So apparently Minnesota is under moderate drought conditions. We've been learning how to water our garden but I've lost peas, beans, and squash because of not knowing how to water because MN is usually so wet. It seems that my eggplant and peppers are thriving right now though. My fish...

OK I'll try both!

When I was little and we lived in MT it was a singular joy to squish hornworms and watch the guts come out the ends... :sick

We just let the flowering crab grow their own babies... DH doesnt like my ideas of where to plant trees so we just stopped trying to talk about that.

I only buy things I can't get locally like grapes and pineapple at the grocery store, otherwise I try to grow my own or pick it wild/local. I love how putting those tiny tomato seeds in pots grows big, beautiful plants. I am hoping to bring one or two in in big pots this year and keep them...

When I was about 10 I was helping butcher and punctured the stomach with my long fingernails. Half digested food got stuck under my nail. Traumatic! I can chop off heads and I think I could handle gutting but plucking aint for me.

My kale stopped growing at about 8 inches tall... Baker Creek seed.

What a wonderful gift!

What can I do about the little white maggot-looking worms in all of my gooseberries????
