Hehe, Mine do that too. Now the mulch is pretty much so turned, that it no longer exists!

YES! That is the book. Why the heck couldn't I find it. Stupid MSN search. I need to put a different search engine in. Thinking Bing or Google. I can get it on my Kindle reader. Sweet. Thanks Herducks.

So how was your day?

Mine was spent in two (2) different dentist's offices getting an emergency root canal.
Talk about putting your money where your mouth is.

Mine was a rollercoaster. First, I got a call to have an interview with our local petsmart. Then, when I was locking up all my birds, a few capuchine pigeons were still out. One of them was a very nice beautiful bird that was still growing. Well, I tried catching it and he started flying around. he then missed a tree branch and fell. As I walked to pick him up, a cat ran to it and killed it right in front of me. Everybody better have their cats locked up cause I am not to happy with them.

Hi Everyone! I'm from Lakeview and just joined BYC. We relocated from Houston and bought a farm last March. We put in a garden and bought a small herd of Angora goats. In the Spring we will be adding some chickens. We're thinking about RIR, Barred Rock or Buff Orpington for layers. I would also like to raise meat chickens. I was wondering if anyone has experience raising heritage chickens for meat and if they are any good or if we should go with the Cornish Cross. We're beginners so any advice is welcome. It's great to see such a large community from MI.

Regards,,
Farmer 123

My girls wiped out my hostas last year in less than a day when I wasn't watching. I fenced off the bed and replanted this spring. I *might* let them into the bed in a few weeks.

I did open the raspberry patch, the fennel patch and another area that went to seed. They have pretty much cleared out anything that is green.

Welcome Farmer123 !!!

RaZ - sorry about your tooth! NOT FUN!

Sorry for all the losses! That is the toughest part of farming/backyard farming/urban farming for me.

Good luck to that beautiful pup on his surgery!
