    What did you do in the garden today?

    Got the fence finished, finally. Gate is now hung as well (pics are on my phone and I'm at work...shhhhh). Now, I've got an 11x28 spot that I have to get all the grass cleared from. My kids are NOT as excited about all of this as I am. I've got some herbs, tomatoes, lettuce, squash...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Got the fence up and finished. Husband built gate, but it'll need to be reengineered due to it being so heavy. I'll put more pics up as soon as the gate is hung. Oh, Great Dane for scale. ;)

    What did you do in the garden today?

    We started getting the fence up for the large garden. They girls have had way too much fun in my planter boxes off the patio so we decided to just enclose the side yard and be done with it. We will finish up with getting the slats and wire up today, and my husband will work on building my gate...

    Fruits?

    I did see some rather large varieties of various berries at one of my local Home Depot stores yesterday. Even better, they were on a 'clearance rack' because of the cold snap here and were pretty cheap. Not sure where you are geographically, but we are in San Antonio, and we do get a lot of...

    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    Morning- This is my first go-round with hens. I got 4 back in August, and they are happy little ladies... We are in San Antonio, and the last couple of days have been rather chilly - lows in the high teens and twenties and highs in the 30s. I honestly expected them to "take those days off" due...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Welp, despite my valiant attempt to cover everything I thought was vulnerable for our "freeze" here in San Antonio at the beginning of the week....only my small herbs survived. I lost my squash, tomato, ALL of my basil, and a purple bell pepper plant that I had been nursing along for quite a...

    Bee’s in the chicken feed – should I worry?

    Glad I found this thread! I was thinking/hoping that it was maybe molasses (used as a binder in the pellets) in there that attracted them. I'll have to look for something soy free next time I shop for feed. It just seems bizarre to me that, at this time of year, there are SO MANY in the...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Hi lazy - I'm in San Antonio. We've had highs pretty consistently in the 70s-low 80s up until last week. Its been plenty warm for her to be doin' her job, and I've got the plastic ready to go for the weekend to make sure she doesn't croak on me. She's been in the ground all summer/fall and...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Hi everyone - Let's see - it's been busy.... My cucumbers never took off - the (what was supposed to be a dwarf) squash took over that planter box and choked them out, we've had one "freeze" here in San Antonio, and she's still kicking. Still getting yellow squash off of her that actually...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Was a busy weekend here - got all my bulbs planted (200 this year), ripped out a bush that was overtaking some stuff in the front yard. Planted a banana tree (we are in San Antonio, so it's still in the high 80's - low 90's), and had to cut back some of my cucumber and squash plants. I missed...

    Morning everyone - I'm new to this thread, but I love it - 500+ pages is a ton to read through, but SO.MANY.AWESOME.IDEAS.!!!! We hit the San Antonio Home and Garden show yesterday, I got some herbs there and got them in the ground in what I've decided I'm calling my Kitchen Garden . We've got...

    Good Afternoon!

    Good morning - I think he was just as surprised as we were that she had died. Plus, at the end of the day - he is a business, so I'm sure that he was worried about reputation. Cheers- Alexis

    Good Afternoon!

    Hi everyone! I'm Alexis and I've been lurking a long time, but since we've finally made the leap and purchased 3 laying hens this weekend, I figured I'd make myself official. I've wanted hens for a while, just had to have a the right space for them. We finally had a yard that would support...
