Some recent winter garden pictures.

Wow, seriously !! Do you plant the sweet potato or just keep it for the plant? If you plant it how many do ou get in return? We let our golden potatoes start to sprout then cut them up into 1/4's.. We harvested about 3-4 out of one so far..

2 of my neighbors said they would allow us to
start our Bee Hive colony in their back yard..

So if anyone has any equipment they no longer use please let us know, we would love to start collecting.

I have several beehives, a smoker, a hive tool and a hood you can have. In exchange for some honey down the road, of course!

Since my wife is adamantly opposed to having a hive, I'll let them go to youu. I still really, really want one, though.

. Oh Yeehaa !! You got yourself a deal.. Can I have my friend Eva pick the stuff up? They live by you.. They came to your
Potluck last year.. I am hoping to also get more honey from Bill.. I will see what here schedule is soon & get back to you..
Thank you so much.. Blessing from above

I will send you my cell#.. Along with our email.. I have a photo of the container on my phone..
Demo might add to the info he finds.. He is so good at that!!

Thanks for the compliments. I haven't checked in to that, but if you don't mind sending me that picture, I'd appreciate it. The more we can do for her, the better.

We spent the better part of today installing the tankless water heater. We have the gas line run, but we have to have Southwest Gas tie it in to the meter. We have to re-pipe the plumbing and run the vent. It's been a good deal of work, but thankfully my Uncle has the pipe threader to make it far easier than doing it manually. It sucks having no hot water!

Actually, I sent the photo to your dear wife.. She got it & said she would get it to you. My cell phone only works 1/2 the time...
For some reason my phone "seriously" decides to add or edit on its own.. Along with my iPad. It changed or I should say added
a contact without me doing it.. So freaky!!!
So with that said in your families contact info all I have is her #.. Your email/ postal address is gone.. I am working on the old school
hand written phone book..

Can someone plz answer my question? " So I have 2 bantam pairs both of my roosters are mating with the hens but none of the hens are laying eggs??

If then hens are old enough to lay try putting a light in their coop as their laying cycle does vary with the hours of daylight, which is less in the winter.

I did this my flock of layers and they went from 1 egg to 8 or 9 a day.

Worth a try for the cost of a 60 watt light bulb and some time to hang it.

I will def. try that how many hours should I leave it on?? Thanks

Hoping I wake up to peepers. Have 3 silkie, 5 BCM and 4 EE eggs due tomorrow. Just put in 18 purebred Ameraucana from show quality stock from Padilla's Peeps for me and a large number (forgot to count!) Muscovy eggs for a friend. Collecting more BCM eggs and just put my EE boy Earl Grey in with his half sister and a purebred blue Ameraucana. I don't want to hatch a bunch of theirs, just a few. Have been working on a little silkie coop, 40x48" two floors, entirely recycled materials, almost done. Plan on doing about 4 of these so I can have broody silkies raise all my babies ;-) Progress pictures are on my blog, link in my signature line. The only problem is out of 8 silkies only 3 are hens with one more I"m not sure of yet. I didn't get pics of most of the girls today; just the boys. Snowman Smokey Precious Mr. No Name Snowman & Smokey are the boys that Mandy gave me. Precious & No Name I won in a raffle at the Tucson poultry show. Still not sure if Precious is a boy or a girl.

Precious looks like a girl.. Hopefully Sonoran will chim in.. If I am right I will have a high self esteem day...
