calling any one from missouri

[jeria]

We just started getting some sprinkles here a few minutes ago. They are calling for rain and possible thunderstorms tonight.

I would love love more rain. Maybe we will get lucky. Didn't watch the weather.

The last bag I got was get Nutrena 18% All Flock. I've not tried it yet, been using Country Lane which I think is an Orschelns brand.

Nutrena from orcheln is what I feed my duckies. I think the country lane is a lower protein.
They have done excellent on the nutrena.

Rain!!! Slow light rain!! We need it so badly. That Tonganoxie split has sent it all north or south of us. Was out trying to work on my raised beds yesterday and the ground was so dry, I couldn't even pull out creeping Charlie to toss in the coop. course that crud starts growing before anything else is green.. At least the chickens like it.

Creeping Chariie, so that's what it's called. And the similar one is henbit.I just looked them up, both have almost identical purple flowers, leaves are different... But henbit is an annual, and creeping Charlie a perennial.
No rain here, sunny all afternoon.

They have both 16% and 18% protein in both brands at our local Orscheln.

I just moved my youngsters out of the house, and what a relief...I'm in that 'never again' mode!

Everyone enjoy tomorrow I'm hoping I can let the chickens out in the yard again tomorrow. I am dog sitting for the grand and great grand dogs for a few days. So I have an old lady medium sized mutt and a 9 month mastiff/American bull dog mix along with my insane 2. Hope for a nice steady rain on Sunday, unlike many of you we need rain very badly.

Looking forward to the warm spell late next week as I have a 4 day weekend. Hoping my neck eases up so I can work on my yard and get a bed of greens started, a new asparagus bed planted and start some potatoes and sweet potatoes. Would work on the coop but getting the yard and gardens in are timing sensitive.

Trying to figure out how to scrounge the materials and where to start a small hugel **** garden, blank on the whole name.

I am hoping to get some seeds started in the basement in the next week. Last time I planted seeds directly in the garden and the heavy rains washed them away. Then I want to start building my hugelkulture (?). I've got some long skinny trees that I pulled out along the edge of the septic pond -- I am going to put those into my deep mud trenches where I had my truck stuck. Then I'll build on those. I'll have to get soil delivered though...

I feed all of my birds the Country Lane All Flock from Orscheln's also. It's a 16% crumble. They run out of it fairly often though and end up getting the Nutrena All Flock 18% pellets. Lately I've been getting extra bags and let them ride around in the truck until I need it. I am not concerned with the protein percentages though as they get a lot of extras and free ranging for insects. They seem to prefer the crumbles.

If you like the Nutrena brand better, Orscheln's usually has coupons near the register. The Country Lane you might find coupons in the chick days pamphlets -- they had them last year.
