Ah! That makes a lot of sense! It is a Black Copper Marans.

The price on the brand's website was good, but not unbelievable. It was their whole website that had me skeptical. And a huge THANK YOU for the help! I couldn't remember who gave me the tip... What are the dog crates for? I tried mowing the lawn yesterday, but rain decided to appear... I got a...

That's the grass that invades my garden beds! And the pointy parts hurt if they poke you. I love it outside of my garden, though! It's so lush and soft!

The big box stores near me don't carry it in a large enough amount to be worth buying, unless in dire need. The Arbico Organics place had the gallon size for a better price than I had been seeing AND they gave me $5 off. So, I'm just waiting, now. I'm excited to do something to get at these...

I may have started getting lost on their website because they have a bunch of cool things! I am pretty sure Garden Supplies Math is a real thing! "I need BT spray, that's it.... Oh, LOOK! Beneficial insects! And season extenders! And......."

It has been a lifelong dream of mine to see the Aurora. Last night, I got to see them! They were faint, and we had clouds and rain when they were supposed to be at peak, but I was so happy I finally got to see them that I may have shed a few tears of happiness! They showed up really well in...

I saved nasturtium seeds last year. I wasn't expecting them to germinate because they weren't in the greatest condition when I scooped them off the ground (lots were spongy even after drying for a few weeks). But quite a few did germinate, and I am going to try to save a ton more this year!

Too true! And lots of people wouldn't even think about that. They say BT doesn't affect anything beneficial, but I take that with a grain of salt. We have such a bad problem with gypsy/spongy moth caterpillars that I need something that is more targeted to them.

QUESTION FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BOUGHT IT BEFORE: Where do you get your BT spray? I really need to get some, and would prefer to get some version of bulk because we have a lot of fruit trees (some quite large) and a problem with gypsy/spongy moth caterpillars.

I did the same thing! Started soaking seeds, and then realized I had to dig tons of grass out of the beds they were going in. So, I poured out the water, and they sprouted under moist paper towel in a plastic container. And I didn't have to wonder if they would germinate or if I would have to...

Today, I spent a few hours tarting garden bed cleanup. I'm way behind on it, but as long as it gets done. I mainly was pulling out grass, but there were other weeds, too. It's amazing how sneaky grass is. You look at your garden bed and think, "I'm pretty sure this used to be bigger..." and then...

We seem to have mostly grays. I found one yellow under an apple tree in the orchard this year. If I could get a decent harvest of morels, I would put more effort into finding them... but I get a headache when I hunt for them, and we only ever seem to find 5-6, and those are in our front yard. I...

I weeded most of the garden beds against the house and garage. The back one was ridiculous! I found a hole in it at one point, and was expecting it to be a mole/mouse tunnel. Nope! It was a cup shaped divot FILLED with weeds. So something was making a bed/nest, and I ruined it. All the weeds...

It's an actual thing! I had to look it up what it's called: Choice paralysis! When you have so many options it is overwhelming, and you can't make a decision. That's kind of what I get at this time of year, apparently. It doesn't help to have new chicks and a new puppy that also require some of...

I need to actually do some spring rushing! We are still a few weeks away from our average last frost date, but I'm having anxiety because there seems to be so much to do, and the anxiety is keeping me from moving forward. Which is stupid. And I know it's stupid. Which somehow adds more pressure...

Our puppy will flip over on his back when he's starting to wake up, and I'll tell him, "This is a Christian household, you need to cover that up!" :lau

I just saw this and it got me thinking and wondering!

True! But the screws would stick out inside the brooder. And it's easier to just put something under it for now. I'm also putting their first brooder (a medium-sized dog crate) in front of the screen so the dogs can look, but not bust in if they get too excited.

I finished the chicks' upgrade today. Welcome to The Mini Coop: (I did put something under the power strip so it isn't dangling.) Upon finally moving in, the chicks immediately tested out their wings, and then the roosting bars! They then picked a spot in the back corner to scratch around. I...

Duh! I should have been able to figure that out!
