how could I resist
so I didn't........ canning season started with 3 nice quart batches of chopmeat with mixed veggies
one batch has mushrooms added
the others are just chopmeat with mixed veggies.
i am watching the meat sales now
i intend to can more meats with mixed veggies as it is a very FAST easy winter meal.
sickdays, late days, and snow days are easier this way.
while i wait for this batch in the canner........ bernie has gone to get us icecream and rootbeer
it's time for rootbeer floats!
woohoo
we love rootbeer floats around here!
meanwhile on the duckie front
we got them a small garbage can lid....... it's the perfect size for a small bath for them
and they LOVE IT
they prefer it to their water bucket even for drinking
we are going to give them a perch this week........as they ARE perching ducks
they really are the perfect backyard pet
no noise!
no smell!
and they mix and shred compost as well as eat bugs!
the beans are up out in the garden, the ones against the tarp.
they are doing so well that I tarped the other row of beans!
what started as a way to protect my duckies from jackass...turned out to be good for my garden!
we have the broccoli bed almost ready
and we prepped the tomato bed
i was going to put the plants out this morning but when we got up
the temp on the thermometer outside was 34!
too cold for tomatoes, but the broccoli should be ok
i put blood meal on the broccoli bed as there is a mole digging tunnels under it
I am sure that he has gotten all the worms out now
so the blood meal is there
we need to prep the pepper bed........that one for SURE needs black plastic to heat the soil
i want to heat the tomato bed and put a smallish hoop house.
now that jackass 'privacy' fenced against us........( I am STILL loving that)
we can hoop house out there without his shit bothering us
so we get WINTER veggies all winter .............no?
hahahaha
this is GREAT
now i think that's all i got to tell you all
if i forgot anything please remind me
vi
