    What did you do in your garden today?

    Not garden precisely, but I gathered up dry grass and piled it in the broody coop. When I get a chance I'll put live grass in there, so it looks like a comfy place to nest. The broody and her chicks will go in the coop tonight, while the other broody will go in the broody box. Not much to do in...

    I am working on beeding plants that will outcompete the weeds and throw off the bugs.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I replanted last Saturday. The original seeds were remnants of a box (15 years old maybe? 1 pound box.) that grew just fine last year. But last year I wasn't using them for a cold tolerance test in saturated soil! 🤣 I replanted with a mix of the remaining seeds from this box and new purchased...

    1 c coconut flour or ground coconut 6 c shredded coconut (not packed) 2 cubes butter Mix it all up until well blended, breaking up any lumps. Form logs (I usually just do this by squeezing in my hand) and put in the freezer to solidify. Cover with chocolate. I wish I could find unsweetened...

    I'm doing grain cover crops for the chickens, let them harvest and then mow it all down in the spring.

    I have done nothing in my garden today. Yet. At Winco I got seeds for homemade Mounds bars. Haven't planted them yet. 🙃

    My brain immediately gave me the image of a tomato plant growing out of a chicken's butt.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    If you grow a short season hybrid and plant the seeds, chances are good that you'll get something close to the parent. The vast majority of modern tomatoes don't out-cross (the result of a major genetic bottleneck) so most are self pollinated. Grow seeds from fruits you like (particularly the...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    My plan is to eventually be able to plant everything in fall and let it come up on its own time in the spring. What can be self-seeding or perennialized will be.

    What did you do in your garden today?

    Planted out a bunch of herbs. Watermelons are up. They do a pretty good job of hibernating until it's warm enough for them. One pumpkin survived the cold tolerance test and I marked it for seed. It has two sets of true leaves already. Moschatas are coming up. No corn yet, but since it was only...
