Mice in car is not good. Need to find a way to control it. I hope the mint works. I have never heard of using mint to deter mice but if it works, that would be great.
Corsaire. Hope you get your neighbor under control. You don’t need nosy neighbors checking out what you are doing at your own home. We have one that as soon as our garden is in, he is over here to see what he can get. I don’t mind sharing but that is the only time we see him. Though now he has stage 4 throat cancer from smoking and not over here like he was when the garden was planted. Though I do hope he gets through this. Cancer is a bad thing.
Had funeral to go to on Monday. A friend from our church passed away.
As for our garden, We need some dry weather really bad. We have lost some tomato and pepper plants and all of the butterbeans. DH does not want to try to replant butterbeans but to plant more green beans instead. Cucumbers are in bloom. What green beans we got from what did come up only gave us about 2 quarts of beans. Didn’t fare well with all the rain. It has rained almost everyday and the garden is to wet to plant right now. DH did till up the garden again, but the tiller got away from him and he fell. Cut his arm and scraped his knee. But otherwise is ok.I am now thinking maybe of getting things together for next year and doing raised beds. I am also looking into permaculture. I think that these methods might be easier on both of us.
Got back into going through things in office and pitching things out and reorganizing some things. Now that I have gone through the clothes, things are so much easier to find. We donated something like 5 large bags of clothes. Glad they are gone.
Grandson is going to help me go through my shed and get rid of some things and get that better organized. I keep my canning jars and very large pots on shelving along with christmas items on loft shelf. All my water containers are in there as well and I need to get them off the other side of loft as we are now in hurricane season and I need to get them filled. Just need to get several days of dry weather for the shed to get done. So going to clean out kitchen cabinets while I am waiting for dryer days. They said that June will be a wet month. I don’t think they were kidding.
So far I have not had anything to can this season as of yet. So am going to be watching for sales for chicken and hope to get some salmon and tuna on sale to can as well. I have plenty of beef and pork canned already. Need to hit the market for corn and peaches. I want to can some for this year as well. Corn is just coming in and peaches are just starting to hit the markets now. So got a bit of shopping to do soon.
