    Happy Easter everyone! I love the picture of the babies and eggs in the basket, Missy. It is a perfect Easter picture!

    Thanks for the info about molting, Missy and Elizabeth. My girls hatched out in February, so maybe they won't molt until next fall. Peep_Show---you must have lived in Tercero! I lived in Cuarto (new dorms that are just off campus) when I went to UCD. I liked that the town smelled like cows...

    Aww, Missy, DEATH TO SQUASH BUGS!!! I had to go out and patrol for bugs and eggs. It took about a week (maybe 10 days), but I think we managed to round up and kill the ones we had here. They nearly killed one plant, though. I'll admit it: I tore the leaf off where any eggs were deposited and put...

    Help!! 2 of my chicks have been pecked bloody!!

    Glad to hear they're doing better! I had one bully chick that pecked another's tail feathers completely out, too. They were about 4 weeks old when it happened. We had to separate her until she healed enough that there wasn't any red showing (that makes all the others peck at it). I did the same...

    I found this about starting rosemary from cuttings. http://gardening.about.com/od/vegetablepatch/a/Rosemary.htm I'm not sure my gardening sense is reliable enough to try it yet, but I really would love to have rosemary bushes someday.

    Well, we finally have squashes budding on all of our plants, tomatoes are setting and getting bigger, and the cucumber plant has several little cucs growing! I had to put up bird netting to protect my smallest and most delicate tomatoes. The finches were going crazy eating all of the leaves! I...

    Hi Lacy, I'm kind of a lurker, and I don't post very much. I made my guacamole the way I make everything... a little of this and a little of that. I used 12 small avocados, the juice of two lemons, some garlic powder, onion powder, a little cayenne, and a few sprinkles of sea salt maybe a...

    Wowza, lots going on, and TOO MUCH HEAT. I'm still looking for a job, and especially missing my previous positions where I got to enjoy ac during the day. Anyone know of someone hiring? Despite the heat we now have 4 of our 6 hens laying! I rigged up a very sad looking sheet to give the girls...

    I'm going to have to channel you, Missy, and start filling my freezer with produce while it's cheap. I have quite a bit of room in mine! And, thanks for the tips on where to find the cheap stuff, Elizabeth! I'm definitely going to get some strawberries. I've had frozen guacamole before and...

    I put myself through college, so I had to do plenty of things people see as trashy. Like shopping at Thrift stores, being a dirty field tech, oh and playing with lizards and frogs. "You touch those things?!" And I've actually been denied service at stores when I went in wearing field clothes...
