Buy a beekeeper hat for windy days 😁. No grass in ears

Good morning everyone! 😁 Have job work today -- then a day home tomorrow for my garden. Yah!! Moved a job to Sat, when it's gonna rain again-- most all day!😞-- so I could have a good weather day here. Worth much more to me than their $$. 🤣 Want to finish planting. Otherwise there won't be...

I have plans to work it all day tomorrow! 😁👍

Walked perimeter, after rains I wanted to check. Had been fresh tilled & planted Mon, 1.5" rain Tues. Obviously wet but good....not mud. The freshly transplanted tomatoes & peppers are in fine shape.☺️ Thur or Fri I'll transplant rest of starts -- another 30 or so -- and some more seeds...

Oh, I sure remember cloth diapers !!😂

Rain came as predicted...how strange is that? A decent rain, I'm glad to get the seeds watered! Makes my efforts out there yesterday seem worthwhile. 👍😁 About Thurs I'll get cardboard & mulch out there -- cause we know the weeds grow fast!! Thinking we'll get about an inch before it moves...

I truly believe I was trying to kill me 😵‍💫😁. My back just said "no more!". So, I'm inside where it's cool. 6 hrs is enough. But planted potatoes, corn, beans, squashes, eggplant, pepper plants, tomato plants, radish, beets, onions, and ??? I'm not half done. And more than one type of each...

Maybe just order on line & pick up is a good deal for you.... ??? You have a close grocery that offers that?

Yesterday I had chicken breast fillet with pineapple, sweet onions, soy sauce, etc. nice change and I'll have some for breakfast -- before freezing another meal of it. I have a 5# pork belly I'm wanting to cook, maybe today since it's a cooler day...won't be problem with heat in house. 🤔...

I'm thinking about you this morning 🫂

Beans might do ok as they'll take a couple days longer to germinate with colder soil, right? Plus being grown there before, acclimated somewhat to weather -- might be fine. 🤔. Let us know how it goes

Hmmm🤔. One day they're grown, gets easier 😋

Natural defenses -- one, burn used, dry coffee grounds for the smoke/smell...good for porch, picnics, etc. Two -- beauty berry leaves. They contain a substance equal to deet...crush & rub on skin or wear a sprig. Farmers used to crush leaves on a sprig, then attach to harnesses to keep the...

I toss tomatoes to my chickens. Sometimes find volunteers in weird places:ep
