Was a rainy afternoon/evening down here n the valley yesterday...and there's a nice dusting of snow on the peaks this AM.
Here it comes....
Hopin to snag some nice trees/bushes this AM for the 10 holes I dug yesterday. We both said we wouldn't plant anything here at this property because it's already so wooded but the former owner..in his infinite wisdom (and because he owned heavy equipment) decided to "make a road" to access the upper property >where there shouldn't be a road<...and in the process he pushed down a number of trees/bushes that offered privacy from the main road. So...we're re-vegging his fuck up/destruction. God I hate that shit. Such is why I dug/do everything by hand. It just takes too long (10 years+) to reveg things at altitude...and the first stuff too try to come in after you destroy the native vegetation is non-native weeds and dandelions. Yup! (Billy, you idiot) In the long run the best thing to do is leave it...or clear it by hand.....unless that is you want to completely defoliate the area. :rolleyes: Nope. Not here. Besides re-vegging....the plantings will also offer cover for my future outdoor adventures....
looks like the rain has passed but it's definitely "Fall" like out there....and much cooler than yesterday AM
75 2 cup vacuum sealed bags of corn for us, still got a few from last years as well still good as fresh....Gunna make cream corn later.......
last day of kid free weekend, got my flower tent, res, portable res, and veg tent all broke down and cleaned (final battle to make sure the mites are done) Did some pruning, repotted some rosemary into 5 gal smart pots. Everything spic and span :D Today will be sterilizing pumps, airlines, pots etc With the cool weather coming I can wait to final get these tents full! Have decided come June I will shut my tents down to avoid the heat, too many issues the last two summers.
Time for some football and some vape balloons :D Good Day farmers!
All I can say is I hate FLAKES.....waited around all day, no call no show :( No teens for me. Oh well life is short, time to enjoy the sunshine
Another offer in to buy someone's house (high hopes this time), another 12 hr shift at the salt mine. gotta go, gotta go, gotta go.
I'm completing my changeover from twelve 5 gallon RDWC sites per zone to four 27 gallon tubs each. My plant count is now substantially less than my age, lol. Girls seem to like the change, too!
Somehow seems.... incomplete, though.
Just sayin'!
Well..? I think I locked one of the chickenbirds out of the coop last night, Dave found her outside the coop this morning. She won't let me catch her, and I won't just leave the coop open for her to get in and the others out, so...? We have a bit of a Mexican stand-off goin'. Also, her sister (the bird in question is Eleanor), Guinevere, is brooding an egg. An unfertilized egg. I keep saying, "Guini! It won't HATCH!" And she growls at me, literally (I never knew a chicken could growl, well, they can)(they also sneeze and it sounds HILARIOUS, but also disconcerting), and is pecking me pretty hard when I try to get said egg.
That means that Guinevere needs cock! And I'm the gal to help her out. We've located three real cocks, but don't have a quarantine area. I'm thinkin' a small shed in one of our fenced gardens should be ok, though I prefer the upper garden and it may not offer enough distance. Otherwise, he's gettin' tossed in with all the ladies. He's a German-raised cock, so he'll probably try to do some astonishingly weird things with the chickenbirds.
