How awful!
Number 1 old Murphy has been very busy this week. This is the 3rd time writing this.
My 6 mo. Pullets are starting to lay. I have started to Glean Dumpsters.
I had Gleaned twice this last night. There was a head of cauliflower I could find nothing wrong with, an orange with one small brown spot. I am so confused. The box with spinach looked like the same stuff I argued with the manager of the store many weeks ago. They had 3 bunches left, they were slimy and turning to mush. He said they were good and they all look like that. I would have bought them at half price, using the good leafs only.
My bed, last night decided I needed to be flipped. I have been using air beds as a mattress, I like changing the firmness. Usually they deflate, I always but the guarantee if offered. This time, as I slept, half the bed deflated, half the bed ballooned up, the air chamfers gave way.
The result was I was thrown into the air, and flipped on to my back. 
If only I had a video of it.
Lastly, I have been talking to Arizona bee keepers, one started in 1947. I am hopping to start next month.
Most disheartened, the wild bees I have been trying to figure a way to save, I can not. I have neat her the money for the equipment nor the experience. I started the death of the hive last night. We are not a bee thread, so let me a give a quick synopsis. Wild bees are & are not Africanized, they WILL be in time, the solution is yearly re-queening. This is what is going on in Arizona. When I get to Louisiana I will have to learn more stuff to be successful there. In an out a month I will be getting my own hive. I will be managing MY hive as I see is best. That means I may not have it on my property. They may be moved around for best flowering sources, having them at home only during the times I need to feed them. I now plan on several hives, I do not know if I will be expanding here or when I get to LA.
I found out that all the talk about sugar honey from China, is that they did NOT add sugar water to the honey, but the bees feed of sugar water, making a Sudo-Honey, with all the nutrition that sugar water gives. Just like with our chickens, what goes in is what comes out. I am suspicious, that our own honey on the grousers shelf has been produced with the same methods to some extent.
I have known people from all over the world, farmers markets is the way to regain our health. Know the food source is what the visitors and immigrants have taught me, this is :yiipchickwhat we on BYC are working for and actively creating. You, in Louisiana, are making a difference. Here it is much less active, but is growing, after all AZ is a desert.

I would have loved to see the air bed Catapult!
I have kept bees and am getting ready to start a new colony. Sometimes in hard years Bees will make a nector instead of honey. Its not as thick as Honey. I have never felt the need to move my hive. They have a 5 mile radious that they forage from. That is a shame that the store would put it in the garbage instead or a farmer for live stock.

I am glad all our chicks are doing good. We only lost 2 early on. But that didn't surprise me since they were so weak when they got here. My Cornish X are over 4oz already!!! All the other breeds have either doubled their starting weight, or very nearly so. It is so strange how the CX look exactly the same size when they first get here and now they look like they are WEEKS older than the other breeds. I'm just glad they are all still doing good.
Sounds like a lot of work. I better not try.
Put some dirt in a pot. Drop a few seeds and water. That's it.
My problem, aside from DH being a lil lay with starting projects, is dirt. Seems to expensive to start tings when the only thing i know is to either stick it in the ground... or buy these small yet horribly expensive bags of dirt. I WANT so badly to make gardening year round and canning things to last the year my 'thing'. But I have no clues how to start, begin, or do it successfully. I know, I know.... Need to just buy a book. But, half the books contained information that wouldnt apply to us with our Louisiana weather... so wasted money. Any advice?
ok, so I started my first batch of FERMENTED FEED! I am so excited to have our feed costs go down some.... since i will need to hatch about 100 for us alone this year.
OOO OOO OOO and I got my 3rd order for chicks! This time they want 50! So this is getting more and more fun!
