I'm interested in mint, strawberries and raspberries ..... all started - as I mess up seeds very badly !

Metella - I will have strawberries individually potted. Let me know how many and I can do a container for you....

I thought I'd taken a photo the "other day", but it was actually May 2nd.
Here's the SFH - now has more feathers and grown since then.


Hatched 4-3-15

Very nice!

Now I'd be more up to buying more but DD has had a hard time after having the baby. I know she's concerned to be missing a months pay. Her husband is a stay at home dad. She teaches high school. Here in Texas things are crazy.

She can not accept "donated" time until she's had 21 days of unpaid leave.

Anyhow we've been helping out financially and we ourselves are not in the best of positions.

The doc wanted her to go into the hospital because she's been so sick. She of course said no. So we've insisted she do nothing but rest.

The baby is doing good. Nice and pink. She was yellow for a time.

It's been raining here. The GS and I went puddle hopping after dinner. That kid is just full of energy., Lord have mercy!

Anyhow who do Ii owe and how much. You can Pm me with your paypal account.

Who is selling tickets for the auction. and how much? I'd like to buy some and perhaps Luv will choose some things to bid on. I trust her.

I will be missing you all. The 1973 Mother Earth News I have is no consolation in that it just makes me want to be home and gardening. The articles I'm reading on "Home steading " are interesting but it seems not much has changed in 40 years.

Hmmm ... I like the idea of more broodies! Yes, that sounds crazy, but I love 'em. I have one bantam Cochin now, and she's a such sweetie.
When they're great mothers, yet small and don't eat alot, I don't mind keeping them "long-term", even if they don't lay frequently.
I also just hatched out a bunch of bantam Cochin/ large fowl mixes, but it'll be awhile before they're ready to raise any young.

Anything that I'll be bringing interest you for trading?




At least 1/2 of them have white on their face, varying amounts; one's just a little "star", one's a more narrow stripe & two that are pictured with a wide white patch.
I don't know what you're plan is, but I wouldn't breed the ones from this litter together.
I was just "testing" them to see if they were ready to breed, and the doe wasn't cooperating when in with her "dad".
So I put her in with the other buck, thinking she wouldn't take to him either. Wrong! It wasn't until after that, I remembered that they were siblings!
They are adorable, though, and don't show any issues from being closely related, but just wanted to make sure you knew.

$5 each or 2 for $10;

I want 2 of the wide white patch ones

Edited to add a list to make it easier
Tons of hot pepper seedlings (GMO free and organic) also pie pumpkin seedling
Lilac sapling, hosta plants, organic bug balm, well started hop plants potted, elderberry starts

I have mint and strawberries

What type of mint I am looking for mint

Boys ? Girls ? How many ? I will see if he will keep them till may 30 ...if he wont do you want them before that ?

I could do a couple boys but would love a bunch of girls if he won't keep until then I guess I would have to get them early maybe meet you just let me know

How much for 1 pot each of lemon balm, chard, dill, rosemary?
Also how big are the pots, as I want to make sure we'd have room in the car?

I'm also wondering about strawberries - what type of they?

---

There was also someone on here that mentioned awhile ago they might have squash seedlings - what varieties & how much?

Was working out the garden today, so I have plants and seeds on the mind right now!
Finally got some rain, but still kept pulling weeds in the "seeding bed" that mostly sprouted lamb's quarter.
Gave the weeds to the rabbits, as the mothers are so hungry, even though I've been feeding them extra pellets.
Planted more kale, lettuce & carrot seeds. Hooked up the hoses, so I can keep them watered this time so they can germinate.
