Wheat grass is the only thing I've been able to grow reliably and that is in containers. We don't have any topsoil so we have to buy all the soil for a garden, that is also expensive but I would definitely like to grow more! I've tried moringas twice but they wouldn't take. I'm going to try...
We are in the desert and the ground is just empty dirt so there's nothing for them to forage. In addition to their feed pellets we give them fresh or frozen fruits and vegetables nearly every day: spinach, kale, broccoli, wheat grass, corn, peas, blueberries, cantaloupe, etc. Keeping chickens in...
Ack! 59° and raining hard with thunder and lightning at 3:00 P.M. 😬 The dogs are under my desk.

Thanks! :hugs We currently have the flock separated into four pens: one group of three (the biggest bullies, including the alpha), another group of three (sisters who basically get along with each other), one hen who has to live on her own because she was being bullied so badly no one would let...

I wish shop had included auto mechanics but it was wood working. You picked a few...
74° at 1:00 P.M. The wind is picking up and clouds are slowly coming in and the Tour doesn't close until 4:30 P.M. The forecast still says rain isn't expected until 5:00.🤞
We always need rain in the desert but wait just a little longer, please! Not everyone out there is a hard core cyclist...
59° and clear with 61% humidity (yay!) at midnight.
High today of 73° for the annual Tour de Tucson bicycle race. Might rain in the evening but the event should be over before then.
On a related note, they just opened a one-of-a-kind 250-meter Olympic standard 42-degree banked aluminum...
