    What did you treat your garlic with? I ordered a TON of music and plan on planting tomorrow.

    Yeah, they're a HUGE problem here in SW Michigan. I collect the ones I can in a mason jar and dump them in the run every day. One a couple of my girls will eat them and (thankfully) my boys do. Most of the hens think they're gross, tho. I agree!

    Saddened today. My neighbors did have a rooster in their hatch. It was fun to hear him practicing his crow at my two boys. Saturday, they let their birds out to free range and didn't return until 11 pm to lock them up. The rooster and one hen were gone. I'm thinking it was taken by a racoon. I...

    Well, I guess that just means I need more hens so I can keep them both 🤭

    If you want a rooster I have a good boy who could use a home. Absolutely nothing wrong with him, just having two is overloading my hens.

    Southwest corner of the state here. We had major drought this summer, but it's finally been rainy the last two weeks. Our leaves are for the most part still green.

    I'm in a pretty light-polluted area, too. We get lots from Chicago. Look for dark sky parks around Michigan, I know there is one near Lansing and one near Howell. Busy season is here, she will be more active now and again in March. You can sign up for alerts on https://michiganaurorachasers.com/

    Anyone catch the northern lights on the 14th? This is just south of Coloma/Watervliet.

    My boys have very big wattles, so if they dip their wattles in anything, they're bound to get frostbite, so I wanted something different than a dip. I do currently have the cups on a 5 gallon bucket and I love them for the summer.

    Woke up to pouring rain this morning. So glad I watered the garden last night 😅 I'm switching the bird's water over from the cups (on a 5 gal bucket) to the metal nipple waterers. I foresee an afternoon of teaching my birds how to use it. Anybody have good results here with using them in the...

    Everything! I sprinkle it on eggs, meat, add to rice while cooking. I can even use it in place of paste, if I take about a tablespoon and add water to it.

    Someone had asked about tomato powder. I finally got around to it today. The skins did well, but I prefer to do the tomatoes whole, I think. The dehydrator was at 125° for about 10 hours.

    That's the Cane Toad in Florida! And the Manchneel Tree will kill you, too. It's so interesting to me that Florida is so wild. Also, the Gumbo Limbo (nicknamed the Tourist Tree by locals) isn't toxic, but looks crazy! Don't eat random fruit in Florida!!

    Next spring, hang fake wasp nests around your property. It will deter wasps and hornets, because they are Territorial creatures.

    Definitely learning about that here as well. 4 years ago when we moved in, we had wasps and hornets covering the front of our house in the spring. I did, at the time, use spray to kill them. The next year, I made sure to knock down any nests that were too close (not with chemicals, but by hand...
