Good morning all y’all! All the critters are fed. Cucumber beetles picked and drowned, eggs removed and mashed. Storm rolled through last night and dropped 1/2 inch of rain. Memorial service for the nephew at noon. Then I am officiating a wedding at 2:00. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Nematodes applied. Spinach is over. I might start more. Kale and chard still going. Trimmed herbs to dry. A few strawberries and blueberries were ready. The blackberry is okay but not much production this year. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #blueberries #strawberries #herbs #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Brunch salad. This is about 50/50 homegrown and store bought. The eggs, chard, kale, spinach, zucchini flower, and peas were grown here. The tuna, dressing, tomatoes, and carrots are store bought. It was yummy! #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Hope how soon the nematodes get here. I managed to drop these striped beetles in some soapy water but that won’t work long. holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #pests #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

I have a few bush beans on the way. Also earwigs! Earwigs have stripped my parsley. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y'all! Critters fed, poultry tended, gardens checked. Already finding some striped cucumber beetles on my zucchini. I need to go to Rural King today so may look for nematodes. Dad's deposits and some other errands on the to-do list today. #holsteinhouse #garden #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! Porch garden coming along. Strawberries, tomatoes and peas. My peppers are slow to grow but hanging in there. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Strawberries! I love my strawberries. This year I have eight hanging baskets of them. #holsteinhouse #wv #usa #travel #bnb #chickens #ducks #garden #strawberries #gm #pv 🤙 #spring #food #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Porch peas producing. This container variety of pea will provide a few snacks to porch sitting guests. 😋 #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr

Good morning all y'all! It's 51* out this morning. A very nice start to the day! No rain in the forecast for a change! Tomato plant starting to bloom. #holsteinhouse #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr

Good morning all y’all! A break in the rain gave me time to do a couple small things. Ran some twine for the peas. My trellis isn’t quite tall enough. Pulled weeds back from trombochino and luffa. Pulled some suckers from tomatoes. Moved those tropical plants he brought home to the front porch. They are actually Blood banana, Begonia, Plumeria, Upright elephant ear, Silver vase. #holsteinhouse #garden #food #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr #foodstr

Good morning all y’all! Busy day today. After morning chores off to pay license renewal fees, then to hospital to visit a friend in poor shape, and struggling after a five bypass heart surgery. Storms possible later but warmer. #holsteinhouse #prayer #wv #usa #travel #bnb #gm #pv 🤙 #nostr #grownostr #bnbstr
