    Cucumbers and vinegar

    Vinegar is suitable for cucumbers, but I'd choose to have mine with ketchup and mayo. What I like about eating cucumbers is their neutral-like flavor that you can mix with different kinds of dips.

    Mushrooms!

    You can expect more mushrooms in the following days since it's been raining again. Thankfully they're a harmless bunch, but you can get rid of it with soap if you're bothered by their appearance.

    Gourds

    That's true. Vines should start to appear as soon as ten weeks after plantation because it'll need time for pollination. If it hasn't grown yet, I'm afraid it won't mature enough and rot.

    Combine harvester

    Thank you for your offer, although I was only curious about people's opinion of combine harvesters. It sounds more complicated to know that you'll have to make the machine yourself. Is this always the case?

    Garden shredder - my new must-have

    That's efficient given your location and not being able to burn anything. You get to keep things more organized and even gather compost from the shredder. I guess you can count this as one of your best impulsive yet economic decisions.

    Kitchen Waste for Pot Compost

    I'm trying to be careful about the soil's mixture in fear that it might affect plant growth. From what I've known, fruit and vegetable peels are suitable for pot composts since they decompose quickly. Is it okay to put any food wastes into a potting compost as long as it's organic?

    Spooked by firecrackers?

    It's better to take precautions since dogs can get scared of fireworks that there's no reason farm animals won't too. They might also get stressed if they remain confined and unable to seek cover.

    Kitchen Gardening or Home Gardening

    Kitchen Gardens seems to be the whole package with its practicality and aesthetics. I didn't know you can grow so many varieties at home with minimal space. Kitchen waste won't even have to get thrown anymore! There's a lot to look forward to in making this a hobby.

    Farm Pond vs Well

    It would be wise to have farm ponds, especially in these times of climate change. It's harder to predict now what kind of weather we're going to have. Too much drought can kill some crops if there's no backup water resource.

    So hot, flowers are screaming

    I agree. Watering too much might drown the vines instead of nurturing them. It's advisable to water them consistently throughout the day rather than take the risk of overwatering them.

    Helping the unhelpful

    I'll only offer my assistance if it does good to the person. I find that some guidance only worsens situations; wherein the receiver can become dependent. That can only be harmful to them in the long term, so better to think it through.

    Growing crops at home

    It's nice to get away from all the digital stuff and create a green space for yourself when you're living in an urban area. Plants became a trend, especially during this pandemic. I want to take it to a practical level by growing crops in my home. I heard salad greens are easy to grow, are there...

    Combine harvester

    This device is practical in that you can get rid of other equipment once you have this. However, I'm wondering if it's worth it because it's also costly as it is useful. It'll be good for the increase in production if we're thinking long-term, but I'm doubtful it wouldn't affect the environment...

    Best for getting to fields

    Try using lighter equipment. It may help reduce the harmful effects of the machinery. Heavier tractors can stunt the growth of your crops if it affects the soil due to its pressure.

    Marek's disease

    It'll be helpful to sign up for that class, regardless if it'll help your flock recover from the disease. Maybe you'll learn more ways about how to handle the situation in case your flock gets infected with the disease.
