***OKIES in the BYC III ***

Tonight in market garden class we covered an hour+ in pecans. Story is most places are sold out of plants because pecan prices have doubled in the past 2 yrs so demand is high. Best pecans for recommended - Kanza - Pawnee & Lakota.
Atwoods does have pecans- but they advised those are not worth growing so don't bother.

What is a market garden class?

What is a market garden class?

It is an 8 wk class with the extension center & noble foundation. 1 night a wk 2-1/2 hours long. I take lots of random classes through the ext & noble foundation. I haven't ever taken any classes @ the Kerr center, but they offer good ones too.

Is it about growing things to sell?

Only 1 wk is on marketing. The rest is soil, water, season extension, crops etc. They offer it every yr in a different location I believe. This yr it was in Chickasha so that is the main reason I went.

Cool, sounds interesting. Most adult education courses like that are held on Sat. making it almost impossible for me to attend.

Sooner ask your husband how well he knows a Caterpillar tech named FLUFFY

Fluffy likes lemon cookies! What a small world! I'm guessing you know him too?

Joe how do they compare in size to the coronations? I'm anxious to see the other colors to. Next time take some pics!lolIf you don't quit aquiring more birds your going to have to find a bigger place then that ridge top!lol.

PoCo how many trees do you think you will need to retire on? I like it when people plant trees and plan on getting to see the fruits of their labor. So many people grumble that" whats the use,I'll be long gone by the time it grows up". That doesn't have to be the case and if we all felt that way and didn't plant trees it would be a terrible injustice for our future generations.

Got my first order for EE bantam eggs for the year,guess I need to go and start wrapping them.

they are about the same size as the coronations but look much larger because of all the fluff



ARTSYROBIN - yes they come in bantams as well as LF not shure if anny one localy has anny but last year a pair of choclate bantam orpingtons sold for over $5,000.00
