Let me look back at the timing last year. I think Aussie did this. She's a manly lady lol

4x4 and maybe 3ft in height.

Sure acts like one. I was expecting more red in the comb by now. Guess I am used to Seramas.

seramas you can sex pretty quick. I have one crowing already.

Got my garden planted! 5 varieties of tomatoes (2 husky cherry, Mr. Stripey heirloom, creole hybrid, that's all I remember), sweet basil, purple basil, dwarf and regular marigolds, and strawberries.

Some of them look pretty sad because they got too dry when I was gone. :/ but some of them perked up!

The other bed. Flowers on the squash/zucchini but no veggies. I got a handful of green beans though!

We stuck some dry and nearly dead jalepenos in with the banana peppers. I'm going to start some seeds tomorrow for the pavilion flower beds. Wouldn't it be funny to see a watermelon in a flower bed??

Absolutely.
100%

and I'm not sure if you remember..I am cheap/very thrifty.

Can you find me one at goodwill

Ally, I would make 2 hinged lids because you will have a hard time reaching them with just one and one will be too heavy. I would use 2x2s for a frame and you will need to pre drill the holes because that wood splits easy or buy L brackets (recommended) 4 hinges and hardware cloth stapled on .

Yes, but I used to have to buy a new computer every 5 years at least.

So Kiki how long do they last? More than 5 years?

Wishing here is Aussie my Australorp last year at 7.5 weeks. She's closest in the pic. The other is a BSL.

Pica cravings, When you have no iron in your blood your body tries to tell you . dust, sand, body powder, carpet powder, You HAVE to have it and cant get enough. Put myself in a sugar coma from 3 boxes of those little white powdered donuts. No matter how much meat/protein I eat its not absorbed through the stomach so I have to have a different delivery system. Took months to figure out what was wrong. the shape of my blood cells told them.

Very interesting.
