Arizona Chickens

[Sonoran Silkies]

State fairgrounds. Enter on 17th Avenue off of McDowell. We are in the Home Arts building: immediately south (to the right of, as you are facing it) of the lime green building that will be off to your left. After you come past the parking booths, you will have to make almost a u-turn. Parking costs $7. When the fair is going on, I have parked along the street on 17th south of McDowell with no problems. But it is not the best part of town, so...

Pastry Mama, tell them you are a vendor to the poultry show--vendors are supposed to get in free, and with your girl scout cookies...I would consider you a vendor.

Do Moringa trees survive the winters in Tucson?? Everything I have been reading says they are extremely cold sensitive. I have a place in mind with shelter on the north side and can build some sort of a rock or block heat sink. Do you think they will winter well in Congress??

Has anyone here had experience growing Goji berries??

 

[Mahonri]

All good plans go awry. Won't make it to the chicken show.

SHUCKS!!

Never place a T-shirt order after taking Nyquil!

See ya'll at the show!

I haven't planted my moringa seeds yet, so I'm not sure if they will or not. Pimachickens sprouted hers before the winter, so maybe she can answer that. I tried growing Goji berries. It was relatively easy to get them started. I cut the berries into pieces, put them into a damp paper towel and placed that into a ziploc bag. My problem was that they never really did much after that. They grew to be about a foot tall and were very wimpy looking. They eventually died in the heat after a few months. I have to say though, I never gave them the best growing conditions and I severely neglected them. I didn't yet have my garden going and I'll bet they would do much better in good fertile soil. Now that you mention it, I think I might try again.

Fuzzy Grats on the incubator. Does that mean you will be joining Mahonris 3rd-annual Easter-hatch-a-long ??

I am suppoised to get my eggs today from aurorarose. I can't leave the eggs long enough to join in. Wish I could. I am not getting that many eggs either.
