    Happy Halloween, and a wonderful start to the weekend for all! Your goats are adorable! I love the second to last photo, especially! No decorations here at all, I’m afraid:hmm

    Oh those are huge! That’s very cool. Hopefully they split this year. I love the varieties you’ve got :love

    Very normal behaviour! It happens when the original plant reaches a large enough size, quite remarkable! Since the new plant is a clone, I don’t know if it can be called reproduction exactly. But yes, it’s another way of furthering their genetic material

    I don’t think so. Most of the family just picks off a few and eats them as is. Even if we could make wine with them, I doubt we have enough for that. The vines we do have, however, supply us with enough leaves to make dolmadakia:drool. Picture from two year ago, Kolovos with one of the vines in...

    Hopefully all 6 of yours will split this year; hopefully even a double! Those are always the best surprise:love

    They’re such odd little plants, it’s hard to know exactly what’s happening! I tried gathering pollen from one plant, storing it somewhere safe and cool until another blooms, and then pollinating it. Unfortunately, it didn’t take. Next year I tried, the plant died before I could collect the...

    Spoke to soon:gig! Or too late, I guess:p. Yeah, same here. I’m a little sad I won’t get to see autumn flowers, but as long as they split during the winter, I’ll be happy

    Thank you! I love these little guys. No pollination, unfortunately. This is the same plant that’s flowering, so unfortunately it doesn’t seem to take pollen from itself (I tried and failed three years ago). Ehh, not entirely. I had high hopes this one would bloom, as it’s my most mature...

    Yup, we definitely have a lot of lemons! Half of the scratches on my back are from those things, doesn’t help that the chickens really like that part of the property. Though not melons, we have grown courgettes here, and some ornamental squash. I wonder if we can grow turmeric. Will need to do...

    Thank you. We already have a few of those. Three pomegranate trees in the area the chickens use, and one or two more further up the slope. Most of the fruit drops to the ground, but the chickens don’t enjoy eating it much (same for fresh pomegranate). Most insects love it though. Three grape...

    Hmm that looks nice. I’m sure it can grow here, but not sure if it will act in an invasive way. Will keep an eye out for it next time I’m at a plant nursery. Thank you. Yes, I’ve tried to keep the blackberries from getting trampled over. No herbivore (or omnivore, if you don’t count dogs) has...

    Love the way the light shines through Glais’ comb in the coop photos :love . Is that a young Cillin in the last photo?

    I tried a bit of planting this year, hopefully it helps a bit. So far, that is one bougainvillea glabra, two larger nerium oleander bushes, two lavenders bushes (not sure which exact species), one myrtus communis bush (which I’m most excited about), and although not yet bushes, but very small...

    Yeah, I thought so too. Out of all the eggs, only one little Araucana egg showed signs of life, but passed at the second candling. Note that they were not under a broody at this point, for multiple reasons, hence why I went ahead and candled. I had placed 10 Tsouloufati eggs in with them, 8 of...

    Same here, I’m pretty sure. It might’ve been over two and a half days before hatching. Three day, maybe? Usually I can hear at least one peep on lockdown day The earliest I’ve heard peeps coming from under a broody was two days before hatching

    I’m so sorry for your loss :hugs . Don’t beat yourself up over it; happens to us all at some point

    Shipping eggs locally is hard enough; Arranging for eggs to be shipped internationally (from a country outside the EU, no less), is something I wouldn’t wish upon my worst enemy. I did have some eggs shipped this year, from a farm about 5-6 hours away. They took almost a week to get here. That...

    That’s putting a lot of trust in me, and the Greek education system :p ! The only thing I can remember being taught about Diogenes in school was when he told Alexander to move out the way Thank you for that laugh:lol:. Diogenes was far too brilliant
