What did you do in the garden today?
I boiled some expensive black fermented oolong tea from China and mixed in some powdered milk and sugar. I don't like the taste of powdered milk but mixing it with black tea and sugar makes it taste good. I usually make bread with powdered milk and never drink it. I got the idea from the instant... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Now that I got the general taste of it, I conclude that a dark homemade brew of black tea, brown sugar and milk taste a lot better than instant bubble tea without the small, sweetened tapioca balls. The small tapioca jelly balls don't really change the taste other than making it a little sweeter... -

My 7 Red Star male chicks started to baby crow, so I bought a transport cage to process them at 2 to 3 lbs. I have an animal cage with a door on the side which makes it difficult to catch them. The transport cage has a sliding door on top making it easier to catch them. I choose this transport... -
Is this a good incubator?
When I first plugged in my chickcozy incubator I could turn the bars with the check button, but it didn't flip on the timer. It started working after I pulled the turner cable out and put it back in. Maybe your chickcozy is still okay. Also, I tilt the eggs forward as far as it can go around 45...- cj2024

Is this a good incubator?
My chick cozy incubator is still working, I wonder how long it will last. Did your chick cozy incubator burn out? At first, I had to unplug the turner cable and re-plug it back into the top of the incubator for my turner to work. Have you tried that?- cj2024

What did you do in the garden today?
I built this coop with 3 sliding wood doors. At first, I thought it was a good idea, but the birds could fit through the space, so I ended up zip tying chicken wire onto it. I raised 15 Cornish Cross in this coop and butchered them at 2 months old. Their poop falls through the 1 x 1/2-inch... -

One of my Isa brown male chicks bit the back part of my leg as they were following me to the coop and got away with it. I may have hit the wrong guy. -

I got to try this watermelon graft after I figure out how to grow pepper plants in my area. I can grow vine squash in my yard, so I may be able to pull it off. -

It started to get cold at nights in the tropics. This is when my tomato/pepper season starts which is opposite from the mainland. This season, I will only grow 2 Hossinator tomato plants. I still have tomato sauce left over from last season. My goal this season is to figure out how to grow... -

This time around with my Poblano pepper plants, I mixed 3tbs of Garden Tone organic fertilizer, 3tbs of super sweet granular lime and 1tbs of granular iron to one gallon of a 50/50 peat and perlite mix. I put this mix in a 5 gallon grow bag and my Poblano peppers are growing taller in this mix... -

I think the Burpee brand Marconi isn't the 12-inch giant ones I see on YouTube. I get 4-inch ones from my Burpee seeds, so I am trying another company with a picture of bigger peppers as seen below. -
What did you do in the garden today?
Have you tried baking soda and jiffy corn bread mix? I tried this and it worked. I don't have any more rats running around. For your information, don't buy bucket traps they do not work. I bought 2 different types of bucket traps, and they didn't catch anything. -
What did you do in the garden today?
My new neighbor on my right side of my house brought in 4 mature fighting roosters and the neighbor on the right of him complained about the crowing. He told me the cops gave him a warning and a follow up time to be rid of them. Eventually he built a two-story house in his back yard which... -
What did you do in the garden today?
My red star chickens are flighty and don't want to go back in their pen at night. They rather sleep on their coop's roof or tree. However, I found a way to get them all in their coop in the evening. When I let them out to play in the morning, I take away their feeder and put it back in the... -

New Hamshire chickens were developed from Rhode Island Reds though selective breeding for meat production. They selected birds that grew faster, feathered earlier, and had better carcass quality.
