EDUCATIONAL INCUBATION & HATCHING CHAT THREAD, w/ Sally Sunshine Shipped Eggs

[BullChick]

Since it's slow, I can ask a stupid question without feeling so bad.
I'm hoping to have a better garden this year. I have a handle on tomatos, pumpkins, and hot peppers. I need suggestions on variety for the following: Bell peppers, watermelon, sweet potatoes and peas.

Sweet potatoes and peas have to go in when it's cooler.
Peas go in as soon as the ground is warm enough to work. You can get a fall crop in as well.
Bell peppers need the same conditions as chilies. Watermelon - heat. They have one of the highest temp requirements for germination.
You will need short season melons in PA.

What are habs?
Habaneros?

Montreal Canadiens.

 

[ChickenCanoe]

Montreal Canadiens.

How do you get habs out of that?

My son's a Blues fan. He just told me he knew they were called the habs but didn't know why.

It's short for Les Habitants, which is what some believe the "H" in the middle of their logo stands for.

Don't bet on it. Get them treated, clean out the coop and disinfect. Twice.

Care to send some warming breezes? *Sigh*

Right now I'd need a blowtorch to even clean the roost.... I bent my scooper trying to chip it off.

@kwhites634Are you liking this first half? Go Pack! Well minus that series.

@ChickenCanoe Glad you are doing better.

I am not reading back. I hope you are all well.

@meltelHow was your hatch?

@casportpony I had a cattle panel fall on a pullet. She was down with it on her neck. She is holding a wing a little funny and has choked some, but she is alive. Is there anything I should do?

I hate the new TV signals. I double hate Fox/CBS's lousy signal.
