Bananas passed their prime and sat in the fridge for a couple days, and a cute new Bundt pan to boot? Perfect time for banana bread 😋

I bought this Euphorbia candelabrum when it was 3 inches tall in a 2 inch pot. This friend has moved houses with me (carefully!) now 4 times.

Just one of my many orchids. Hard to keep these happy on a desert, but it's been with me for 5 years now.

Crushed velvet baby narwhal plushies with their giant silver stingray plushy pillow friend I call the "Bling Ray".

The view from the chicken coop looking up the hill toward my grape vines

Pickled Red Onions Red Onions, ACV, tangerine juice, lime juice, water, salt, peppercorns, mustard seeds Can't wait to put these on fish tacos!

Emperor Peepatine, Cornish X

100% home grown pickles - everything in the jar came from my garden except the salt: Cucumbers, fresh dill, dill seed, celery seed, coriander seed, cayenne chili pepper, onion scapes, bay leaf, grape leaves.

How worried should I be? Went in yesterday to find 4 of my babies had figured out how to escape their enclosure, and at least one (but likely all) of them had found and pecked out a serious chunk of furniture foam. No bits of it to be found, so I have to assume they ate it. Is there anything I...

Yeah I was really hoping to get a few years of taking care of laying hens under my belt before attempting to raise my own meat birds and take the next step toward self sufficiency. At some point I'd like to be able to take more responsibility for the meat I eat, I was just not thinking it would...

My brother kept a meat bird with his free range layers and it was healthy until a predator got it. I have the same issue with my first little 6 bird flock - was sold a Cornish X but told it was a Buff Orpington. He told me to just not free feed her with the test of the birds, and let her forage...

That's just not how I roll with animals. It never has been and it never will be. If it comes to it, I'll buck up and do the deed. If anyone is going to eat my Peepatine, it's going to be me.

Yeah, I'm trying to be less annoyed than I am. It's just my HOA has a limit to the number of backyard chickens we can have at 6, and I really wanted a buff orpington in my little flock. It doesn't help that I went to tractor supply today to pick up crumbles and there were a bunch of little buff...

Yeah our coop and run design is going to be entirely different than we were planning! That's a little annoying tbh but it's better that we haven't actually cut any wood yet. I think the trick is going to be how to make it so the layers can eat when they want but Emperor Peepatine can't see them...

I'm in California, in wine country

I'll hop on over to the other thread, thanks! But to answer your question, she will be sort-of free ranging. I can't let them I to my entire garden for multiple reasons, but their run will be very large and be house under a mulberry tree with my compost system. So, lots of bugs and weeds to...
