I have a Wonderful, and it is wonderful. I've trimmed it into a kind of multi-branched tree. The past two years have been disappointing--last year, the fruit was overtaken with some sort of sapsucker invasion, and this year, many fruit but they've all split. The splitting is usually due to watering irregularities. I'm going to fill my yard with pomegranates eventually, I love the drought tolerance, the versatility, and of course, the fruit.
aloha, sorry about the theft! Those sussex you posted are gorgeous! And very cute chicks!
Everything is good here in my chicken world. Remember my garden bench/sink/processing station? Well, the bottom half is now a part time brooder, part time garden storage. I'm not quite finished with the brooder. I wanted everything to be free, but I ran out of scraps. I need 4 hinges, 8 joiners, and a couple of 1x4 boards. STill hoping to keep the cost under $20. I'll post picts when I'm done. Looks like the meaties will have to spend some time in a cardboard box.
Oh, speaking of cardboard brooders--when I was looking for plastic cardboard, I came across this brooder, the Backyard Brooder Box. http://www.amazon.com/High-Country-Back-Yard-Brooder/dp/B00A2YU5SG I bought it, based on the thought that it was waxed cardboard. I have no idea why I thought this, on further reading there is no mention of it. It's not, it's just plain cardboard--don't even bother wasting your money-- even though I got it for 50% off, shipping was $$. With all of the boxes I've gotten from online xmas ordering, I'm such a fool!!!!!
Also ordered and received the brinsea ecoglow heater. Huge weight off my mind--no worries that I'm going to burn the house down heating those broiler chicks. Got a big of Big Sky broiler starter fermenting. I think I'll all ready for their delivery at the end of the week.
