PLEASE SPAY AND NEUTER. They don't know any better, and so Many die unnecessarily bc they aren't enough homes for the overpopulation :(. I RANT bc i am about to spay my two puppies. I am aSTONISHED to see posts online about waiting until a GSD is 6yo to fix. Female cats will go into heat 3...

Finally got a small harvest of 13 medium sized tomatoes from my big garden. I added 2 more from the pot next to the house and DH and I had salad with onions, tomatoes and tunafish for dinner.

Vinegar was too high for me to reach at 3AM, so I'll live with the scale. I Usually add white vinegar to every canning.

I used broth to make a roast one week ago and couldn't pass up the opportunity to make MORE broth. Poot puppies had to smell this all week, as I am taking them out at 3AM and not getting enough sleep to finish the pressure canning. It was still bubbling when I took the 5 jars out to cool. I...

Yesterday puppies and I took a field trip to the south side of the big garden. I harvested 13 medium sized tomatoes there and 2 more from the pot by the house. I have read about various ways to plant your tomatoes: 1) transplant them like a tree, hole big enough for the roots, stem just above...

I removed and transferred the label for this plant, WITH care instructions on a scan code. It had enough glue to stick to my ceramic blue pot. You can see that I Could have divided this--later... This is a hybrid aloe. I liked it bc it has a blue tinge AND I pulled off a short pup With roots...

Bigger store is the LOWE's wanted me to jump through hoops to collect on a measly $10 "rewards" (from a >$3K appliances purchase). I printed the information out today so that next week I can go back and get them to give me my rewards. Customer service has become nonexistent at many box stores...

Went to LOWE's Thursday, didn't quite find what I wanted. I have a stump of a tree that is fairly tall, and a wild raspberry is growing around it, about 7 ft tall now. I left it growing bc when you back up in our driveway towards to barn, you might hit the stump. I was looking for the same as...

Puppies are napping right now, me, too, SOON. House training is...progressing, but when they hide their poo and run to the back door to go out, we are making headway. They know their names And "sit" now. MEANWHILE, there IS some gardening going on at Duck's place... I have been harvesting both...

I really like my Knockout Yellow Rose. Smells luscious and mine survived massive bindweed invasion this Spring, then bounced back. Will bloom until frost.

SO JELLY!!! ALways Next year...

On Sunday I finished dehydrating sweet potatoes for the doggies. I didn't look for a recipe, just oven cooked 3 sweet potatoes, peeled off the skins, cut into smaller pieces and dehydrated them for about 8 hours. I have them in the jar in the kitchen AND they are puppy approved!

I DID mow the edges of the pasture today with my God Mower yesterday!! :cool: This weekend I spent close to 5 hours mowing. I also found a bucket that had some kind of vegetation sitting in it with some rain water, therefore "compost tea," and emptied that in one of my outside pots.

FINALLY, my left leg bones are set!! :weee:weee:weee Yesterday I felt comfortable using my God Mower, where you depress the clutch with your Left foot, so I "mowed the areas around the house, like we "care" yesterday. I also hand weeded more of the wildflower garden, and mowed/blew the grasses...
