a good idea for anyone and everyone is to have the local health department test for lead. They do the test for free and give a ton of information to help with knowledge. My 2 youngest kids ended up with lead poisoning in 2012 and it's no joke. The state is good about helping though.

if you do keep us posted.

get the clear plastic totes from Walmart and use them as a greenhouse inside your coops. I do that and the white Chinese food boxes with the clear lids. The little ones I put right in the brooder for the heat. The plants love it.

buckwheat honey is good for cooking and cold syrup.

We have 2 places we get Honey and both are affordable. Both also carry several types.

I did start my greens today though. And I'm also making a hanging spinach rack to put in my barn. Right now it stays in the 40s so I should be able to get some great spinach.

I don't even know if we have any maples. Would be great though. We love fresh maple. I guess with all we have going on it would be more simple to just buy local though, like we do honey.

For my own flock and garden I have it in a rectangular shape yet spread out a bit. My barn is about 200 feet from my garden which has a 100 foot berry line going up hill from the top edge. Then from there starts the apple row and the wooded area. Up top from that is our corn field and cow...

Gateway to insanity!! We are moving on to rabbits, cows, ducks and goats over the next 3 years. Chickens are EVIL

Hmmmm!!! Do yall think it would be possible to use my chicks brooder and heat lamp for my vegetable starts? I have trays and covers that the chicks can't get into but light and heat will pass just fine. I REALLY want fresh vegetables and don't have the patience to wait.

We (my 10 year old daughter and i) are starting 4 flats Saturday. All of our "slow grow" plants are going in and then the following weekend we will start our cold frame "cold rooted" plants like spinach and kale. There is no time better than now to start.

I try my best to plant way more of everything than we actually need so that I can donate a lot of it to people (mostly families at the school my kids attend) who otherwise can't afford fresh food. We plant everything we can get seeds for even if we don't eat it. Plus we will be selling extras...

depending on where they come from they are "sweet 100"

I love those.

I don't want to know who it was , that would be embarrassing.
