I learned something new today. Apparently my pups enjoy crunching on Mississippi Mud Bugs. I tried them for the first time the other day and thought my chickens would like to pick the carcasses clean. The pups rushed to the piles and dove in! Lol

Turnip Seed Harvesting
Would you believe this gorgeous plant is just the lowly turnip going to seed? Isn’t it amazing how beautiful vegetables can be?! I have a whole row of these lovelies that will give me fresh new turnip seeds for Fall harvest.
