Lots of weeding and watering, over and over. How does someone rid an area of mint? I've moved some plants from one place to the other not knowing mint roots were hitching a ride.

I wonder if it's gout, but it's not red or hot and it feels like an injury. I have a friend who has had gout before, so I'll talk to her.

That's what I wondered. I've been working outside a lot, and maybe just a strain on the joint. I was digging sod up a few days ago.

She's gets injured while sleeping too?

Yesterday morning I woke up with an achey ankle. It had gotten progressively worse during the day, and was swollen up around the lower end of the fibula bone. This morning the swelling is down some, and I wrapped it with an elastic bandage for stability. Has anyone ever gotten a sprain in...

Forecast this week is one day to be in the 90ish range. Today's forecasted high is 71!

You're looking for a more efficient way than one at a time since you have so many? You would need an industrial type of nut cracking machine.

This ability has been largely lost as a result of technology.

Welding!

I think you can just peel the hull off, and use a nutcracker for the hard shell. I don't eat them, but have gotten them out of the hulls and shells before.

They don't go back inside at night like chickens do. Their door is open all the time and some go inside at times. I had to put another layer of fencing on the inside of their run. Three layers of fencing to keep them safe!

Update! Memorial Day weekend I opened their outside door and they all finally went outside. Here was more recently (June 17):

Need to correct this post. The eggs were not the problem, but they were ill. They had labored breathing, and problems walking. That's why they were hiding. Some died, and the others fully recovered. Some didn't get ill at all.

Hello and welcome @ElderEric! I have one hickory nut tree and don't have a problem not getting any. Sure some are dehulled by the squirrels, but in a good year there's enough for us too. We also have walnut and oak trees, so maybe with the other food sources that helps. This reminds me that...

Same here, just enough rain drops for me to put my stuff away, then it stopped! It was nice that it was overcast all day yesterday. With it so dry the plants need a break from the sunshine, although I've been keeping them watered.

I'm with @tortoise on acclimation. The past few years, since 2016, I was intolerant of heat sources and sunshine, and other things. That has now changed. Since I'm now able to tolerate the heat and sunshine more, I not only do not mind the heat too much (it is summer afterall), but am...

How can they properly euthanize then? It doesn't make sense.

There's also a shortage on veterinary appointments. Last year when my dog developed a yeast ear infections it would have been over a month to get him in. So, I researched and found Zymox eardrops, and they worked! A lot cheaper than a vet appointment too.

Welcome! Nice to meet you.

Working outside I prefer to listen to everything related to non-people noises (which is very minimal here), and let my mind wander. A long time ago I had a job that part of it was sitting and making chenille patches for letter jackets, which was very boring. I made cassettes to listen to as a...
