Good morning everyone! ๐
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!๐-- so I could have a good weather day here. Worth much more to me than their $$. ๐คฃ Want to finish planting. Otherwise there won't be...
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.โบ๏ธ Thur or Fri I'll transplant rest of starts -- another 30 or so -- and some more seeds...
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. ๐๐ 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 ๐ตโ๐ซ๐. 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...
Saw 3 gardens going in on my short end of the road. One was a fam that used to garden, had chickens, milk goat, etc. As kids grew & left, things stopped. For several yrs, no efforts of the sort. This yr, I see a garden!! โบ๏ธ. They're retirement age, so either more time or less to spend, or...
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. ๐ค...
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. ๐ค. Let us know how it goes
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...
There's definitely mental involved. And lifetime in medical field doesn't keep it away. This is taxing for care needer & care giver .... The PT added to more than just physical needs. Shame it isn't continuing, even if inconvenient to all.
@baymule That's a great event!! Surprised not more applicants though.... It involves community, supports community, improves community ๐๐ฅฐ. Is it monthly, quarterly, etc?
I sure remember them all :old I still use an electric skillet, although new & improved over one pictured (which I had & wore out). Nutcrackers still in use ๐
@baymule most plans call to set these online visits to make $$. They bill medicare & get pd. They get no billings for me as I have no dr visits, in person or otherwise. So only a monthly premium is earned. Dental, vision, OTC is use. But it's there if I need it. :old
Yes, they call me to...
