Did you know split peas can sprout

By Bob
I did not.

When the peas are split apart, only the half that contains the embryo will sprout (assuming the embrionic structure/cells are not damaged when the pea seed splits)

Yes indeed

I wanted to give this post both a and a ! We need to petition Admin to 1) add the hug emoji icon to the 'like' bar and 2) get them to allow a double selection from that bar

No, I said the SMALLER welded wire. I was under the impression that you were going to wrap the 1/2 x 1/2 welded wire over that area for safety. I thought getting the carabiner through both the run framing AND the additional welded wire would be the sturdiest/safest. If you are okay with it being attached to just the run framing welded wire, that is fine.


Yes, the S style carabiner. I believe it will actually work easier - one end clipped to the eye bolt, the other to the fencing/welded wire. It will be easier to attach/detach and still have a fairly tight tolerance - tighter tolerance than a standard carabiner.

I think that there will be enough flex built into that set-up that it won't be an issue, unlike the ridged door. Enough flex to hook/unhook, without so much flex that the 2x2 cross-bars will pull out of the wire mesh of the run.

That said, it was just a thought - try out what you have an see if it works or if it has too much flex and the 2x2 slats move too much. If not, go with that!

Thank you for your thoughts! Very good.
I did wonder if you might have meant the hardware cloth. Maybe the S-Biner clips have a tiny enough latch that could go through that.

That makes sense. Botany is not my thing at all.

That is very sweet.

We are coming up on the anniversary of poor Maleficent's passing. I've been thinking of her a lot lately.

Thanks for the concern, I went up on the roof, but it’s gonna take more than just a patch to repair the leak. There’s not much damage inside.

Well that sucks - sorry to hear that it will need a bit more than a patch to repair.

But really glad the inside is not too much damage.

And all the chooks are ok? and you're ok?

I’m still crazy, if that’s what you mean!

We are on a tornado warning in the Valley for tonight.
