It grows wild here. ANd it does get cold some times. (Like it iced for 3 days one year)

yeah I don't know Dan...I just read a article on rhubarb on either country side or mother earth news that said rhubarb need a cold for off to thrive. It gets that here and it grows great. You'd have to read up on it.

I want to try growing rhubarb soooo bad! I love that stuff. They sale it at TSC might get some if it goes on sale before it goes bad. (Everyone says its too hot here)

I think it is probably too hot.

My rhubarb grow in a tub from a washing machine. Maybe try doing something like that and moving it into the cool of a garage, or heck even the house if you've got the room, to keep it cooler. They seem to prefer shade, plenty of humus and manure, and water. If they send up a flower spike, either enjoy it or break it off and it'll regrow stalks. Leave 2/3 stalks alone, when harvesting, to promote new growth, and chickens will eat it!

Last good egg is done.

these half Orloff, half Legbar zipped like machines, in just a few minutes and almost perfectly straight zip lines. Hope my other pure Orloff hatches, but I doubt it. It's 24 hour clock starts now.

Still you might be able to set up a micro climate. I can make a micro climate here to grow prickly pears.

I will have to check it out. Maybe I can find somewhere in the woods. I tried growing it the first year we moved down to the coast. No good.

Got my waterer done for the outside brooder box, just checking it now for leaks

I need to make one for mine, trouble is I already bought the vertical ones. You really need the horizontal ones for this idea.

Well now I feel a bit mean while I was cooking dinner, he started building the new coop. It is all from reclaimed stuff that we get paid to remove from foreclosed houses. It will be a new design. Probably going to have a tin roof and a wire entrance door. Another good thing we are using up some of the junk piles laying around. Waste not....
