    Bold Bobcat

    Hi We are having issues with a bobcat who is hunting mid day in our yard. He is probably rather used to people as we have seen him 3 times in the past couple of weeks. He has 2x jumped in from the neighbors 6 foot wooden fence in plan view from a major street complete with big trucks and...

    Outdoor Surveillance Cameras

    On Monday, mom let the hens and our very antique rooster out to free range as usual. A few hours later I went down in the lower garden to get the wheelbarrow and discovered the first hen dead. By the time we were done counting we only had one very scared young hen left and the very old hen...

    Run Wire; inside or outside of the frame, your thoughts

    I would love to hear your thoughts on the wire. I am running the whole run walls in aviary wire with the lower 24" in hardware cloth as well. The chickens would almost never be kept with the doors to their secure coop left open to this run. But we do have regular visitors of raccoon and...

    How old is your oldest chicken?

    How old is your oldest chicken? How old is the oldest one you ever had? Our good old rooster is really slowing down, napping on the job regularly, he is good old guy but I am afraid he is not going to be around too much longer. We don't know his actual age, but my son's don't remember...

    We planted our onions in the fall, in SoCal, they have long been up and green. When do we harvest fall onions? I noticed a couple of the transplanted ones are making heads to bloom so was going to get those up. Any onion tips or hints?

    Parents friends

    What do you do? My mom (in her late 80s) has a friend that I do not enjoy (friend is probably 10 years older than me). She is nosy, only hears one word you say and then spins it in to wild stories, gossips those stories to the rest of moms circle of friends and who knows who else. She...

    Roses

    I am hooked, okay probably stuck on the thorn, but I would love to hear/see your rose gardens. I went to a pruning class and found some really nice roses, more my style than some I have seen before. Unfortunately, the one I like the most, the nursery could not get in this year. Never fear...

    Rotating crops in the back yard garden

    Here in SoCal, our peppers over winter pretty well. We have left them the past 2 years, but should I rotate them-thinking of digging the root ball up and transplanting them to a new location Or should I let them be and just rotate the other veggies? The plants are pretty big, they did well...

    Inflatable Christmas (or other holiday) yard decor

    I know a few of you all love them, But WHY? I don't get it, one friends front yard looks like a nylon massacre during the day (and a tacky Home Depot display at night-he works there and I think got a deal on one or 10 of everything they sell) I don't get it.

    how far can a Raccoon jump?

    We have a pair of raccoons that visit moms place. My thought is that they live in the neighbors garage (very old horse and carriage barn), they jump the fence, find their way around moms house and over a corner in the picket fence heading down the street. Thankfully, our coop has been secure...

    Things I just don't get

    Under the "things I just don't get" category: Why do people want brownies with crispy corners? (Can you tell I have been looking at the cyber sale ads) What do you "Not get"? And why crispy corners on brownies? I avoid the "edge" cuts.

    Keep out signs

    Do any of you have some ideas for some friendly "keep out" "no trespassing" or "private property" signs that I could hand paint? I need to word them so the neighbors are not offended and we sound neighborly, but still let "friends" know that before they trespass and steal all the fruit that it...

    Holiday Barn photos

    We just added barn style doors to our vintage "garage" (turn of last century) So now I am thinking of how to decorate those doors for Christmas, do you have photos to share of yours? And just when did fall become "past season"? All I can find is Christmas and a few fall things on deep...
