My chickens grew that.

 

Behold, after seven months, I have turned one Market Basket acorn squash into four.

There better be a huge (UUGE) focus on his decline after the debate. That's the time to put an emphasis on it - right after millions of people see it during the debate.

Original before I tried removing some of the people.

For years now I have just Frozen the tomatoes and then defrosted them all at once but it was time to do canning. I've noticed zero changes in taste.

Harvested the super I use for honeycomb. 12 containers and an extra gallon of honey

Flow Hive is the beekeeper answer.

The honey gets stored by the bees over months. Different pollen sources are available at different times, so it looks different in different places in the hive. I use a type of frame that let's me harvest each frame individually, so the different colors don't get all blended together.

One single harvest.

Touch grass more often.

 

3 gallons from one hive. My second hive swarmed, so not enough honey to harvest yet. The third hive I'm harvesting this week for honeycomb.

We've had weeks of 33°C (90's for us Yanks)

It's been brutal.

 

I'm going to be making so much pasta sauce

 
 
 
 
 

Collected about 2 gallons of honey this year.

 

 

First honey of the season. The second established hive will probably give about 10 times as much.

This hive died, the queen didn't make it and they were not able to rear a new one quickly enough. When I checked it today, it was totally dead, so I harvested the honey in the super and closed up the brood chamber with some apivar.

In the fall I will get this one going again. My other hive is doing amazing.

Mite counts were low on both hives, and I do preventative treatments.
