    How's everyone making out in the wake of the storm? We just got power back an hour or so ago, making for 3.5 days without... not too bad. Have a couple small generators for the small amenities, getting the well working again though is nice. Been flushing with buckets of pond water and filling up...

    Processed a bunch of birds this weekend for customers, this is why you purge for at least a day before processing :oops:

    I've never found one sunk, so I presume they'll always float for as long as their bloated. As DNL said, i'm sure eventually it'd sink. I'd do the rolling can thing over a bait island, the island gives them something to try launching from and they can jump pretty high. I usually catch them dry...

    There are non-toxic rat poisons that aren't actually poison, they just bind them up due to their unique digestive system. Pretty much any of the ones where the main ingredient is corn meal. None of them work in my opinion though, rats get wise to it too quick. Best luck I've had is rotating in...

    Unfortunately, so have the dogs a few times recently... and I relocated one this summer that I trapped. Last nights camera show'd the fox again, and their porcupine friend. Just ordered a dog-proof raccoon trap today (traps their arm when they reach in for bait). Should hopefully thin out that...

    The skunk is the 2nd to last, Coyote the last... they're very faint... need a bright monitor but you can see most of their bodies. Actually looks like its a pretty damn big coyote too... we hear packs of them from time to time. They've called to one of my dogs before too, gotta resolve that...

    Been laid up for a few weeks and just starting to get back on my feet. Put the trail camera up to figure out what's been pillaging the field (down 9 hens since it started). Plan is to sit out in a blind once we get some moon light and resolve the problem. Camera did't help, 4 possible...

    tomatoes are a sensi subject... have a 50' row of beautiful tomato plants... loaded with fruit and toppling my cages... and every tomato so far has had sour rot.

    So long as we don't get another cement-like snow that nearly flattened my greenhouse, or the 3+ foot in one shot that required a bucket loader to dig us out, I'll be happy. The bar is low this year.

    I have a have-a-hart, could try setting it up on the tree line. The tractors are in the middle of the field where up until this year we've never had issues that far away from cover. I suspect a coon too, reckon its gotten brazen. Carcass is going to go in as bait, I have a blind on order now...

    Looks like i'm in the market for a hunting blind... 4th bird in as many weeks ripped from a tractor in the field at night ... and I have meaties that need to go out SOON.

    Oh, and does anyone want a Speckled Sussex rooster? We let him and his 3 siblings just kinda free range around the house since they were all that survived an early hatch... and he just crows all day under the windows while I'm on work calls... she won't let me bump him off but may consider...

    Same deal, just caught up on 5 pages. I have 3 or 4 Halona plants that came back from the dead. I had written them off completely, didn't even go look at that end of the row for 2+ weeks... during which we got that few days of rain, and when I did they were back. I have some good looking fruit...

    We just harvested a mid-season variety of potato (Adirondack Red), they died back completely a week or so ago and we harvested this weekend. That's the harvest-me signal. We left them in a bit to cure. Another, late-season variety, planted in the barrel next to them, is still going. It's taken...

    It's insane how many, 50' row absolutely covered. It occurred to me that there's a butternut farm down the street... Bet that contributes to the population. I've done 3 applications of a sulfer/pyrethrin spray mix back to back, that's cut the numbers down substantially... hoping the sulfer...

    Delicious, I may have jumped the gun with that one... still had a lot of green but still an unbelievable flavor. Giving them another week to fatten up and ripen. I ended up sticking in the freezer to make ice cubes with the melon baller for water. I started them in a seed tray, very slow to...

    That's so simple it makes me feel like a dummy for not just thinking to do that in a pinch. +1 In other news, holy squash bugs. Pumpkins are taking a beating but there's plenty of fruit almost ready. Picked my first watermelon this morning. Little suckers are prolific, have a ton coming in...

    Anyone here work at a Home Depot/Lowes/Agway in Central? Had good luck with a bunch of my own transplants this year with my new greenhouse, but haven't gotten around to a proper compost setup to make my own potting mix. I'd like to stock up when bags go on sale half price or less... hoping...
