Maine

I have to run right now but just HAD to post that there is a baby gosling in the bator with two new chicks and two more pipped. IDK how this happened but I am so grateful. Apparently my son and SO both 'burped' the bator when they saw the high temp so maybe they were heroes.

'Never give up. Never surrender.' Other than turkey poults our feathered friends are tougher than you think.

Ugh sick with a spring cold. So frustrating! I hate using my vacation time on sick days!!
Just a warning; this post has little to do with chickens...

I am having an issue with my brassica seedlings. One leaf seems to start shriveling up on each plant. They seem to be fine in every other way - no discoloration, no wilting or falling over...Anyone have any idea what this is about? The light above them is about 6-8 inches away from them. and they are in a room that is usually about 65-70 degrees during the day. I dont *think* I am over-watering them either.

The other day we had someone come out and rip off 2500 sq feet of grass to make room for the (largeeeee) garden. Last night we put in the 10 orchard trees. I got some free garden fencing and stakes on CL and made some deer cages and I hope they are enough to keep them off the little trees. Our deer are pretty timid.

Now I have a pile about 10 ft around and 6ft high of nice clean fill if anyone here needs it...only hitch is you'd have to access it from a side road with a small ditch in the way. The guys got a back hoe up the ditch so I suppose someone could get a vehicle up there too.

Here is the logo I made for our mini farm:



I know it's a little silly but I am pretty happy with it :) I wanted it to have a sketchy, handmade look to it. That being said, if anyone needs a logo, banner or any other graphic work I would be happy to do it for barter or money. I rarely use my illustration background anymore and I miss it!

I love it!
 
I figured that since I had such a dismal hatch from the shipped eggs, I needed to make myself feel better. (With 10 chickens and 2 ducks. And an extra coop.)
Other women make themselves feel better with a new pair of shoes, or a pocket book. I have a feeling that most of the gals on this site would be happier with a new garden tool or a load of manure... or an other chicken!

I'm noticing the same thing with only one of my varieties: Golden Acre Cabbage. It was also poor germ. and not growing as well as the rest. the rest seem to be ok. Where did you get your seed? Mine are Fedco.
 
Mine are from Johnny's, organic variety. It is happening on the Brussel sprouts, broccoli and cauliflower but strangely not on my red cabbage... I transplanted them into larger cells today and moved them to an area that is a little cooler. I am hoping that the space and temperature change helps!

Thanks Clover Run! :)

as long as it's just the cotyledons, and the plants over all look healthy, I don't think it'll be a problem... unless it's a disease that we all don't know about.

Hahahaha too true! Although, I did get my self a new pair of shoes the other day too. They're waterproof shoes from TSC, and they are for cleaning the coop, so do they still count?
