We are getting A good soaking rain in Boiling Spring Lakes at 8: 31 am on 9/14/2024.
That’s cool, I may try growing popcorn next year.
Rain at last, remnants from Francene, but I'll take it. Upper 70s and low 80s in the forecast for the next ten days; I'll take that too. Damn rattlesnake bite hurts like hell, but the antibiotics are helping. It is bleeding now instead of oozing goo. That is an improvement. And it is looking better with color, other than red and black, returning. Okay, the gardeen stuff. I removed the shade cloth with storm bands and high winds from Francene moving through my area, Sylacauge Alambama. My long day of seed planting has paid off. I have seeds that have sprouted, or are sprouting for Columbine, English Daises, parsnips, Danvers Carrots, Purple Top Turnips, Detroit Red Beets, Pak Choi, broccoli, cauliflower, Komatsuna, Tatsoi, Yellow Heart Winter Choy, and Nappa Cabbage. The transplants, red cabbage, Dutch Cabbage, and Rainbow Swiss Chard are doing well; the red cabbage is better than doing well, they are thriving. I'm still harvesting strawberries and peppers. I'd be harvesting peppers today, but it is raining and I melt if I get water on me. LOL If I needed peppers today, I'd pick them rain or no rain. The chickens are doing good, and don't seem to mind the rain, butr they are under the protective branches of a Maple tree, and have a tarp over half of the chicken run. It is not like they get the brunt of the downpour, just spinkles and wet feet. In two weeks, I change over their food from grower feed to layer feed. It is getting close to egg time.
Congratulations if looks like it’s going to be a great future harvest. In zone 9b it’s been so hot we are just pulling up our plants and I am going to start my seeds indoors
Separating a broody hen into a kennel for two or three days will usually break her…. Woohoo fall! 🌱✨
happy hot saturdya sandySir.. enjoy your weekend
wild garden hungers for some fertilizer, maybe pick up a bag of cheap 10-10-10 and throw a handful. I my self try so hard to do things organically but with the compost we buy is such garbage, mostly wood and has no nutes. I have been forced to use some supplemental nutes
Jeff from East Tennessee! Saturday, I was off to my brother’s house to get firewood. More to get on Sunday. I did get time to water Saturday morning.
Looking at my garden, I have a lot of summer veggies still growing. Okra,tomatoes, and a ton of peppers! All of this is holding up my fall garden. I have my cabbage planted but not broccoli or any other fall veggies. If I leave my summer garden until it’s done, then I will end up with a little fall garden. I am not trying to squeeze out every little thing from my summer garden!! It’s still doing good!! So my fall garden is later and later. It will have to be much smaller than last year. If we have a warmer winter, then it will be ok!! Just plant as I can and deal with the cold! Thanks!!
I chop up kale real small and put it and some onions in some scrambled eggs
