I have some 16x20 shade tarps I had to take down due to the wind gusts. Was fearful they would either break the poles they were attached to or tear at the corners. Apart from that we've had the best weather since March.

Sad to say mine did not survive the summer.

If I could make vinegar, I'd use it for pickling. Seriously, there are two small commercial vinyards up the street from me and behind "the block" from me, understanding that one is 50-60 acres and the other is of unknown size (I've not checked property maps, and not much can be seen from the...

The Muscadine grow wild across my acres - I'm not ripping them out of the trees in most of 30a, or even just the 5a the birds are officially confined to. Though weather was such this year that most of the vines didn't produce. For which I'm not complaining.

Potential dietary imbalance when they are in fruit - its a preferred forage, and its not a great vitamin source for the birds, definitely not a good protein source, either. Mostly sugar, water, some tannins

having lived in FL much of my life, crab grass is something we are well familiar with.

Blame the photographer. If you saw them side by side, there's no comparison (well, not much). But absent other references, the photos can be decieving. One of the easiest ways is to look at the seeds - crab grass has tiny, near invisible seeds held close to the seed stalk. Scribner's Panic...

I have now manually removed it from 4/5ths of my 2 acre pasture, except if some choice spots at the edge of the clays. It will be back next year. Last year, I took piles of the stuff and put it under the RV in hopes some of those bug reppellent properties would help. NO suggestion it was...

My wethered goat, Tan (age approx 6 1/2 months), snacking on goldenrod tops. You can see how the dog fennel can overwhelm other plantings in the background. It has to be manually removed, easiset when the soil is just wet enough, but not too damp. Foreground, middle and left, those funny...

Update - the bunnies LOVE IT! Though the quantity offered needs to be restricted, apparently its a blood thinner. Protein content, for a plant, is decent, and it tends to be high in methionine though very low in lysine, with protein content diminishing as it ages. Also, it tends to...

I've heard of it, but not planted it.

Goats too We have some, volunteers from passing bird droppings it seem. I do not recall successfully planting any of it in one of the mixes I bought. But I am very heavy into numerous clovers which serve much the same purpose. and panic grass? I can't sing its praises enough. Particularly...

then (as a courtesy) I won't take photo of my spinach and cheese stuffed shells in a red sauce made with "italian sausage" which several of my older roosters provided the protein for. Because that would be impolite, as I'm not sharing... Also, I don't do food porn. Have a great evening, and...

Yes. Its a pollen issue, not an allergen issue. Helps turn everything a yellow green which rapidly becomes a grey green on every available surface, including the inside of my nose. In this area, we know it as "Faire Funk" because its often at its peak during Rennaisance Faire season, together...

I've read about it, but not tried it. We aren't really "salad" people, so greens for salads aren't high on our list of things to plant (except arugula, which is a guilty pleasure, and tomato because... if I shared my last name, it would be obvious as the nose on my face). Large leaf greens -...

One of these days, we'll see bok choi seeds for sale at the right time of year AND have a place in the raised beds to plant them. This year, the "winter" bed was full of kale, arugula, leeks, and scallions. The summer bed was already loaded with white onion, purple onion, garlic, more...

On my property, but thanks to my little dinosaurs it is not in the pasture. Red Clover

Yes, horses are far more susceptible to it, but I'm slowly removing it. The dried stalks without the tops do make good mulch when laid out like a rush mat to trap moisture for a raised bed, and also for my bunny's hutch.

I have peaches from a UGA cultivar for our area I hope to spread, in time. We are also trying to add raspberry, loganberry, and next year maybe jostaberry. We are also considering olives, if we can find the right cultivar, and figs. Our efforts with pecan were a complete fail. The wonderful...

I'll leave the typo - was doing speech to text. and I didn't think cherries (of whatever sort) would grow here at all - not enough chill hours - so I was stunned to see it putting out what eventually will be fruit (of some sort). Like my wild blackberry, or my wild grapes, I did not expect...
