    What did you do in the garden today?

    I would like to get my feed from the local guy but he gets it from a mill, so it's not pellets, but ground up... grains and stuffs.. which is probably better for them BUT... it has this white grainy that smells like citrus in it that the girls absolutely REFUSE to eat. I can't justify paying a...

    back in the day I used to grow about 25 different pepper plants, and Id have a few cherry tomato's growing too. whenever a pepper rotted or got nasty on the vine id smoosh it into the tomato dirt, they would uptake the capsicum a bit and you'd bite into a spicy one every now and then ! I need...

    We get that here at the local feed stores. not too many mom and pop stores around anymore however the Rowes IGA tries to give good customer service. The tractor supply is decent that way too. When I had my double hernia surgery, and needed a bag of chicken feed, I asked if someone could throw...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I grew up there, and compared to say central / north florida it's a lot dryer there than here in the summer. A swamp cooler would still work well for you to keep the temp down a bit. It's basically a fancy schmancy humidifier. I remember the days of needing dynamite to pull dandelions :D its...

    Being in illinois, your humidity is a bit lower so you might have decent luck with swamp coolers to keep the temp down when needed. Aaron

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I wish I could agree with you but the morals and ethics just are not there anymore. Back when I was that dumb pimple faced kid, having a job was a privelage and you were glad you had one and PROUD of what you did, and tried to do your best to learn and be better. Today nobody gives a crap, they...

    Real slap in the face isn't it? You bend over backwards to be a good neighbor, only to find out they been using you all this time and don't give a crap about you. Oh they'll gossip about you behind your back, and of course they'll stand there with a greasy ass foot long used car salesman smile...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    But michigan has HUGE mulies for deer season, and the leaves changing for autumn, that is one thing I do miss seeing is the color changes for autumn and Indian summer. Also Michigan does NOT have cheese heads, so that's always a plus :D Aaron

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Move to Florida. I tell you, that bitter Chicago cold is one thing I do NOT miss one friggin bit. Nor the snow and all the shovelling and wrapping towels / sheets / anything you can find around your face so you can breathe without damaging your lungs when it's -30 F and colder outside with the...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Also, growing your own romaine is easy peazy TBH. The big thing is you have to remember to keep harvesting it. If you let it get 'big' then it gets bitter, so keep snipping the leaves and using them! This goes for pretty much all the lettuce and like types of plants. If it's indoors no...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    This is business as usual. If it was in the store, it'd sit on the counter until it rotted and then they'd be forced to throw it in the trash. BUT, since you are too lazy to go do your own shopping (in their POV) let's give it to you, because you are probably going to be too lazy to come in to...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    In the right conditions Burlap can rot real fast. I'd hate to see your melons drop :) A warm day or three and some wet in there and it'll break down real quick so if you did use some you better keep a real close eye on it. Aaron

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I'll send you a DM, don't want to be doing this in an open thread and upset anyone. They find enough reasons to hate on me, don't need to give them a real one :D Oh and for the record, there is no 'separating' the bird from the coffee. You get BOTH. In fact I'll have him deliver it to you...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    ahh, gotta love the snow pellets, get them quick tho while the snow blower can still pitch them before it turns into a frozen block of crap. Tell you what, that is the one thing I do NOT miss about living up north is that. This is where you wish you had a nice cozy fire place to sit around in...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    that crisper drawer in the fridge, if you don't have it full of other stuff, I find that if you set them at the 'dryer' 'drier' ??? setting, that stuff won't rot so much but will more want to dry out. even if it does get wrinkly and crunchy, unless you are tossing a salad with it, shriveled...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    If you are that starved for attention, sure we could go back and forth all week if you want, but why not just go hug a chicken. I bet they'd be able to put up with you, tho you might need to bribe them with a snack or two. Aaron
