I’m THE WEST VIRGINIA WOMAN, host of The Holstein House Podcast, proprietor of Holstein House B&B. Happily married since 17Mar21. I enjoy food prep and storage, gardening, dogs, cats, chickens, ducks

Good morning all y’all! We got a little rain last night. Found and killed three squash bugs, and two cucumber beetles. Got in a five minutes in home walking exercise. Lots of phone calls to make this morning and get the invitations out for the final Sunday service.

@coracle ?

Good morning all y’all! Just came in from tending all the things. Already 80° on the front porch and the sun is just topping the mountain. We have chances of rain off and on today, and we need it. Found more squash bug eggs, and this little guy.

What does your Sunday look like?

I sell my excess so I want to prolong their freshness. Plus, the chickens share space with the ducks and sometimes it gets muddy in the run. The mineral oil is to help reseal the shells after washing. It's a food grade that you can use on butcher blocks or soapstone counters, etc. If I just had a couple layers I wouldn't worry about it.

Rumble: There is nothing quite like harvesting that first squash of the season!

Just cleaned up three dozen of these for sale. I clean, coat with food safe mineral oil, and refrigerate mine. You *can* leave them on the counter but they do age faster. Still better than store bought! I just won’t put unwashed eggs in my refrigerator.

Egg wash, and flour dredged, fried in bacon grease! Burn my mouth every time because I can’t wait to eat them! #mmm

Good morning all y’all! House critters fed, poultry tended, garden watered. Picked the first squash of the season.

What do you do when it’s 100°F in the shade? Take a bath! #nostr #grownostr #ducks #wv #usa #homestead #heatwave

Duck the heat!

No. Well, I wouldn’t. I don’t know if you could. I am not eating the bugs.

Ug! Looks like squash bug eggs on the squash. These have to be stopped quickly because they will decimate the crop. #garden #pests #squash #nostr #grownostr #wv #usa
