I think we're sooo lucky here because most chicken owners are outside quite a bit. We already know how

I'm outside a lot and have a lot of chickens and ducks. I still feel cooped up even being outside because I can't go anywhere.

Hey, IM. Is there something I can see about getting here and sending to you?

Thanks Meg I was able to get allergy medicine. I'm going to use sourdough instead of yeast to make bread so that's covered. Ironically, we asked our neighbor if they have any yeast they'd trade for eggs. As it turns out the wife thought she was ordering (2)18 packs of TP online but it was 2 cases so I have a line on TP now too How about you, anything I can send?

You're lucky we can't find TP anywhere

We are on the home growing. I haven't used the veg bed for growing much for us for years.. I'll usually end up with a few runner beans, some ornamental squash, and sugar beets for the guinea pigs, plus potatoes my youngest likes to grow. Yesterday I dug over the veg bed, took out a few of last year's potatoes I found and saved them to replant. Dug in home made compost and covered with home made mulch. It's ready for when my young plants are ready to plant out. We are doing sweetcorn, purple sprouting broccoli, turnips, potatoes (already set 2 lots going in planters by the back door), peppers, tomatoes, celeriac, runner beans and I've probably forgot something. I plan to grow alot of veg in the plant pots that haven't been used for years (I've got a fair few). The kids are getting involved in part of their home learning. Also hope for plenty of quail hens for eggs and yes the males will provide meat. We can all try and grow something. The fresh air and sunshine plus doing something positive will do us the world of good. Happy growing.

I'm waiting for my seeds to come in. I got herbs you grow in containers and the veggie seeds I'm unsure what they're sending.

I ordered mine last week so hopefully they will turn up soon. I've got hundreds of seed packets mostly flowers but I'm going to look through them and see what if any veg seeds are in there.

It's your mind telling you you're cooped up because you can't go anywhere. I feel it, a lot of my neighbors do as well. One idea I saw mentioned was to rearrange your home so it doesn't look the same. I'm not especially motivated to deep clean but I do feel a little better now that I've started. I'm also purging more unused stuff we have hanging around. Not a lot of fun, but the days pass quicker and I'm tired from physical labor.

That was luck! I can't find it either. I still have 6 rolls in my closet and a 20 pack unopened but with 5 people that might go quick.

There are lots of comments on the web about Covid-19, some right out on the lunatic fringe and some a bit more balanced. I liked this offering.

Wait, doesn't the room say corona virus, covid 19 virus discussion? I saw nothing in the description for this forum that said, comfort, consolation, support.

It's flexible. If you want to discuss hyenas, throw it out there!
