Sometimes it makes you wonder why you go through all the trouble to grow the garden... Hey, I know all the positives.... not saying not to grow a garden... but the produce auction is a good way to get a quantity all at once especially if you want to do some major canning/freezing/pickle making.

Agree!! Plus if you don't have room to grow some things. I've talked to people who did stop gardens and just bought auction to can. Both garden & canning are big work!

Rain....over 2" Thur evening then lighter overnight Thurs and off/on until 2ish Fri afternoon. Possibles late today & tomorrow. But it's hot here!

Tomatoes were limp and I had to water, now so much rain they are splitting. . Garden reverting to pasture....tractor down, can't till. up to my eyeballs in work this week.

I hardly ever grow corn anymore. Except I like the Country Gentleman Shoe peg white corn... and they did not germinate well due to the old seeds this year. But corn takes alot of room. Like the vining squash and all if the mulch gets down early... not alot of work once they get going and like winter squashes... only pick late in the year to keep...
Have not kept up as well as should ahve either this year due to issues with the mower and such. But... still ahead of the year before of no garden and I have enjoyed part of it... NOT the DAM#@D DEER PART !!!! Potatoes are starting to die down...
Still it is a good start for next year when I both feel better; knees working better, and got it tilled this year to start the ground working up part... and there will be a fence next year come HE// or HIGH WATER...

What do y’all do when your toe is fractured? The doctor told me to be lazy and keep my foot up. I can’t see my chickens or Dutch (my lamb).

Which toe? Big toe, bigger deal. Little toes broken are painful but as long as nothing is dislocated or shattered or smooshed you should be back to a cautious normal in a couple of days with them. Listen to your Doc if told to stay off of it

Big toe. I dropped a glass cake dome cover on it. It’s the same color as a purple nail polish lol. Yeh I’m Am being forced to sit on the couch all day . This needs to be better by Wednesday. I’ve got to wear normal shoes on the first day of school.

My husband and I had a mean rooster (have I told this story?). Little bxxstard had been blindsiding us for weeks. Then escaping the wrath of Greenjeans by scampering to the nearest unreachable spot, cackling hysterically. One evening around beer o clock, Hubbs got Ninja-ed again and he aimed a mighty kick at the bird. Which was standing directly in front of a steel fence post. Bird darts aside and Hubb’s foot clad only in a knock-off crock connects with a sickening crunch. The local ER wasn’t too busy thank goodness and as soon as the incredulous and hysterical laughing stopped he got fixed up and we were on our way. Legend has it the rooster was delicious.

Tape it to another toe. Then suck it up buttercup. Walk on it, do what you normally do. It’s just gonna hurt. It doesn’t stop me, it shouldn’t stop you.

Tape it really well to your other toes so it can't move. If the surgical tape doesn't hold it tight enough, wrap it in gauze and use duct tape.

Duct tape is wonderful. I once cut the tip off my finger with the small chop saw when the piece of wood jumped. I was alone at 2 am in our old apartment building. Blood gushing everywhere. I washed away the blood, poured Hydrogen Peroxide on it OOWW OOWW! Then wrapped it in antibiotic ointment covered paper towels (several layers to stop the blood seeping through) and duct taped it heavily and tightly. Healed perfectly in a week.

Didn't have to stop cutting moldings either. Had to finish apartment since we had a new tenant due to move in.

Can't you get a boot for school like they use for broken feet?

Yeah "normal shoes" not in your future for a couple weeks.

I'm inside doing various things....to clear out, get over, complete my rash of canning, freezing and general "too much produce at once" weekend. I need a week off to rest!
