Threw fia's egg in with and Jace ate them scrambled. He said it was better than chicken eggs. Dork.

I don't think I ever ate a duck egg in my life.

Toast seems to be the most common starch eaten with chicken eggs but I can't help but wonder if with duck eggs it would be more appropriate to have quackers.

Our tomatoes didn't do so well last year either. We had tons & tons of them, canned lots but also had a lot of bad ones. Everyone around us, produce farmers included were all fighting some type of blight. Supposedly had to do a lack of calcium in the soil.

I threw egg shells in my compost bin over the summer to help with that. OR...you could plant your seeds in egg shells....so cute.

LOL! I think Quackers would be appropriate too!


Babygirl... thats a good idea using the egg shells

. How do you bid on eggs?

One I found on ebay - thanks to muttsfan showing me some neat ones on there. The second batch I'm still bidding on - here on BYC in the buy trade sell section. We'll see if I manage to get them. Because I have ordered eggs being shipped on the 28th I restricted myself to only eggs that would ship at the same time.

Last night I painted my new sewing room's floor. I decided I didn't know what I wanted for flooring so I would just paint the concrete and make my mind up later. So all that is left is trim and the drop ceiling tiles have to be put in. So maybe by tonight I will have a sewing room! It's snowing and blowing outside so I won't miss anything!

I have been doing this for the past few years, and had not had any issue with bad tomatoes, besides the chickens sampling each tomato. Anyway, when I am planting tomato plants, I dig a hole, and put in a small hand full of crushed eggshells, and put the plant on top of it, and repeat. I have not had any blossom end rot on my tomatoes for years.

Batten down the hatches, might be an ice-storm coming, prediction is for late tues-late wed. My cold precludes me from wanting to do much but I think I'll go on out and make sure everything is ready.

Good morning Michigan, windy but not unpleasant here today.

Opa, it worries me that you still feel so punk - think Dr visit maybe?

My tomatoes grew over 6 feet tall last year, thanks to the help of unlimited amounts of horse manure. The girls love to climb on the Big Pile of Poo and search for worms. When you plant your tomatoes, put some bone meal at the base of the plant, that will provide calcium to prevent blossom end rot.
