Dang it, autocorrect. Why did the phone do that? MAIL is a legit word. MAIL shed.

Darn wasp sting has me so itchy, I can't focus.
I'll try to remember to get a photo of the male shed up today.
I've been putting poly seal on the interior floor and don't want to leave the door open long in our howling winds.

While I can't remember everything while I was growing up, I do remember things like how my mother locked the door on me when I went outside to knock off a yellow jacket's nest in our garage. Can you imagine a little kid screaming and pounding on the door. Lol, after getting stung multiple times, I ran down the street until they stopped chasing me.

I picked the last of the summer squash this morning, 3 buttercup and 3 zucchinis. After making pickles today there are only 4 left in the fridge. The chickens got the vines.

I gave the garlic and potato beds that I amended with compost a good soaking with water.

@WthrLady , mix water and baking soda into a mud type mixture and put it on the sting. It helps remove the sting and itch

Thanks, but I have serum sickness, it's a systemic reaction to venom. I start shots for it/them in November. I have to wait until after the hard freeze to start them.

You'll be trying hard to kill a mulberry tree. The repair looks good!

Well my goats are giving it a good try... This is the 3rd time they've gotten ahold of it and created the worst damage yet. I finally got DH trained to NOT leave the door to the duck pen open and then I go and accidentally do it


It's amazing this tree has survived this long.

Anyone happen to know if lemons will ripen off the tree? I've got several that are half yellowish now.

ACV works well on yellow jacket stings. It might help with wasp stings. Still in a little drought here. I picked a handful of black beans I missed yesterday. I fertilized the collards again then watered everything really well. The mustard greens are big enough to start picking for a salad. The last 2 rows of lettuce I planted are sprouting already. Temperatures for the next 10 days are still in the low 60’s for the highs. The Brussel sprouts are stil growing but no ‘sprout’ buds yet.
