Yep! Rainwater is soft with a lower ph and loaded with nutrients. It's like a 100% natural liquid fertilizer.

I started a bunch of seeds back in November and December and have begun transplanting them....broccoli, cauliflower, and kale so far. My broccoli has taken to the transplanting pretty well, but only one of my cauliflower survived and the kale seems to prefer pots to garden. I'm waiting a bit...

:lau Those wasps are a tad bit smaller than turkeys, aren't they? Scarier...to me anyways, but smaller.

Welcome! New Mexico is right next door so you fit in here just fine. :) I've been told by a couple people that turkeys LOVE those caterpillars and will pluck them off without consuming the plants. That's just reinforcing my desire to start raising some Midget Whites and I just might have to...

The chickens helped me a lot with caterpillar control, as well as grasshopper and beetle control. They enjoyed the protein, and I enjoyed saving my plants. I also have a young roadrunner living in my front yard who's adopted me. He actually jumps up onto the windowsill to let me know he's...

I'm about to allow my chickens to re-graze the pasture area I planted for them. It takes them about 3 hours to completely decimate the area, which is planted with alfalfa, clover, radish, broccoli and some surprise okra and cherry tomato plants that sprouted from seeds the chickens must have...

Just wonderin'....Does anyone have their winter garden up and running? If so, what's in your garden?

That turned out great!!!! My zucchini plant is a monster! The leaves are the size of dinner plates and the first male buds have emerged. I'm really hoping for a decent crop this year so I can make lots of zoodles. We're constantly trying to improve our eating habits, and often still order...

I'm thinking of planting okra, black-eyed peas, Armenian cucumbers, amaranth and quinoa. All are supposed to love the heat, so why not?

Yep! Summer in AZ makes hell look like a nice, refreshing vacation spot. :D

Oh, wow! That's brilliant! Thank you! A good friend of ours drinks four liters of soda per day, so I've got a constant supplier for the bottles. :)

If she's just beginning to turn broody, yes. What I see in my girls is they continue to lay for a few days while becoming broody, but the eggs size begins to diminish noticeably. Then, WHAMMO! The fluffing up, growling, touch me and my clutch at your own risk increases to epic levels and you...

So it turns out that the local bird population really likes newly sprouted Moringa trees/seeds. *Sigh* Time to rethink how I plant these darn things.

So far this year I haven't had much time to devote to gardening and only recently got back into it again. My husband helped me plant two Wonderful Pomegranate trees which are doing surprisingly well and will hopefully provide some much needed shade for my chickens, and fruit for us. I just...

As someone born with a black thumb who continues to struggle to turn it green, I can confidently say that Rosemary and Basil grow well here with minimal maintenance. When I transplant a young Rosemary plant, I deep water 1-2 times per week until it really takes root. Then I only water when the...

What do you use for your water storage tanks? IBC? Galvanized metal cisterns? Inquiring minds want to know.
