    What did you do in your garden today?

    Just checking. And telling any random reader. You know how some people are. While I was at a friends house the other week he kept complaining about all the bee's. I was exited because I have a swarm trap there. Then I noticed what he called a bee, anything that flew. Hornet, spider wasp...

    Natural Egg Hatching

    I often have that in the incubator. The first broody hatch (with eggs added at different later dates) had a hen try to help the last few days and the helper mom hatched one more (that the first hen might have if left alone). Also they had different laid dates therefore can vary the hatch date...

    Love it. It's actually cooler here this month than normal. Had a friend say the other day, I like this global warming.... I mean climate change. It's much nicer summer's than it was in the 70's- 80's and better winter's except for a few days a year.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    My wife got 2, 4 packs of Jalapenos. It seems only 1 plant is not a bell pepper. A honey bee can only sting once, then she dies. Honeybee's MOST often will not sting out in the field collecting pollen/nectar. They have nothing to defend in your garden. Just when you rip there roof off and...

    Beat the heat.

    yea ditto. I work with some pretty big ol' boys (300# +) that'll weld in the heat all day. They do prefer working up north though. ;) :lol: It's still getting used to the ac, or the heat. Get used to the ac, then use more ac, your loop you mentioned. I'm fine in most any heat if I don't...

    Beat the heat.

    Another option with the same principal is to wet the curtains. Cheaper than a swamp cooler, much cheaper than ac. I say were almost all born with the ability to handle the weather and walk barefoot. It's the years of ac and wearing shoes that makes us soft. 40 years ago ac was rare here and...

    Top 10 Frugal Travel Tips

    Maybe Wal-Mart parking lot. I do that a lot, to or from a job with the camper. They have cameras. I also don't have a problem with the rest areas. Maybe it's the .45 not the cameras.;) I'd suggest that to anyone driving. "Therefore I equalize."

    When a man says he'll do something, he means it. No need to remind him every other month.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    You can NOT beat a honda motor. I have a little push mower, I used for a year or 2 on the yard, then just in the garden a few times a year, for maybe a year. Then it quit. still looks brand new.

    Natural Egg Hatching

    I end up breaking all of the ones I put in that "protector" and the hatch rate is also terrible.:);)

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    My "pond" as the kids call it, is just a hole I dug for a low spot to catch the extra water before it runs off. I call it the mud hole but to the little ones it's the pond.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Not sure. It was under less shade than some of the others and by itself. The others kinda shade each other. I was wondering if it turned just to be ripe before the plant dried up.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    When is a pumpkin ready to pick. It's orange, the thump sounds right but it doesn't want to pull off the vine. Also I have an amazing pumpkin patch from the boys last years, fall decoration pumpkins, that we feed to the cattle. Also it's a'lotta early here for them to be ready.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I have a bunch of those in the east pasture, next to the chicken coop of all places. I need to catch some and put in the east pasture where the squash bugs are killing my pumpkin plants. I usually leave them alone but I will move walking sticks and praying mantis into the garden.

    My truck has that much in it at ALL times (just heavier). It's tight enough a 2'x4' piece of 1/2" plywood standing up messes up the set up. 1/2" is all it takes.

    Happy Independence Day When I was up there on a Paper Mill (Wallula I can't remember) the winds could get wicked. Often working at 60-80' on top of something or just wide open you could watch the storms roll in and couldn't do anything about it. Neat to watch though. Hope the fire gets...
