    Wyrd Sisters (the Discworld chickens)

    I love the Discworld series. Terry Pratchett had so many great turns of phrase. My introduction to him was the blurb on the back of the book, Mort. Blurbs are supposed to make you want to read the book, and this one surely did, with its first sentence. "Death comes to us all, and when he came...

    Our Backyard Bee Journey!💗🐝

    AHA!!!! That's makes sense! Ignorant question... Do you use the freezer as an airtight box so that the frames are safe from pests, or do you actually freeze the frames? If the latter, when you take them out, is there anything special to do when you thaw them?

    I let Widget out of the broody crate late this afternoon. She's still making her pre-broody noise: bup-bup-bup-bup. :rolleyes: I closed off the nest boxes. I hope to see her on the roost with the other ladies in a few minutes. Really, Widget... it's too hot for you to be in the crate or...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    What do you do with the dead canes? I'd heard that they can harbor pests over the winter, so I burned them in the burn barrel.

    Is it a problem hatching a single turkey poult? Will it hang out with the chickens? Or do you have to integrate it into your turkey flock?

    Isn’t fermented feed alcoholic??

    Regarding kombucha... I make my own. It is non-alcoholic. I can knock back a 16 oz bottle on an empty stomach and my 120 lb body does not even get to the "feeling good" stage. The grocery store I shop at sells only the "may contain trace amounts of alcohol" kind of kombucha, and anyone can buy...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The purpose of the buckwheat is to keep the weeds at bay. It sprouts quickly, has decent sized leaves right away, and thus shades out the weeds. If it flowers, that would be great for the honeybees. It doesn't fix nitrogen, and doesn't tolerate frost at all, so I don't have to worry about it...

    Deer have taken all the leaves off my hostas. The plants are about 10 feet from the front porch.

    Your tagline, "Finding success by learning from failure" makes me think of a book I recently read. Antifragile: Things that Gain from Disorder by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Highly recommended!
