Morning

Thanks for the coffee. Looks like we may have dodged Stella's punch.

 

[Tumbling K]

that would be a bonus.......
need to hear from sir Sour........

 

[WVduckchick]

Apparently she is wrapping back around later, so we may not have missed it all yet.

Sour said they were stocked up and ready, hope they don't get hit too hard.

Hope everyone in the path of this one stays safe.

Mornin' friends, been MIA for a couple days but all caught up now.

That puppy! You're killing me with cuteness!

Unfortunately, I am in the middle of the mess of a blizzard here in Massachusetts and to make matters worse my first chicks shipped out yesterday from Meyers. I was hoping they would arrive this morning but so far nothing. My post office gets their deliveries at 5:15am and 7:30am and its almost 9:00am now so it looks like it will be at least another day. REally worried with this blizzard and all and I hope my 16 chickie babies make it.

Love all the garden talk. My dh makes a very small garden each year and Im trying to convince him to go big this year. He just bought bee frames so he might be focusing his efforts on that this year instead. But now I'm craving fresh peas!

We are all snug as a bug for the storm. I'm watching my sisters dog while she is in europe for 10 days so we have the snake, the two fish bowls, three dogs and I was hoping for 16 chickens but hopefully tomorrow all cozy and waiting out the storm. But you betcha if the post office calls I'll be braving the snow and wind to pick up my chicks.

Have a great day all and thanks for the coffee<3

Morning! Thanks for the coffee. School ski day here but DS$ is not cleared for that so he gets to sleep in and then help me clean the horse paddock if the wind would ever calm down. I call it cross- training.....
So they named the storm "Stella".?..... I have visions of the Seinfeld episode running through my head now.

Weird day here yesterday. I almost was going to have to deal with 2 completely wild mustangs (possibly pregnant ), except for being raised in a holding area all of their lives, but managed to come to a better plan with a neighbor that wants to work with horses. Not that I don't feel for the horses, but with our snow season starting and having two not even close to halter broke dumped here and me being the "horse expert" on the ranch, this girl was as close to having a panic attack as I get. Anyway, she did listen to my worries about the situation and I said that if it is just a matter of her wanting to spend time with an equine, I have a horse that sure could use a friend..... Thank the heavens above for that last minute free horse thrown on the trailer! She is worth her weight in gold apparently....

Fingers crossed for your chickies, Merry!

hoping for the best for you chicks........

our garden this year will be mostly raised beds. I cam across a deal last year, for retaining wall blocks, and used those to build 5 raised beds, that are about 3.5'x8' long......I already had built two 4'x4' raised beds, and two 4'x8' raised beds from rough cut 2"x6" cedar, plus the four tire planters in the greenhouse and six of the large plastic mineral tubs for cattle......

the only thing I will be putting in the ground this year, will be three different types of okra, and a first for us, kikinda gourds.

right now, have all of the raised beds growing bush and pole beans and pickling, and eating cukes, and the squash are in the mineral tubs.

this weekend, I will build a gourd tunnel, for the kikinda's, and plant them.....provided the weather cooperates.

we got lucky this year, I hope, with a mild winter, and early spring......oh yeah, need to get my trellises up for all the cukes and pole beans.

dangit, need to finish a new raised bed, built from salvaged cinder blocks, concrete n the holes, dirt and compost to fill, this one is 5'x8'.

X 2!!

Good morning everyone.

howdy Friday.

How are you building your tunnel - cattle panels?

 

[Tumbling K]

How are you building your tunnel - cattle panels?

seems like it would be the easiest, and cheapest......two cattle panels, and 6 t posts.......already have the t posts, and one cattle panel.....

I think I am going to try that too, and maybe fence the garden in hog panels so I can trellis on them as well.
