    I have a pomegranate tree on my property and I decided that I need a small orchard started. Saturday I went to Grocery Outlet and bought an olive tree for 9.99. I don't think it's a bad price for it so I am happy to say that my small orchard is a go. I talked to my daughter in law tonight and...

    My husband cut down a lot of weeds today and I found out that we have pokeweed in our yard. I'm going to make sure to dig it out and get rid of it

    I managed to find it and apparently my mom was selling me a whopper on the type of squash it was but it's okay because there's not a squash that I have yet to dislike and yeah I get spaghetti squash dessert tomorrow night

    Well I just looked it up and apparently it's a spaghetti squash. It might have the pumpkin smell because it's being grown so close to the pumpkins.

    Can anyone tell me what type of squash or melon this is. I didn't think about writing down what I planted and I have 2 more in the garden and they are bigger than this one.

    Yes. I was happy to see it though. They were laying large eggs like that but they haven't laid one like it in almost a year

    Best Composting Tips

    I'm wanting to build a compost system in the chickens run area. I of course have to decide where is the ideal location for it. We live in the country so field roaches and mice are always a problem. I don't think my chickens will take out the mice but I know they will take out the roaches and...

    I want to pull it up because I also still need to find the beginning of the neighbors stinking morning glories and get them abolished. I am going to do a garden next year and I want to go vertical with everything I can. I have so much crabgrass that I would have to spend 12 hours a day in the...

    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    My garden just hasn't been very productive at all this year so I told my husband that next year I want to grow everything vertical. It will give me more growing room and make the weeding easier. I know a man that has a tiller attachment for the tractor we have so I want to till the ground and...

    I'm considering pulling out the garden for the most part. I'm going to leave my pumpkins and squash. I will also leave the sweet potato plants and tomatoes. I'm also thinking about moving my spearmint next to the chickens. It might help them calm down

    What are You Eating from the Garden?

    I'm on the verge of ripping out most of the garden. I'm not really getting anything from it. I will leave the pumpkin and squash plants but everything else can go.

    Went out to the garden and planted some cherry tomatoes, jalapeno peppers, bush beans and parsley with the granddaughter.

    Had a busy day today with the granddaughter. Got home and started getting the chickens watered and just about had a heart attack. I saw something move over by the rooster and when I looked down it was a snake. It was probably the same one that scared me a couple of weeks ago. He is just a little...

    I was drinking about 3 pots of coffee daily and now I don't really drink coffee and the only time I really go for chocolate is when I feel shaky from the sugar drop off and then it's generally only 1 of the 2 Reese's peanut butter cups.
