Melon maybe?? Squash? Turnip??
haha you aren't a yokel...most people don't know what a Kohlrabi is. Its in the cole crop family. More specifically the cabbage family and has kind of the look of a turnip, sort of but is grown above ground and is not a root veggie. Here's a link, that will probably help more

So, I think maybe perhaps this cool weather has me feeling all industrious, but I'm going to start working on a chick grow out pen. Should be interesting as I had no plans of it yesterday other than a long distant thought, but its my day off, so why not? I'll be using a lot of the materials that are already around here, so it will be all reclaimed, can't wait. I'll have to see about painting it tho. May have to wait til I can get some from town. I am excited about it. I love building things!
 
You go girl! I need to get some shade cloth of some kind to put on the top and west side of the run. Something that lets some of the rain in, so it doesn't crush the top of the run, but something that will shade and not let in a deluge. Any tips where to get this stuff?

you should be able to pick up about anywhere that has a decent size garden section....I usually wait til the end of the season and then hit up places like home depot, lowes and etc and they have it on clearance for cheap and I just store it for the next year. works pretty well
 
Cool! Wally World ought to carry it, maybe? If not, maybe the Do-it-Center or Orschlen's may have it. I see yet another work project in the making....
