You might recall last year mama duck had her babies at my front porch behind my bush. She’s back again this year she just dug a new hole (assuming for new pregnancy) I will say she’s quite the slut
I’ve got some advice

I tried the garlic this year, but they ate all but one of them. Toss some citrus peels around to repel the squirrels, coons, rabbits and vermin in general.
Repeated spraying steeped habanero or chili flakes will keep most mammals from munching. The birds can’t taste hot. Heard rubber snakes help if you move them around daily.
Onions (work), rosemary (trying), oregano (trying) , lavender

Hell yeah I’ll try that. That’s 90% of my problem solved right there if it works

I eat about five oranges per day myself. I save my orange peels in a giant Ziploc bag and freeze them to rehydrate my curing weed stash. There’s no shortage of orange peels in my house 
Thank you for the tip!

Failure hits the Marigolds germination attempt. Starting 12 Solo cups 12 days ago and each cup having approximately 10 seeds brought forth zero % germination. It was started in a 50/50 mix of cow manure and used Happy frog soil. Assuming the cow manure had something to do with it I just finished redoing another 12 Solo cups this time without any manure and placing the seeds horizontally rather than vertically in the soil I did last time.
We shall see, worst case scenario I have to buy them 
This time I said a prayer. Maybe that’ll help as well

That asshole gave you some bogus seeds, man.

I just talked to my son. He said the Happy frog soil was fine but it wasn’t Cow Manure in the bucket

That is a pretty rich mix, try 5-10% cow manure
or whatever

I believe that was the problem. I redid in just Happy frog

Actually had to flush my Solo cups tomato plants this morning. Way to much nitrogen. Please were curling up falling off. Ppms before flush, like 1300 they shouldn’t be more than 400ppm I’m hoping they’ll recover.

Serious cold front set in for all week. Last night it was 29° this morning is 38° with a high of only 41° I can’t stand April 
Once again the return of mother duckling to my front porch having her babies. Her behavioral pattern has severely changed since last year. Last year she laid approximately eight eggs and would only leave to get food and water for no more than 20 minutes and she would return and lay on her eggs.
This year she lays one egg per day and leaves she does not sit on her eggs nor does she frequent to check on them. I truly believe she’s become a prostitute and spends her day pimping her pride.
I see her walking around with male ducks all over the neighborhood but she doesn’t take care of her children. I’m calling social services. I believe today they call it child protective services. She’s an unfit mother.

If shes not sitting on them they’re likely unfertilized? Free eggs. The only time our chickens will roost is on a fertilized egg. By the way, that alien looking 1/2 six pack bud needs to be paying rent. We got some whore ducks too. They’re always ducking in our fitch.

I harvested that plant back in October of 2023 I still have over 1/2 pound in cure bags and it’s still as potent as it was the day I harvested.
They’re duck eggs, can you eat duck eggs? I could always take them in the house and put them in the refrigerator and let the kids dye them for Easter (eggs here are $7.99 a dozen)
She’s always walking around the neighborhood with two other male ducks

Does unfertile mean her Hoo-Ha is dirty?

LOL, duck slut, love it.
There’s a very old joke that goes…
There are only two reasons why a girl shouldn’t take it in the bum…and I don’t care what either one of them are!!!
