My babies are high bush. They were 'husky rooted from cuttings' last year. Nice little plants. They just aren't really thriving as to growth since they are supposed to be 6 feet tall high bush plants. But they are only in 2 gal containers and were nibbled down by the bunnies over the winter....

Too bad they are expensive and availability is scarce...

OK Butterflies/Moths photos are pretty cool!!

So that's like 60 buckets worth. That's a lot of weight! We keep our feed in metal as well after rats ate half a pallet....

I keep getting waylaid by lack of energy... day of work, day off. We did a feed run this morning and are sitting down since. Still need to drag myself up and go heat up some soup...

When I am in the garden, I have a quart jar of cold well water. I add the lemon balm a few fresh sprigs. Give it a light lemon taste and keep it fresh and the bugs out of it....

Cannot believe I was already out to the garden at 6:15 am this morning. There is a cow tied outside the fence at one corner. I closed up the entrance to the bee hive nuc in the greenhouse with 4 sprigs of mint wrapped in a comfrey leaf so they cannot get out and I can move them later when I'm...

I live IN a rock n roll music studio... original rock created in whole. He tried to rope me into back up singer, but I've only done a line or two in a couple of the songs. Besides all the other bands he helps produce, whose music sounds the same after a while, I still prefer to listen to our...

I hear it's good to set boundaries...

No wonder I've been out of it for a while... only us military survivors understand the true meaning of SPAM.... as in a thanksgiving turkey made of spam....

Still plugging away at the garden/bee chores. Also have a heifer tied out in the yard because the bulls were on her too much! Really having a restful/recovery period this evening. Was warned to put sunscreen on my legs... I said, " I'm almost 70!!" He said I'll get sun damage and wrinkle, lol.

I made tomato sauce and some was thick enough to almost be paste. I grew a bunch of different heirloom pastes, hearts and a few beefsteaks and pureed them in the blender after coring, then just put them through the strainer, heated it up real good and hot water bath canned them. My daughter...

If the tomatoes are inground and too wet, give them an umbrella or overhead shelter from the rains. If they are small enough and caged, a clear garbage bag oveer the cage should help keep some of the rain off.

Wow. We have rains starting Wed and for Thurs Fri...Great way to start out June... My garden is always planted by now. Instead with the barometric pressure we've been staying inside way too much. Still hitting the garden hard on stuff we should have done weeks ago but it was rain then....It's...

I thought maybe the cat snuck in and got locked in....

Coffee just sucks when we are out of milk products! I'm switching off to tea for the rest of the day and maybe just cold fresh pumped well water. Ours is really good and nicely cold...

How many members finally realized today was Saturday??? I've known for at least half the day... And that's with a laptop and being online for part of the morning... We have rain inbound for 3 days starting Weds so I've got Sun, Mon, and Tues to get the corn crop planted and the pole beans on the...

Today, hubs sorted through garden aids as in plastic , twine, posts, grow bags, etc and cleared out an 8x16 foot space that is now ready to till. Meanwhile I raked about 2 tons of compost/dirt across 35x50 feet of garden as we are slowly leveling it. All the rocks are gathering up in the middle...

Cannot answer the bean question. On the bunnies, reminds me I have gotta get the brick in place under the garden gates so the bigger ones cannot get in!!! Thanks!!

Name of bean group on fb?? Thanks...
