    I'm waiting for the dog outside to have her puppies then decide how to deal with her. I was given a good idea for how to stop her from killing small animals but because she's pregnant I cannot implement it in fixing her attitude.🤢 I just have to hope that she doesn't decide to kill the pups.

    I planted 3 packs of seeds and still didn't get any zucchini. I'm wondering if people are just forgetting what they're doing or don't pay attention to what they're doing and just start adding seeds to packages without making sure they are putting in the right seeds.

    Well the update on locking up the girls for integration with Mister will not be happening. I locked up the girls and let him out but I had to come inside and check on dinner and the dog outside killed him. I told my husband that I was ready to put a bullet in my 22 and put it in her brain. I'm...

    I noticed that a 5th zucchini seed has sprouted. I just really hope that it's zucchini and not yellow squash. I didn't get any zucchini last year only yellow squash. I know a lady that told me that she will buy zucchini from me. She said that because it's organic she's going to buy them for 5$...

    On the stairstep bed I'm putting some decorative glass in it. There's some small areas that I can put it into and it should keep the slugs and snails out of the bed so I won't have a pest issue. I need to figure out a way to get some around the other beds so that they will be safe from the nasty...

    I cleaned the little cage for the ducklings. I locked up the girls and let Mister out to free range for a bit. I'm going to try to set up the wire that I had to remove from the coop/run. I will keep the girls locked up in there and then Mister will be in a coop close by in order to try to...

    It took 4 of the 5 bags of soil to finish filling the potato bed. Now I need to figure out what to use for mulch.

    I didn't get the soil unloaded because the rain started again. So hopefully today I will get it done.

    I don't think I could have moved with a backyard like that but sometimes we have to do what we don't want to.

    Your Weather, 2025

    I have found that a really hot shower and ice hot works for pain. Then my daughter gave me some lidocaine patches and WOW, what a difference. I take ibuprofen as needed or if I have a headache then I take Excedrin. Opioids I refuse to take and even though I am not allergic to it I always list it...

    Thank you. I had a bunch of squash come up in 2023 from out of the blue. I didn't even know that I had planted that much. I dug them out and took them to the daughter in law to give to her former co-worker and she ended up letting them all die. I don't know if these will survive but I am hoping...

    I managed to get the dandelions from the front yard put in the big raised bed with the potatoes. I need to try to get the ground tilled for the corn and beans

    I put the seeds in paper egg cartons and then put them on a cookie sheet. When I water I only have to place water in the cookie sheet. The paper absorbs the water and the seeds don't get disturbed.

    I'm trying to start my own orchard so I just keep collecting seeds. I had a good amount of citrus seeds growing and my husband asked if I would go on the road with him so yes of course, yeah hedoublehockeysticks, not again after starting citrus seeds. I had them about 3-4 inches tall and when I...

    Sometimes it sounds like they are splashing in their waterer. It's just such a peaceful sound.
