Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

I hope everyone is enjoying the long weekend and the nice weather.
I finally got my mower deck all put back together.
just have to hook up the belt tensioner spring.
the belt is cracked pretty badly. I hope it holds long enough so
I can test run the thing.
the grapes that I salvaged last summer are setting fruit clusters.
the birds will be happy about that.
and the mulberry tree looks like it is setting fruit.
this is the first time ever.. I planted that tree less than ten
years ago. maybe it had to mature ? again, the
birds will be happy..

this is one of the T trellises I made.
Sorry about the back ground .
I will describe it to you.
It is a steel U post five feet sticking above the ground.
There is a 60" 1/2" rebar at the top.
It is held in place by a 1/4" eyebolt .
On each side there is a double strand of electric fence wire.
tied at approximately 45 degrees from the tips of the rebar
to about 30" down the post.
I trained the vine to go up each of those wires, and then
another one to continue up the post to the rebar and then
each way along the rebar.
when the vine gets to the end of the rebar, I cut the tip off.
This trellis does not have the vine up the post, yet. It did, but
it must have frozen off during the winter..
I will choose a new shoot and train it up the post..
there are tennis balls on the ends of the rebar to prevent anyone
poking an eye out..
I have five posts like this in a row.
 
Hi all, I am looking for a new owner of 9 hens, we have a decent chicken coop, so I can give it too. If someone is interested in, please let me know. I live near Buffalo Grove in the northern suburbs, IL.

Hey I just found this community. I’m looking for some fertilized eggs that my broody gal can sit on. We don’t have any roosters and she has been broody for a couple days now. In the Waupaca area but can travel 30-45 minutes away. Willing to pay or trade for the eggs.
