What did you do in the garden today?

I almost forgot to let everyone know that I have a new puppy. This is WallyView attachment 3733825

OMG! I love him - look at those ears!

Welcome, Wally, you adoreable little pup!

I think I'm going to go ahead and start my broccoli and cauliflower seeds this weekend.

what breed is he? btw, he is a little handsome guy. I hope your chickens will be safe with him.

The lady said that he is border Collie and McNabb mix but I don't see it. Also thank you. He's a sweetie but he loves to chew .

Thank you. That's the jealousy pose I got because I was talking to the rabbits.

Yep, I will check the eggs 3X a day when it gets really cold outside. For me, really cold means the temps are down to -20F, or colder.

I am surprised to read that people won't eat a frozen and cracked egg. I'm not trying to convince anyone to do something that don't want to do, and certainly feeding eggs back to the chickens is not a waste of the eggs, but I would like to better understand what you and others are concerned about?

I have been eating frozen and cracked eggs for years and have never even thought twice about it. We sell our excess eggs to friends of the family, but never a frozen and/or cracked egg. But we eat all the frozen and cracked eggs at home and have never had any negative results.

If the egg isn’t disgustingly dirty and if I know they’ve just cracked and frozen the 1 time, then I’ll use them. Otherwise I’d rather not take the risk.

I had a triple brew coffee pot and bought some Folgers k-cups and found that they have a coffee filter inside of them so I am going to be using them for getting some of my seeds started. Also I will be using egg shells for some seeds. Just thought I could tell everyone about the idea

How would you repackage a few seeds? Without plastic

Why no plastic? Anyway, they make these cheap small freezer vials that can store seeds for a long time. They also, sell small glass vials, but I don't know if we can put those in the freezer. By the way the smaller .50ml is more expensive than the 1ml vials on this link. They cost about 9 cents each and we can buy smaller amounts at seller's store page.

My chickens will eat sweet potato leaves and Choi sum leaves, but they don't like lettuce. The red lettuce on the fence will still be there at the end of day.
