Thank you for the recipe!!! Rice pudding fan here. I am also the only one in the house that eats it. Cant wait to try the crockpot. My great grandma used to make it. I miss her so much.

I am so glad you take care of the little chickies babes that way. I feel mine are very deserving creatures, and such treats are just well....a fitting treatment for them. Have you tried Greek yougart on them yet?? Thanks for the post and pics , it made my day.

We pay $300 a week, for adult care takers. Its alot of responsability, in my eyes. We have tried the teenager route and that hasnt worked. I want quality consistant care and I am willing to pay for it.

I have no advice or help, but just wanted to send you HUGS! Hope things get better soon.

I keep my farm as clean chemical wise as possible to help the little buggers. We also capture and release any that get into the house. I also leave certain areas non brushhogged so they have some goldenrod for food. As far as Monarchs we do not weedwack milkweed. I get asked whats the deal with...

It is amazing how much you can grow in a small space. Every year I am amazed at the yields I get from my raised beds. I seriously wish to look into hydroponics. Thankyou for the great thread!

I do all my gardening by hand. I do use an old antique push by hand cultivator, and shovels and hoes, etc. I do raised beds though so no tilling.

Rule of thumb-- If you see a red flag ....avoid. seriously there are many reasons not to have people to your farm. Some people live alone and worry about creepers. Some worry about the sprained my ankle lawsuit. Some worry about the CL scoopers, that dont buy the item, but turn up later and...

I work with horses everyday, and have done so my entire life. I wear riding breeches. They are VERY comfortable, sturdy, long lasting, and come in dark colors as to hide stains. I find you do alot of crouching, bending, squatting, etc and they are made for this. They move with you and dont bind...

well for someone as addicted to gardening as I am living frugal isnt so bad when it comes to food. I love tomato sandwichs, anyone else? I save about 80 bucks a month not running the dryer. I coupon and buy bulk. Price shopping is moist likely my biggest hint, dont assume something is cheaper...

As far as backyard farming, be careful it is a very addictive lifestyle. Things on you drawing look great. Every year you tend to add something more. Like a fruit tree or asparagus patch, or garlic, or rhubarb. I think you see the pattern. Anyways I am happy for you to be exploring this, you...

I am so blessed to live in a very rural area. I really dont have many neighbor problems, mostly everyone keeps to themselves, unless some one needs help, then everyone pitches in. My mother lives in town. Her story is a totally different one. Her one set of neighbors ( a couple in their golden...
