One step closer to moving the meat birds out of the little pen. Stinkers!

Great job VFem!! Sure does look great!!

The rain has finally hit us, glad I was able to sneak out early this morning and pick some peas!! Corn & Sunflowers are still going strong, as are my pumpkins and squash...the beans are trying, but something has eaten holes in the leaves, so I am not sure if they will make it

... sadly my tomatoes, and peppers are desperately struggling

. Why oh why do I have a black thumb?!? I may give the garden a kelp bath in the near future, maybe that will help??!! LOL...so who wants to come live with us and garden for us next year?!? LOL

how much room are we talking can i bring my chickens and pseudo wife and baby??? two dogs and cats.. sorry to hear about your garden I hear some tomatoes dont do so hot here. I have some romas they are doing awesome and a bunch of heirlooms that seem to be doing well. I am sure you know but when you plant them they say you should cover half the plant i did that with all mine and they seem to be doing really well.

Well we had our first bear visitor of the year last night, it tore right through the fence bending metal stakes down to the ground. Completely broke into a 6" PVC pipe that had a bird house on it with I might add just hatched out baby birds. Then proceeded to tear down the bird feeder and carry it off i found it up on the hill torn up[metal] did not do any damage to anything else and the coops are right there too. I stood the bird house back up with the baby birds still alive but barely, I sure hope the mommie bird comes back. So this after noon we'll be fixing the fence and replacing posts. I had just filled the feeder with sunflower seeds so it got a tasty snack.

Hey everyone!!!
I was wanting to see if anyone might be interested in some ducks! We were going to be building a pond for these guys but it looks like that isn't going to happen now so we would like to find them a new home. We have a pair of Pekins, they are about a year old and the hen is laying an egg every morning! The male is super sweet!!! He loves to sit in your lab and be petted. We also have 5 ducklings, 2 are pure pekins and 3 are peking/mallard mixes. We would like to see these guys go to good homes. They are pets!!!
