Yeah I'm aware of the wait to first harvest. I'm just not seeing anything pop through the ground. Worst case, I'll leave them for a year! They had some mildew on them from sitting damp in plastic, so I'm concerned I may have killed the crowns before planting time! Live and learn!

I thought about you when I bought 4 Khaki Campbell ducks back in early March! They now "decorate" my pond and live in "The Quack House!"

How long does it normally take asparagus crowns to pop up? I planted mine about 3 weeks ago and nothing so far

Hey LG! My 20 CPs and 50 T-posts were delivered this week! Most of the panels will be used for goat fencing, but I should have some left over for a greenhouse or new coop!

LG that is an awesome story! And so true!

I have a BO hen that I'm letting set on 8 eggs. I gave in to her after going broody 3 times in 4 months! I made her a nest in a cardboard box in a crate. She sets on the eggs for 24 hours and takes her break when I open up the coop and feed in the mornings. Problem is, she won't go back to the...

If hubby likes HOT, maybe try ghost peppers. They're hotter than habaneros! I love spicy food, but I've had to tone things down as I've gotten older.

@abigalerose You're going to see a big dip in your utility bill with your roommates gone! Like LG, when my daughter moved out, my utilities dropped $100/month! I recently moved to a much bigger house, and I've been trying all kinds of things to lower utilities. Good luck!

I just couldn't wait any longer! My gardening itch was too strong. I planted some apple seeds my grandson gave me, anise hyssop, valerian, and Angelica. They may never sprout, but I scratched the itch!

I ordered 2 XL heating pads to have along with my regular sized one! I'm getting 25 CXs the end of March, so my regular one just wouldn't do. I also hope to get some ducks, a couple of turkeys, and more hens. Hopefully not all at once!

Whew hoo!

Keep us posted on your aquaponics adventure! Sounds like fun!

Very cute! Congratulations!

Congrats on those eggs! My 3 girls have slowed down, but it's just me, so I don't need many, as long as I curb the baking. It's 11* here this morning. A heat wave here in western MD compared to up north, but it's still cold! My outdoor furnace had burned down to only 80*, since filling it up...

All 3 of my BO hens have good-sized combs.

Now that's terminology I can understand! I'm also "vertically challenged," which makes doing a lot of things difficult. In addition, I have small hands (about the only small part of me!), and most tools are made for "man hands." The tools made for women's hands look like they belong in a toy...

They're gorgeous! My BOs don't look like they have English lines at all, but they're hatchery stock! Fluffo is a dapper fella!

Gosh that's nice Bee!

They're adorable! What kind are they?

Very pretty!
