow panels into trellises and recycled bamboo for our back trellis w a cow panel on top! I got them on sale bc bent at tsc. I’ve seen all sorts of staking and trellises - it’s what you have - can’t go wrong!
I’ve found corn likes to be either in 2 rows side by side (for pollination) OR a tight square. Again for pollination. My corn was horrible last year. I’m hoping my chicken poo will bump it up!

G’morning all. It sprinkled here last night, I only know because the windshield is a mess and there was water on top of my car still. We didn’t get anything measurable in our yard though. It’s muggy and rain chances are decreasing. Nothing to do outside today other than tend the chickens.

Sounds like Amazon is getting some competition

I tried to order from Amazon but every time I had my daughter place an order they started charging me for a subscription. H-E#$ NO. I seen a purchase for Amazon and called the bank and told them to block them.

I love the name... Look at that cute little egg Bernadebt!

Thank you. My middle granddaughter helped me name them. We used 3 names from the TV show The Big Bang Theory, so we have Bernadebt, Cinnamon and Penny (she's a WL).

Yes. I have placed a bunch of orders and the best thing about it is if you don't see it as being of good quality or just not happy about the look you can send it back for a full refund. Also if you get it after the date stated you get 5.00 and a full refund plus if it does arrive you get to keep it. I ordered a dumpling maker and it was broken so they refunded me my money and told me to keep the item or throw it away then they tagged the place selling it for selling a broken product.

Be careful. Temu steals credit card info and orders stuff not for you. Over 900 complaints with the BBB

All my hens are group named by hatch group, mostly TV names.
Current round we have rachael, Monica, Phoebe and Ursula.
Our BBT group is long gone, except for Bernadammit. She's just as feisty as ever. LOL.

My sister ordered ONE set of magnets for the refrigerator and her card was hacked and drained within 12 hours. OC the bank took care of it, but what a hassle and the stress.....
