that is awesome!

Hey! i just learned how to knit a few months ago! I have been working on hats and scarves for the Angel Tree ministry at my church, and i think i want to try my hand at something a little more intricate, anybody have any nice patterns that are fairly easy, yet not so plain that i could try? i...

OH OH OH!!! i found a free coop on craigslist!! I may be getting my chickens sooner than expected so long as the coop is still available! Trying to no get too exceited but I can't help it!

LOL thanks rancher! yeah that really is the holdup. we don't have the coop yet and don't have the funds right now to build one. i keep scouring craigslist for free (or really cheap) stuff to use but haven't found anything that i like quite yet in the area *sigh*. The search continues...

Nope not yet! My hubby and I will be getting them in the spring next year (if i can't convince him to get them earlier).

I used to think they were pretty cool looking until i saw what they were capable of in just a short time! now they are the bane of my existence! cant wait to get my chickies so they can start on bug patrol next year!

Ahh!!!!! i just plucked 5 hornworms off my tomato plant!!! i am soo afraid there are more but i can't do any more searching until the storm passes!!! Nasty evil creatures!

gelanie, i didn't know that they would sprout more roots if you buried part of the vine! very interesting! Thanks for the info everyone!

Thanks queen chick! i will keep that in mind! is there anything else i can do about the borers? i know there is nothing i can do about it this year but my garden isn't all that big so i don't think i can move them far enough away from the affected area.

I love my garden! This years season isn't even over and i am already planning what to plant where next year! Something has killed my squash plants already. I think it is some kind of worm that burrowed into the plant and hollowed it out...Its a shame, i was really enjoying the fresh summer...

My 3 year old came in with an egg that he had dropped on the floor and declared "oh no its leaking! Help! fix it!" I couldn't get him to understand that i couldn't fix it, so i just told him to give it to the dog, he then proceeded to feed 3 more eggs to her. I found it frustrating yet funny...

Oh and i am waiting until we have the funds to build a coop before i jump in and get chicks.

I am in franklinville, my brother lives in moorestown and he is only 30 mins away!

You aren't too far from me! No chickens here yet but hopefully soon!

Shadow Rabbit, i am close to vineland, so waaayyyy south, I will have to check out Jersey Chickens. Thanks!
