@Dreamzchaser, you can take any leaves or mulch off the Egyptian Walking Onions now. Give them a few weeks, and you can snip green onions here and there.

I'm so sorry to hear about Opa. He was such a great human being. It was a privilege to visit him and Granny at his home in Howell, so many years ago now. He had a good long life, and a family that loved him.

I am very sorry and sad to hear this. I too, had the good fortune to visit with him several times at his house. I met a lot of his family and they are just as wonderful as Sam. First Grannie and now Opa.

True goodness must be a family trait.

I still have one of Granny's quilted chickens in my car for a good luck piece, works great so far!

I have a chicken from Granny, too. She was the sweetest!

Anyone worried about frost damage? I checked MSU's info about blueberries, cherries, and apple blossoms for the upcoming chilly/cold nights. As long as my blueberries don't come along much farther with their flowers, they should be safe at the temps we might be getting this coming week. Hopefully, the chilly days keep the buds tight.

Very sad about Opa. He shared so much info with me and I even built his roll away egg box from his plans. I'll try and dig up some nice photos I took of him.

Hope it's okay to hop in here! Just got my coop cleaned out since the temps were perfect for spending 2 hours shoveling. Next winter we won't have the chickens and ducks cohabitating so winter clean up will be much easier.

Welcome, @coffeebooksandchickens!

I used to live in Eastport. Is that anywhere near you?
