Love the names, it’s one of my favourite recipes for lamb, especially when it uses sheep milk yogourt as well!Killerbunny wrote: ↑Thu May 15, 2025 5:06 amHubby has named them Roger and Joshua (Rog an Josh) sorry wasn't me!

That’s great you have access to one near by, makes it far less stressful for all!

I was watching a country living show on YouTube. Looks like somewhere like Vietnam. Sugical facemasks to support the watermelons. Baby plants were placed directly into soil bag.

Re: Good Morning 2025
I think anything to get rid of the underbrush that is supporting the fires is a really good thing! We used to do burns in Quebec when i was a kid....to do exactly that-get rid of the flammable stuff so that a forest fire would basically burn itself out if lightning struck or something. Then all that was stopped....and now i think we're paying the price for not letting doing the controlled understory clearing.
Sorry i've been awol for a long time....my mother got really ill just before christmas, and that became a second full time job. She's back to being mostly independent again, but with ontario health at home help. Thank goodness for OHH. Otherwise this wouldn't be possible at all. She's now on the wait list for assisted living....but the wait times, i think she'll be gone before it happens. We shall see. And of course spring on the farm is the busy season. Trying to get the garden in. I actually didn't do any hatching this spring for the first time in 20 something years. just don't have time this year. And i have enough younger chickens to keep me through to next year. We lost our last clydesdale earlier this spring at 31 years old. She went down in feb, and we got her up, but then she went down again ....and we made the call to the vet. So all the horse fencing has been removed, the bees moved into the old paddock, a cedar hedge planted, the barn is slowly being cleaned out and the stalls removed etc. Waiting on all the darned tweety birds to hatch and fly and 2 ducks sitting on eggs to do their thing so we can fully clean the barn out. We'll likely convert it into a workshop. No more horses. Then another 5 deaths of people in the family or close to us....it's just been unrelenting this year. ug. but it's nice to have spring and see some of the plants flowering and growing. Still have to process ducks-only about 8 months late on that job.....i think i got the chickens contained....i have 3 escape artists, they think they're ducks. LOL.
I'll try to stop in more.....

- Mutant tomato experiment
I have had 2 tick bites and put on antibiotics twice this Spring and my Dr said stay out of the woods.
My tomatoes were left in the Aerogarden too long and look like Teenage Mutant Ninja Tomatoes. I have three hydroponic and three in soil. We will see which ones thrive better. FOR SCIENCE
We were looking for a Seniors home for my parents and one said they have a 8000 person waiting list
Luckily we found a wonderful place 5 mins from my house so I can drop by every day. I am planning on making a wheelchair ramp and installing some grab bars in the washroom at my house for when they visit. Our place is surround by trees and they will love that.

@lolotsung I'm sure the tomatoes will survive if you give them a good drink of water!
My own experiment "starting" tomatoes in an Aerogarden was interesting. Turns out that I left them in for too long and their roots were a foot long and had to be cut. One plant (Pink Berkley Tie Die) refused to germinate, so I kept trying more and more seeds until one finally did. It was really retarded, but when I checked them all out quite recently, PBTD looked far more healthy, stout and dark green. I don't think I will bother to start them that way next year. However, the peppers and eggplant all did exceptionally well :).
You are so lucky to have found a nursing home so close. I hope it goes well :).

Re: Good Morning 2025
there wasn't enough light this spring and the tomatoes in my greenhouse are a little bit leggy....first time ever. Have to get them in this weekend...my greenhouse looks a little bit like little shop of horrors LOL. I have 8 hops plants that also must go out...before it becomes the impossible task.
All the wait lists for the homes my mother has agreed to apply to were between 650 and 2500! It was first quite the battle to even get her to agree to applying! So we do groceries once a week for her, and we check in daily.... Glad you found a spot really close!

Sorry about your Clydesdale @WLLady they have always been my favourite horse. Big, strong, and beautiful! Peppers and eggplant next year! Also I took some basil seeds from my Aerogarden Basil plants and they sprouted. So now I have 6 basil plants and 1 surviving parsley plant that doesn't seem happy. Maybe I will transfer it to soil.
