Nevadans?

We'll figure something out once we get crops coming in. A huge meetup for this kind of thing might be tough.

Yea we missed you last night Aubrey but at least here you can catch up easily.

I got the same e-mail. I have been talking to him over the last couple of weeks. I'm not buying any of his starter kits but I am on his list to buy a 5 frame nuc next spring. I even convinced him to make a wooden nuc box rather than the cardboard he usually sells them in. So far seems to be an easy friendly person to deal with. I spent the last 2 or 3 months dong my homework on bees so I think I am ready to start anyway.

COOL!!!

Just posting a link from another member to a great source for clear, reinforced, UV treated tarps. I have a small green house type of shed here but I will probably go this route when we move.

Yeah he is a nice guy - I've talked to him, too. Are you going to make your own hive? I've been doing a lot of research on bees too. I've got a couple of DVD's and a book that I've gone through. So I think I'm ready!

Thanks Sunny!

thanks for the tarp source, sunny. And good point on the smilie faces. I will need to use those more liberally to convey the proper emotions when joking or responding to your joking

I was dreaming about gardens last night. They were stressful dreams too. I have some crazy dreams. I was glad to wake up and discover that there was nothing really wrong (except I'm not really a successful gardener

).

Aubrey, I commend you for going to bed and getting lots of sleep. I should have just never logged on last night and I would have gotten much more sleep.

To all of those contemplating bees, sounds really cool.

Keep us updated.

Sheryl, what sorts of produce is at the farmers' market this time of year? I haven't been since the summer. We usually go to the California Ave one. I guess I need to check it out all year long.

Well, I'm back at work at it's not too bad. I'm happy I got lots done at home over the past few days. Hubby is instructed to hack away at the post holes a little more today while we have such good weather. My parents are coming for a weeklong visit on Saturday so I do have quite a bit more to tidy up at home before they get here.

Sorry Elizabeth, I was talking about going to the farmer's market once it starts again.

Good you can make me laugh.

You are amazing that you can laugh right now! I still feel so horrible for your loss! I guess I feel it more cause I knew the birds that those brats killed!

You always make me laugh and I needed it. I really really need to find a place to move. This time it was my birds, last time me and my dogs and I want to get out of here before it's one of the kids. I'm just so done with this area right now.

I miss my birds! I'm just so sick over what they did to my birds. Thing is I don't want details and the neighbor didn't get graphic. I don't think i could handle that right now. Since I didn't see them, I'm trying to think of it as they're missing. Doesn't help much, because that would drive me crazy too, but to think they're gone forever is something I'm trying to block out.

I was looking into a booth at that farmers market once but the person in charge never got back to me. Turned out to be a good thing with the erratic weather we had that year. I think a greenhouse would be a must if I needed to produce that much. I really just wanted to sell my extra eggs and tomatoes but I would have sold out in the first 30 mins. The hens just didn't produce enough to keep a booth supplied well. I like the one on California cause it's not so huge and overwhelming. But then the Sparks market gets those wonderful strawberries from Watsonville. They are worth the extra drive.
