    Can you give some more details? Age, breed? If you don't know the breed, do you know anything abut his parentage?

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    I will do a load of laundry and hang it on the line after hubby mows. I will sort and clean some more garlic and onions. I will find something else constructive to do. Even if it's a nap.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    TSC has the middle sized ones for around $2800 sometimes. Of course, that doesn't include the add ons that you really want to have with it. And they aren't cheap to run. Or quiet, I think.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I might have to try this! Freezer space for the bags might be an issue. If it were just me, I think I'd get one. Hubby doesn't see the payoff, so what I wouldn't give is about $3000.

    Leg mites?

    I was just looking up using Ivermectin pour on for scaly leg mites and found this post. I do have bees. Can you explain how Ivermectin pour on used on my chickens might affect the bees? My chickens are enclosed in a coop/run set up. The bee hives are several hundred feet away.

    Any Home Bakers Here?

    Oh, what a GREAT idea! Thank you for posting this! I will do that next time I make zucchini bread (soon!). The "squeeze out in a towel" method is a mess.

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today

    I spent about 3 hours sorting and cleaning garlic and onions. My butt is numb from sitting on a hard bench, and my back is tired. My hands are tired from the twisting and pulling motions. That was about all I did today. Of any note, anyway. I did other things.

    Things you wish you could say

    I don't mind know it alls... if they know what they're talking about. I can deal with almost any delivery if the information is good. As a friend of mine (who is very knowledgeable and capable in his field) says, "It's not bragging if you can do it." If you're pulling scraps of info you've...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I got tomatoes earlier this year than ever before. I canned 5 quarts last week, and 2 more yesterday. I'm at the point where I have too many to eat fresh, but not enough to do a full canner load (7 quarts). I have to can them a few jars at a time to keep them from spoiling.
