What’s going on in your garden (2025)?

Lawnmower job! Sheds them for faster decomposition as well.

Yes, I run over them blowing them into either a line or a pile depending on turning room.

Picked 700gms of raspberries. Added 500gms from freezer.
Made jam. I got 7 jars. Prolly enough jam now i will be doing coulis.

Used to have around 30 cows but that went belly up trying to raise beefalo. Only livestock now is whatever wanders in. One of these days I'm going to have chickens.

I think you would be good at keeping chickens. Go for it!

I can’t even have chickens here, too tight, the noise would wake up the neighbors.

You know goats pee on their chins right? It's a smell thing for the other goats.

How do they do that? It seems difficult.

Thank you. I'll have to build a proper "house", plenty of predators for chickens. I'll need another Ozzie type dog...

Neighbors are a bit away. Can't see them until dead of winter and with binoculars. Almost in the middle of 93 acres.

I would be very afraid to live in a middle of 93 acres, even one acre is too much for me.
