Oh, these are my cocka berries. Cockaurs. So, I may burn those. Uh, cockaurs are no good. I don't know why. Uh, here here's how cockaurs got into my garden. I went out and I got some straw from my local Lowe's. It had cockaur in the straw. Cockaur uh has inundated my garden. And all it takes is one cockaur seed to mess up your garden just like this one has done. I'll be fighting this for a long time to come. And I don't even know where to go with it unless it's just taking it and burning it somewhere. So the chickens are out. We'll let them go peck through the garden. They'll get in here and eat all this rotten debris, all these tomatoes. They'll just hop up in here and gobble it all down. And they're going to come on out in the garden pretty quick here. They'll also dig a little bit and uh get some worms and and other stuff. So, putting the garden to bed every year is super important and getting a winter garden in place. So, we may do some cabbage. I like to make sauerkraut. If you guys haven't seen my sauerkraut video, I'll try and post it at the end of this. I don't like sauerkraut from the store, but I do like my own homemade sauerkraut. It is absolutely delicious when you make it yourself. And all it is is salt and cabbage. You can grow this stuff out in the garden and make it
