My cilantro is peaking out as well as pigeon peas. Started 24 of sweet corn and only 8 sprouted.

I have peas and greens planted and up already. Same with garlic and onions. Potatoes could go in too. They aren't "tender" like tomatoes and peppers. Tomatoes and peppers are the garden divas.

We have those things in, too. The greens are in my greenstalk, and I've been having yummy salads. My bare-root strawberry crowns arrive, today. They'll also go in a greenstalk

Hello, Michigan peeps! I haven’t been here in like forever, but I see a few names I remember, thank goodness, along with a lot of newer (to me!) names (also thank goodness for that!)

Back in the day, I had chickens, geese, turkeys, and peafowl. I eventually stopped acquiring birds due to difficult life events, and my last bird (the peacock Maurice) passed about a month ago.

The big change in life was my husband passed away about three years ago. Still dealing with that, emotionally and in other ways, but have been able to move forward. Finally bought the little farm I dreamed of, and now have 3 goats, a miniature donkey, and a mini mule!

I do want to have birds again, still thinking of what and when.

Hello everyone. I have 4 Female Splash Laced Red Wyandottes that are 7 months old. Getting ready to lay real soon. I really need to rehome them. Hopefully to someone who will spoil them lol. So sad I have to get rid of them. I’m in southeast Michigan. Dearborn. Thank you

They are still available. And laying daily. Sweet birds.

I'm so sorry for your loss.
Your animals are very handsome.

Hi Yorkchick, Nice to see you back. I'm sorry to hear about your husband. Love your little minis.
If you are thinking about getting birds, I'm not sure if you read he post a few previous from this one about someone with pullets that need a home

MDARD released a directive (report?) today concerning dairy and commercial poultry facilities, for AI management. Look it up! And poultry shows aren't going to happen until there are no new cases for 30 days in the state. I believe that's what it says, haven't really studied this yet.
Here we are again...
