You can see the miniature hosta to the right of the "tree", this was last year.



Just now, threw in a penny for scale.


*Edited to add current picture.

love your ferry garden, ...I had a small hosta like that but it had a skinnier leaf...gave it to my daughter but I think it got lost

Hmm, I don't think where you are born decides your nationality, otherwise my brother would be Chinese.

I was born in England, and actually lived there, on and off for fourteen years. Mom was English, but I was an Army brat. Manx/Irish on the paternal side, so the love of pipes and kilts comes from the Irish!

I do love Scotland though - some of the most gorgeous countryside in the world, and yes, some of the men are gorgeous too!

(100% British, but only Half English!)

Idk about the kilts, but it's the accent that does it for me. Of all the different accents, i love the scottish one the best.
Second to that, a good southern one.

I dunno, there's something about a man in a kilt - if he's got the guts to wear one, and knows how to carry it off, like Sean here!

And Liam's just plain sexy!

And Ewan MacGregor!

And notice the sgian-dubh (dagger) in the right hand kilt hose on the two men on the left!

And who could forget this?

I'm glad then I'm not selling 'scovies in Michigan. We are getting $30 for drakes (the big ones), $15 for hens, and $8 for ducklings. We have a big Asian population here and they love the Muscovies (live, so we don't even have to process them!).

Geez!! I would love to get those prices.

I don't know how you can stay in business with the prices you get. Are they on pasture, mostly forage? How old/young are you selling them for? How are your feed prices, do you supplement much?

My clients want "old" birds; with lots of caruncling, the more red the more money they will spend. They prefer the drakes, so we get to eat mostly ducks. But then, a Muscovy duck for 2 people isn't bad.

I just fed the pooch. She had:

1 chicken head and neck
2 chicken legs and feet
1 gizzard
1 heart
1 liver and lungs

It was straight from the freezer in a glad wrap sandwich bag (which i removed) - she ate them in under five minutes.

Tonight she will get duck egg, and gluten free kibbles (home-made). (She has skin allergies) I wouldn't have bothered with trying the gluten free, but had a lot of flour left over from a family member's visit and had to use it up.

Since switching to a gluten free, and half raw diet, she has blossomed. Her coat is shiny, and her nails strong, but oh how fast they grow! (hair and nails both) I wouldn't have believed it had I not seen it for myself.

(And I hate wasting the leftovers from slaughter day!)

We sell them from a few days old all the way to 2 years old. Our feed prices are pretty low ($7/ per #50) and they freerange most of the day. This is more of a hobby and we get most of our sales from our sebastopol geese and our seramas.
