Also, my zap isn’t resolved. I think it’s a wallet issue but I don’t have rime to mess with it.

Before my Wednesday went to poop I got four more luffa processed and drying. I cooked all the kale and Swiss chard I had. Gathered the last handful of green beans.
This morning I got my 40 minutes of walk-fit in. Critters and poultry fed and tended. I put dad’s wheelchair in the car for his appointment.
It’s 8:30 and time for my breakfast.

Wonder what I can make with mini-peppers, a cherry tomato, and a couple strawberries? They are enjoying the cool weather and rain.

Good late morning all y’all! Lots to do around Holstein House today. Preparing for the transition to autumn decor outside. Watering whats left of the garden, drying luffa.
What does your weekend look like?

Cut four luffa today. So many more coming along. Probably the only great crop in ages.

Understood.
I’ve attempted keto/carni before. I don’t do well on it. Once I get past the “flu” I start feeling ill when trying to eat. It’s like major food fatigue.
I will make more effort to consider carbs and reduce, add some water. I also have to juggle “old woman” issues. 🙃

Actually it, and a few more, will be given to a local women’s transitional self-sufficiency program to use to make soap-on-a-rope to raise funds. But if I have any left … 😊

Join me for a look at my backyard container garden! The star of the show is my thriving luffa vine, and I'll be showing you the incredible journey of how these gourds grow into natural loofah sponges. After checking in on the luffa, we'll take a quick tour of the rest of my container garden, including my delicious blackberries, sweet bell peppers, fresh beans, and ripening tomatoes
.
This video is perfect for anyone interested in container gardening, growing their own food, or learning how to grow and harvest luffa sponges!

Many small things knocked out today. Including processing oranges, peaches, and pineapple for dehydrating, juice, and fruit leathers. Also made up 18 lavender sachets with lavender from my garden.

Good morning all y'all! I'll probably jinx myself but I just completed my 7th indoor walking exercise. I found a series on YouTube called Yes2Next. She has a "senior" series. Last week I did five minutes a day. I missed Monday but yesterday and today I did the same one twice in a row. The plan is to move to a 15 minute one next week. The goal is to get back to my 2 mile a day walk again, with the dogs.

Nearly an inch of rain fell between 8 and noon yesterday. Most from 11-12. So much flooding all around. Porch tomato is starting to earn its keep.

All birds still alive this morning. Lost one yesterday. A few squash bug eggs removed. A few cucumber beetles drowned. It was over 100⁰ yesterday, with a quarter inch downpour near dark. Power washing the porch this morning. It needs repainted.

That road (I-79) runs both way. LOL I am east of Charleston. Except you put weird sauce on hotdogs. Last time I was up there I ordered chili and slaw. Peculiar looks.

Hope how soon the nematodes get here. I managed to drop these striped beetles in some soapy water but that won’t work long.

Today I cooked a beef tongue. It is part of my efforts to learn to use more of the animals we purchase.
Have you ever cooked and/or eaten beef tongue? What is your favorite recipe?

Good morning all y’all! Great Sunday morning shaping up. Headed off to chill soon.
Random: Raccoon don’t like lemon, and I think I read they don’t like clove. So, wold hanging clove studded lemons near the coop keep them away?

Hey #asknoster , do you have experience cooking, eating Jerusalem Artichoke? I think there are some at the farthest back part of my property. Likely planted by the previous owner. I know I should wait till after frost to harvest. I read that winter savory herb will help with the gassy properties. Other than that I have no clue. Would love your wisdom.

OMG! That would be so much fun!
I am still planning to attend this year. But they already had someone speaking on a similar topic for this year. I'm not upset over it. If I do get approved for 2025 I'll certainly post about it often. But try to attend anyway. I'd love to meet you both!

Good morning all y’all! Another heat advisory day on the Holstein House front porch, in my part of West Virginia, USA. Gonna try to get some outside stuff done before it gets too hot. So, here’s a pumpkin to look at.

Gah! I am tired. Had my own appointment this morning at 8:45. Then to the bank. Then to Kanawha City to get dad’s prescription. Then to Trivillians when the other pharmacy didn’t have it. Waited there an hour. Then home to let Betty and Bob out , and get my hair clippers. Then over dad’s to drop off his medicine, do his INR test, then cut his hair. Now I am home and too pooped to pop, but have to fix supper and last minute guest prep. We have the traveler from Germany staying the weekend

Good morning all y’all! Busy Monday yesterday so wasn’t able to swing by all my social media. Storms yesterday morning kept me from the garden but here is what I snatched up today.
Jersey Devil, pear, cherry, San Marzano, and Roma tomatoes. Also a nice yellow squash, Black Magic and a couple Jimmy Nardello peppers
