Yep. Just got busy with school, etc and haven't had much of a garden or any chicken questions. I got a new phone yesterday and decided to login.

Just ran across this. I'm going to check it out!

Hi all. Just getting logged back in to BYC after a break. I have some things sprouting in my straw bales. Mustard greens, dill, beets, etc.

Hi gardening peeps! Decent 1st day at school today, but I'm sure the garden will suffer with my neglect LOL. Yesterday, I noticed that some naughty girl flew into the hoop area and tore some stuff up while I was gone for meetings and prep. I'm waiting for a slight cool down to check things...

It may happen. How is she doing?

My experiment was to put some potatoes from the store that were squishy and sprouted like crazy into grow bags with just loose straw that I collected from the senior prank where they spread hay every where in front of the school. They seem to be growing well.

I'm sitting on the porch catching up on posts. It is a good thing since Olive really wants to lay an egg in my azaleas. She's very persistent! I just keep telling the dog to shoo her sway, and she enjoys the job. Nice sprinkling rain out today. I planted some more beans and peas a couple of...

Finished. Great book!

Loving this discussion! I was lucky as far as politics and social commentary goes. My dad was an ACLU member and legal aid attorney /administrator. We are definitely on the same page there with 3 out if 4 of my siblings. Mom started off pretty conservative, but is a democratic precinct...

That story reminds me of one my husband tells about his childhood. He was about 6 and a tornado was approaching the area. His dad told him to come inside and watch a movie (The Omen). Doors were sucking in on screen and in real life and he says it is the scariest movie he's seen to this day...

On chapter 2 of The Tattooist is Auschwitz. Really good so far. I report for meetings starting tomorrow, so I bet I finish books much more slowly in the near future.

@aart, I just finished The Marsh King's Daughter. Good book, and I can see why you compared it to Where the Crawdads Sing.

@Sally PB and @aart , I agree with both of you. I think others in reviews have also mentioned Sheba as Cher and I definitely caught both Mary Jane references @aart mentioned. She also starts off kind of plain Jane in the beginning but blossoms from there. Question 2 if you accept my...

Please ask and report back! That board trick does sound smart. I'm.so jealous of @Acre4Me and those squash blossoms. I have plenty of tomatoes, but no squash plants left!
