Hi there!
Just sorting the good, the bad and the ugly of the tomatoes! Thought I might do a batch through the dehydrator. Save some freezer space!
The house currently smells like a big tomato.
The chooks got the dodgy tomatoes and some warm mash. Seriously – they NEED to up their game – one or two eggs a day from 11 birds is pretty slack!
Boy oh boy did they enjoy that! Our little half silky/half Australorp was especially keen. I thought she was going to pop!!
Sticky beaks everywhere!
This carrot is doing well… considering its growing in the pathway with the weeds!!
Plenty of other carrots in the proper bed as well as seeding ones!
Lots of celery seeds!
Look! More tomatoes! haha
Todays haul!!
Hope your weekends are going along fabulously!
Cheers
(It rained a lot today on and off!)
What exactly is the mash that you feed the chickens? Love your blog!
Hi Mandy! It always changes depending on whats in the pantry – but usually a good portion of rolled oats (Just the plain brand cheap supermarket stuff) There was a little out of date cereal and I cut up the failed beef jerky. Other times I have put in leftovers we haven’t eaten, sometimes a bit of their grain/pellets, sometimes a scoop of powdered milk. Happily the girls are not fussy and will totally love their warmed mash no matter what I chuck in it! Now – lets see if I keep this up if we get more eggs! lol
Lisa, have you ever made chow chow? It is made using green tomatoes, bell peppers, onions and cabbage and seasoned with pickling spices and vinegar and a touch of salt. It is excellent with dried beans and on hotdogs. It is one of the “end of the garden” relishes we make in the Southern USA.
I haven’t heard of this before! I’ll have to have a look at it! Always fun to try a new recipe (I still haven’t put in cabbages yet!) 🙂
