Watermelon is a summer fruit.

Urmm... all fruits are summer fruits, unless you've figured out how to get pears to grow in December.

I can't even get the winter hardy watermelons to grow. Must be doing something wrong---I'm sure it's possible to grow them here.

Watermelon? Why can't you eat that in winter too?

If your ice pick comes with a spoon you can.

Beach is fun, but SO crowded.

Example: Geographically speaking,
Daytona IS PACKED. A party beach and very popular.
Cresent Beach (Near Ripley's Believe it or Not & your neck of the woods Banty lol) is like a ghost town. Turtles, shells, starfish. An oasis.
Our favorite I might add.

It sure does! It's a multi tool.

I think neurological. Just gave her some more space to build muscle mass. She is under developed compared to the rest.
Got her running in circles.. Good sign. Too clumbsey and I think poor vision.
She was barely alive when I took her in. So progress is occurring but gradually. Bought a liquid Iron supplement last night to help avoid sticking in too many needles.View attachment 1154768
The Tub she just graduated from..


The roomy kiddie pool has her moving and exploring.
Piglets are supposed to be high energy and doing cart wheels like goat kids. Because of rapid growth rates.. super charged. This one is stuck in first gear.. at the present time anyway.

Had to wrap poultry wire around it so she stops climbing out and smacking the concrete.

Trying to escape...go sight seeing is a good sign.

Ocation??

Auction
You talked previously about auctions...

 

[Lazy Farmer]

Benny, most people don't agree with that, okay? You need to stop getting so bothered over it.

I pull mine out after 20 mins out of shell.
My room is not climate controlled and so very close to the incubator conditions. At least until winter comes.
I am fast as well. I don't pussy foot. I am like a tire changer in NASCAR.. zip zip, I am lightning fast on open, grab & shut.
mt bator is reading 100f & 59%humidity. The room is showing 96F and 70% RH.
I have 4 Brooder tanks w/lamps cranking. No drafts.
And a baby piggy melting my grinch's heart.. ahhh.

Oh, I get it now.

We said swaps, not auctions, yes? The one I go to had about 10 people selling last year, that's it.

Your room IS an incubator.
