Morning all. Laundry is also my chore for the day too @Wee Farmer Sarah. :barnie My worst chore. Funny thing is when I was a kid outside chores were the worst. My 14 year old owed me $5. I made her pull all those dead flowers from the summer flower beds. We start walking that way and she is like...
So quick question.....can I put my dead perennial flower stems in my compost? I see y'all put your veggies when you pull then just did not know about flowers.
Good morning all. Seems y'all have been quite busy. Those fall pics have been so beautiful. It sure does not get that pretty here. Between taking care of work, family, chickens, and garden i have been a busy beaver lately. Went to a chicken swap last weekend and got my daughter 2 pullets to...
Good morning all. Been busy trying to catch up in here since last night. @igorsMistress have a good day today whatever you have planned with your extra time. Temps have been super nice here. Think I am going to replant the seeds I list due to planting before a hurricane. My coop is where all my...
Oh my goodness trying to catch up and keep up wasn't easy. @igorsMistress I'm so so sorry to hear about your Nn.
I have been making a real push on getting my coop finished so the birds could go out. We did get the vents in and the coop itself secured so they are finally outside. Still work to...
Hi all. Been busy this weekend. Did get my pepper jelly made. Ran short on sweet peppers and had to go out and pick more jalapeños. I like hot anyway. I finished and tasted it, and oh my it was oh so so hot. Added a bit more sugar to try and help. It is still hot, but I like it. All my jars...
Been busy cleaning my two brooder boxes and get that whole room back in order today. Chicks are 4 weeks now and got to spend the whole day outside while I got their room in order. Also worked on their coop. I keep getting new ideas for it as I go soooo another trip to the supply store I go. I...
Afternoon all. Been crazy busy at work since the storm. Then chicks and dinner keeping me busy in the evenings. Starting some garlic sprouting to grow soon. @NightingaleJen my seedlings actually look like they are going to be ok. Hoping the actual seeds are ok too. @NewBoots that kitten is...
I dont eat breakfast either just my girls. Everyone makes such good sounding food in here for sure. Even the hot sauce makes me think of sour cream with fresh fried chips and hot sauce.
Thanks for the info @NewBoots and @Sueby. Don't have compost and the hubs is not going to be too happy to hear i am starting one. He thinks I am going through a mid life crisis because I want better food grown at our house at it is. Between the chickens and gardening he has been very...
Back to work today. Boo. Been raining here so much I will be shocked if my seeds i planted produce. We are about to get the raised beds going and I am wondering about the soil. We will be using topsoil, and I am mixing in worm casting. What else should I add? Also if I am using pine shaving in...
Evening all. Been without tv, internet (including phone data) since sally cane through. Thankfully we only lost a little power here. Tree is uprooted leaning on the garage not sure what to do about that right now. Had my newly pla.ted seedling and seeds covered as best as I could. Hoping all the...
I am in lower Alabama. I added to my profile too. Thankfully for us the tide did go down some so when it comes back up we should be OK. It has been raining since last night. I think that will not be stopping until late Wednesday. Winds are sure picking up now. Feels really nice outside though...
@Sueby That is so funny to see them in line like that. Adorable and funny. Love your coop too. Can't wait to finish mine. Though it won't be as nice as yours and a lot of others. I am definitely ok with that. Hearing multiple stories of how funny all y'alls chickens are with their nesting boxes...
