Good morning folks

Another lovely day is on tap for us to enjoy.

We have decided to try growing our own hothouse
tomatoes this year and see how it goes. We are also
going to try leaf lettuce and spinach with the tomatoes
so we can have fresh salads throughout the winter
months. Not sure how well it will work out but we'll
never know if we can if we don't try.

hope everyone has a good day

Good luck! Yum, freshly grown salad in the winter!

I have a bantam pullet that has been panting for the past 2 days. She seems otherwise healthy. It is obviously not too hot. Any ideas?

Tip of the day: when thanking someone for their hard work, do not simultaneously undo that hard work.

Sounds like the unfortunate voice of experience.

Is she egg bound? At the very least, I'd qt and observe.

Sadly, yes. I have a husband and three sons which I was blessed with after surviving 4 older brothers. I suppose I should just be glad I at least got a thank you. Even a half arsed one is probably better than none. The jury is still out.

You should see the looks my kids get from people when my kids say please, and thank you to them. I have had other school parents hunt me down just to tell me how polite my kids are. Makes me feel good, but on the other hand it's like a new thing for the adults to hear it from a kid. I know I was raised to be polite, but I guess others have lacked longer then just todays kids.

I did however finally finish the chicken run complete with aviary netting yesterday. Today I built a small temporary run for our guy in quarantine. He was not overly keen on my gathering him up to transport him from his night quarters to his new run, but once he got there he was thrilled!! He spent the day showing his gratitude by helping me out with my compost pile that was strategically placed in the middle of his run. At least my rooster appreciates me. nice to not have to worry about my girls flying the coop too. I have at least two that hopped that fence semi regularly. And I built a fire in the fireplace for the first time since buying this house. Surprisingly I managed not to burn the house down. Considering the state of everything else we've come across in this money pit, that's a welcome relief.

I had the same with my oldest (now 17 1/2). My 4year old is starting to get it too, but they are not the offenders in question today. :/
