Think of the money you could have made if you hadn't shared with a bunch of us for free! :gig I harvested a couple yesterday, and they were yummy in my balsamic veggies!
My secret to getting an actual harvest of strawberries this year: bunny poop!! It almost makes me want to keep bunnies...
Cloudy all day long was the forecast. Well, the sun decided to come out around 10, so it is hard for me to stay inside! I spent about an hour and twenty minutes on the front porch brushing the dogs while there was still shade up there. The 6 month old didn't need much brushing, the 2.5 year old...
Got a bed re-weeded (had dug out grass before planting the peas, but little baby grass seeds decided that meant I prepared that bed for them, too:idunno), and another fully planted yesterday. All of my tomatoes and peppers are in the ground, finally! I'm planting differently, this year. I'm...
I had the same thing happen yesterday morning! They forecasted the low to be 41°, and when I got up and looked at the thermometer, it said 36° and there was frost on the top of my truck. So, I sprinted around watering all my plants. I didn't see any frost on any plants, but was still terrified I...
I'm thinking about putting clear flap-type things (clear shower curtain, or something like those clear plastic door curtains that are in warehouses with cold rooms...) over the chicken door opening. They would allow the chickens to go in and out at will (until I close the door at night) and...
HAHAHA!!! I've heard that they like to be close, which is part of the reason I'm not concerned. The other reason is that I have lots of space set aside for companion plants (flowers and herbs), so I could put peppers in as well. I am planning on putting all 23 hot peppers in one 3'x12' bed, so...
That was how I read it at first, too and it made me chuckle!
I should definitely try this! It probably would have made planting my soaked beet seeds easier, more uniform, and less crowded.
Today, I went into the garden and moved all the seedlings to where they will be planted. I counted my...
I used only the amount of staples that were needed, and I'm doing deep litter bedding. I know they can dig their way to the bottom, if they fixate on one spot, but I don't think it will be a problem.
The chicks turned 6 weeks old today. We got the coop finished up, and the run just had some finishing touches. Because the coop is done, the chickies got moved into their forever home! So, those stinkers are finally OUT of the garage! I'm trying not to be paranoid that we didn't predator-proof...
I figured out a way to protect the sacrificial plywood on the floor of my coop: feed bags.
Dog food bags, chicken feed bags, bird seed bags, etc. cut down one side to open it up, laid on the floor, and stapled down.
Nope, not mullein. If I had a picture of mullein on my phone, I'd add it here, but I'll have to try to remember to get a picture of it tomorrow.
Today, I got to pick out a free bouquet of yellow roses that were passing their prime. I'm not normally a cut-flower/bouquet sort of gal, but they...
Thank you! It's been a lot of hard work, that's for sure!
Oh! Good to know! Sorry you had to go through that!
Maybe... that would definitely seal up those gaps better. I'll be talking with my husband about that!
They are in a brooder in the garage that has window screens for the roof and...
