Good morning. Spent the morning with me doing things in my backyard homestead. I started by letting my chickens out and then it was on to harvesting a few things. I had some onions and cucumbers to grab. One was trying to hide and I almost didn’t see it. If I would have left it, it would have gotten way too big today. And then I forgot I didn’t collect eggs last night cuz I wasn’t home until late. So, I grabbed those. They aren’t laying much at the moment because of all the fireworks. And then I harvested my first round of red noodle beans. Let me know your favorite way to use these. This is a new one for me this year. And then I also grabbed some green beans over here. I filled the bird bath with some new water for the birdies. And then I harvested the rest of my poppy pods. When I was actually filling the bird bath, I saw some squash bug eggs. And I ended up finding ones that were hatching. So I got all of this handled. And then I planted some corn where my garlic was growing. I highly suggest using a yard stick when planting. It makes it so easy to create your rows and to space everything out. And once that was done, I got my garden watered and it was getting pretty hot, so I decided to end things

Girl you are living my dream đ
Those onions look so perfectt!
Stir fried beans or curry it with a tomato or add chicken and eat with rice .
Great homesteading! Of?
Great looking onions. I grew noodle beans one year. I didnât like them. They are squeaky when you eat them no matter how long they are cooked.
Oh my God, beautiful. Can I come live in your backyard?đ
The long beans freeze really well. Cut them into sizes that will fit in serving size baggie. Wash em.Make sure they are dry before freezing. They will last at least six months. I use them in salads and stir frys. My young son loved the beans simply steamed and served with tamari sauce.
Where did you get ur torch gun please ?
I use just the beans from the red noddle beans and cook them as if they were black beans into refried beans or put them in soup!
Ok just pulled all those bugs off this morning. What are you killing them with? A heat gun
That hose reel looks amazing. What model is that?
I love shopping in my garden every morning itâs peaceful and healthy đ
I sautĂ© the noodle is beans with some garlic and salt. They can get quite squeaky if cooked âwrongâ

Have you considered growing winecaps mushrooms / garden giants? Honestly you have such a beautiful homestead and wine caps are delicious easy mushrooms and wonderful for making minerals more accessible to plants.
