Cross Continental Friends!!!

Huh!
It was a mere 99 degrees (37 and a bit) today. A grand start to summer! Not much of a run up, either, just nice spring weather to this, quick, quick!! My pretty tomatillo laid down to rest so I will stake it up tomorrow. I got artichokes and a few more peppers today at work. Artichokes are very rare in the area just now as is okra, strawberries, and Serrano peppers. I have waiting lists I carry for certain vegetable plants, can you imagine? And we actually sell starts of such things as bean plants and corn! There is a reason 2 year old children are given the bean seeds to plant, any idiot can do it, the roots are sensitive, and it's pretty much always successful. And corn? Who buys corn starts!?!
Uh oh, venting again, sorry...
Anyway, I have to go put the babies to bed. I think that the older chickens pinch the younger ones so they are scared to go in, silly babies!
Hubby is engrossed in The Avengers. I missed the beginning so am ignoring it as hard as I can.

Feeling much more peaceful this evening

Glad you're feeling better about things!

I'm off to Raleigh today, my sister is coming in from New Mexico so I will be spending the day with her, my Dad, my Sister in Law and neices and nephews. Tomorrow is Kentucky Derby day, so I will be having some people over for Mint Juleps and shenanigans. Roping and selling chicks on Sunday after church. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

. They are a mint cocktail that was invented by the aristocrats of the deep south before the civil war they have become a staple during the week of the Kentucky derby... Mint juleps and fancy hats... Lol

Hey bill I sourced some 18 % layer feed today down south by the border with panama fish meal and cane sugar pulp

finally, you can start to feed your animals with something who increase mass

don't going over the 8% of dried pulp of sugar, maybe you can use it on little doses in some wet mash, milled as a flour

also fish meal got to be mixed in the feed very well, always dry, and not over the 15%, if it also contains skin and bowels, is really a supercharger, so beware of high temperatures and be sure they've got always fresh water, better in some shadow places where they can rest
