    What did you do in the garden today?

    Hello. New on the gardening thread. Yesterday I noticed all my demolished milkweed (from over 30 monarch caterpillars) are making a quick come back. One caterpillar stayed and made it's crysalis under the arm of my Mary statue. Which is just lovely. My gladiolas are peeking up every where...

    Ducks!! Mallard/rouen male/female help?!

    G.L. Wyandotte Chick Growth

    She seems healthy and holding her own. She is a typical redhead... independent and self sufficient, takes no nonsense from the others. Lol I give them all scrambled eggs in the mornings. I hate to post in medical emergencies if she seems other wise healthy. Thank you for your insight. I...
