How on earth does a person survive living 14 miles from a HomeDepot?!

Its tuff, I'll tell you... I have a tendency to buy the wrong thing and have to halt my project until I can get back to town.

1 mmile from Lowes, and they are getting to know me well.

There are some VERY nice black and white ones out there--but they are show lines and probably cost an arm and a leg. Or more

One arm, two legs, a pint of blood and your firstborn. Firsthatched. Something like that!

I will be there tomorrow. Glad to hear you got the siding up, does this mean I won't recognize your house?/ lol

I hope not. That ply wood looked so bad. I wish that mobile home was gone. I think we are going to pull down the porch and dismantle it. Since we've got so many ussues moving it away, I think we may buy some paint and do a blow and go paint job on it to make it blend in.

I set my eggs today. I almost forgot. They went in around 6

I set about 36.

You put siding on an adobe house!!!

My aunt in New Mexico had a neat old adobe. The last time I was there, they had vinyl siding put on it. I couldn't believe it.

Need advice again. I was going to plat a mature orange tree for shade and food near the turkeys. then I heard that citrus was poison to them...I also heard that alfalfa and clover was poison to them....yet I have a friend who plants alfalfa for both her chickens and ducks to forge in.... when I looked up a list of plants poison to poultry and goats ( have them too), it looked like everything was poison....I am confused.

I'm not sure about the citrus. I know the wild clover that grows here is safe per the tortoise websites, but there are other kinds of clover that are not (probably grow from bulbs). Here is a list - http://russiantortoise.org/edible_plants.htm and it shows which kinds of clover are okay, and pictures of it.
Oh, the person I get my raw goat milk from said their goats eat fallen citrus all of the time, so must not bother them.
