Happy Birthday to me!!!

Happy Birthday!

Congratulations on the graduation Elizabeth!
I'm so glad Chicharo is okay! My cat Phoebe will be 11 in August and I worry about her getting older. She had a period of weight loss and not eating several years ago not long after I got her. It was right after I had taken her in for a bath and to get all of the mats off of her belly. It turned out she had a herniated diaphraghm. I think the knucklehead at Petco who worked on her got a little too rough with her.

Anyway, she had to have surgery and afterwards everything was fine. Hopefully Chicharo has nothing like that going on. At least he ate the canned food! Maybe he's just getting picky in his old age.

thanks, Ron! Chicharo has been eating pretty good. Hopefully nothing serious is going on.

Of course!

And the swing music!

OK what's your favorite homemade ice cream flavor?!! I'll get on that right now!

Seriously! No I can't make pralines and cream cause I don't know how they make their pralines but give me a couple of choices. I bet I have the stuff here to make one of them.

My favorite homemade ice cream is Peach - but it's not quite the season for them yet.

Oops! Just saw where you told Tyler that Mark and Aubrey get to pick the flavor!

Ali! Welcome to the Nevada thread and

. You do have a lot more to worry about over in Hidden Valley. The coyotes are awful there. My MIL lives in Hidden Meadows. As long as your HOA if you are in one allows chickens then you are good to go. You should be good with the 18" of wire but you can also bury the blocks as well since you do get those other critters there that you don't get much around Reno. The blocks would stop the moles and such burying under the coop and then the coyotes may have an opportunity to get in.

Bad news. Just found one of my lavender pullets dead.

The ramp had fallen down on top of her. Totally my fault. the ramp was still temporary and I hadn't fastened it to the porch. Lesson learned. I feel so bad.

Hi all. Newbie here from Carson City. I hate to interrupt your on-going discussion but I'll be in the market for good egg-laying hens soon. I can only keep 4 because of the CC ordinances. Does anyone know of a good place to buy chicks or hens in this area?

Awww, that stinks! That's how I felt after my silkie chick fell and died. It comes with chicken ownership, right? That's what I keep telling myself, anyway.

Happy birthday, Dee!

I finished all of the planting yesterday. I still have to total it all up accurately, but I think it's...
33 tomato plants
13 eggplant
12 peppers
8 tomatillos
75 feet of carrots
60 feet of peas
100 feet of potatoes PLUS 32 bags of potatoes
120 feet of corn
10 zucchini
19 winter squash, plus 12 more seeded
5 cucumbers, plus 12 more just sprouting
50 feet of pole beans
at least 200 bush beans seeded and sprouting
maybe 50 radishes...
3 x 4' bed thick with basil, plus 8 established plants
2'x8' of lettuce
2'x16' of spinach
20 kale plants
about 20 chard plants
200 onions
(And everything we put in Garden #3, but we won't be harvesting any of that.)

We've been eating lettuce for the past month, spinach for the past 2 weeks, and just ate 1.5lbs of snow peas tonight! Beside fresh rabbit and mushroom gravy.
