I’ll try the beer…hopefully hub won’t be mad that I’m “wasting” it!

My rooster, Darl, died sometime last night. I found him on the floor of the coop. His comb was sort of purple and his head was at a weird angle. So maybe he had a heart attack...? Or fell and broke his neck?

Yeah, this was my butthead roo. I'm sorry and not-sorry at the same time. He had a good two years, though. I buried him in the garden.

It froze last night. There was a hard crust a half inch thick to dig through in the garden soil. We're going to get snow in the next few days too. But about a week from now, it'll be in the 60s. Or so "they" say.

Sorry about that @Sally PB. Butthead or not, still stinks.

Yard got mowed yesterday and with these new baby chicks and company coming over I totally forgot to tell him NOT to weedeat around the posts under the deck. Reckon my morning glory seeds were disturbed?! I had straw overlaying them but I can tell some straw has been displaced. Ugh!

This is my life too! I ended up putting rocks around posts so he sees them & knows not to weed eat that close. But sometimes he does anyway by accident, lol.

@Iluveggers I was going to say the same about the beer. I bet you could even rig up something so it's covered so the rain doesn't mess with it. Like a mayo jar with half a side toward the bottom cut out or something.

Chilly out there today, supposed to rain on & off. I'm glad its chilly though, I have a giant brisket it the oven for 13 hours @ 250 so it would be hot in here if I couldn't open the windows!

Nothing goin on in the garden. But I have some starts in the house in those starter peat pots & they are all moldy around the bottom. I'm def not over watering, it's just that time of year here where it rains all the time so nothing dries out. Any suggestions? I'm going to put a fan on them & see if that helps. & maybe put them up on a rack instead of sitting on the table.

Just checking in here. The strawberries and blueberries have both set most of their fruit already here and we’re getting ready to start planting this week once it dries out a bit. They are talking highs in the mid to upper 80s here next weekend so I want to get the transplants established before that hits

Thanks! I was worried about having to replace them with each rain, your idea would solve that!

Ugh, that white stuff stinks!
