I started bellpepper seeds in early May, but they never germinated. I tried again with a heating pad; they never germinated. I ordered new seeds & they germinated! Now I get to see if I can squeeze this crop in before first frost! 😅 #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn

This just dropped and I'm livid! Fucking CDC! This is how they tell us, at the 11th hour, after-the-fact, in a tweet no one is going to see? So, it's spreading off of farms now!
At least I was already fucking smart enough to wear an N95 to the 4H Livestock Sale last week and didn't need to wait for the CDC hand-washing bullshit! 😠

Tried a pickle 🥒 yesterday. My tasting notes:
A little too salty, really peppery, needed twice as much dill, but tasty and super crunchy! 8/10 would adjust and make again. 😋

Making a couple of different kimchees today because I have so much cabbage coming out of the #garden. This cabbage was a little buggy even after plunge washing it (there was a big fat worm in it), but no worries, I just cut the munched part off and used the rest! Still a lot of cabbage. #kimchee #GrowYourOwn #Food #GardeningMastodon

The #bees got an addition; I added a second deep box today. Inspection looked great with lots of larvae, & the emerald #SaskatrazQueen is alive & well. There will be a big increase in population in a couple of weeks, & they will need the room. Zoey came to supervise. #beekeeping

Are the dishes always done, the floors always clean, and dinner always on time? Well, no, but then this is a working farm house! I spend most of my time outside, when possible! 🤣 I'm lucky I married a tolerant man... 😬😄

2024-05-13 18:26:26

I'm a chimera; a bit feminist, but I'm also filling a traditional wife role (e.g., cooking, cleaning, laundry, preserving, etc). I'm also the gardener, orchard keeper, groundskeeper, shepherd, shearer, chicken wrangler, and when I have a minute extra - an artist & handcrafter.

2024-05-12 20:07:13

Almost done; two more sheep and Hubby's hair ✂️🪒💈to shear! 🤣 We will have to finish the last two 🐑🐑 next weekend as it's back to the day job for Hubby tomorrow. I'll bet he can't wait to go back! 😆 #shearing #SheepOfMastodon

New 5-frame nuc picked up & installed yesterday. We've also relocated the location of the colony/hive to the garden area where it is easier to get to & it is warmer in the winter. Now I'm going to research & learn all about treating for mites. #beekeeping #beginner #bees 🐝🐝🐝

We do a lot of what I call "pulse" #grazing here; 2 to 4 hours in the morning, back in the stall/corral, and then another 2 hours in the evening. Keeps the #horse & ewes/wethers from decimating the grass due to grazing out of boredom. Gives the #grass a fighting chance! 🤣 #SheepOfMastodon
