Turkey Day Thinking

 

FYI - neither one of those folks is me but we're related!

And I did some serious thinking too.

Last Bee Check

Warm again today with rain coming tonight so I did a final check of the hives.  Took a super off Hive #4 and moved 3 full frames from Nuc #1 to Nuc #3.  I looked in all the hives - just in the top super to see if they were full of honey.  All six hives looked good and hopefully will have enough food to last the winter.

PEGGY

I've been having some computer problems and have been dealing with a somewhat similar peggee! I'd stomp my foot if it would help - well, I have and it didn't help!
Hope to be up and running soon.

It's a bird, it's a plane, it's . . . .



Happy Halloween

Charleston

I was in Charleston last weekend with Baby Boy.  We had a great time - walked a lot, took a carriage ride around the town, had some wonderful food, and played in the park.

Garden Beds

I've been working in the garden trying to get a little ahead for next year.  I always wait until spring and then my beds aren't ready and I'm behind before I get started. I got two loads of leaf mulch a couple of weeks ago - buy 1, get 1 free - now that was a deal.

I've replaced the rotted boards.  I use treated 4x8's and the big box store will cut them in half so three 4x8's will make one bed.  I've added leaf mulch to some of the beds and will add more.  I also want to plant a cover crop on the beds.

Moved some of the strawberry plants to a new bed.  And generally trying to clean up a little - the mosquitos and hot weather about did me in this summer.  The mosquitos are still around but at least it's not so hot.

And we're supposed to have some rain the next day or so.
