WOW! I'm gone for four days and am 474 posts behind!

No way am I going to try to catch with all of those posts so I'm starting at the end of the thread and moving forward from there.

Muesky - it looks like you're the designated Wish List keeper. Will PM you with mine.

Will Jack bring eggs to poops?? Or selling blue chicks? DD is really into blue birds this season. I didn't want to get in a bidding war last night over eggs! Some of them went way too high.
For gardening site I have used garden web for years, loads slow lots of ads but has everything you need! I also use Dave's garden (it's $20 a yr though). Homesteading today also has a good garden & preserving forum. As far as garlic grows I plant mine in the fall. Half of what I planted looks amazing. The other half has had frequent visits for the rabbits & goats.
I spent the entire day on the tractor running the tiller. Used a full tank of diesel. Told DH the guy we bought it from lied, he said the tractor would run all day on a tank of diesel. It only lasted about 6 hours. Wish we could drive the truck for 6 hours on 5 gallons! Told my girls they may not see me in the morning, I am scared my aching body might not let me roll out of bed.
Thankful for the rain we had! However, looking forward to the nice weather we are suppose to have the next few days.

That is a very good site, I go there for specific info and they have a VERY active Okie thread. The only thing is it is a little frustrating b/c it it hard to tell
what you have already read or not, there is no way of marking what you last read or what has been posted since your last visit, at least that I have found.

Good morning Okie's. I have had a very productive weekend & got lots done! The chicken building is almost complete except making tables or something to set the cages on. Looking forward to being able to get the birds in there & the tools out.

Planning to paint the rest of my hive when I get home today so I can enjoy the pretty weather.

Reminder: Anyone that is signing up for anything at POOPS (food, T-shirts, Wish list, Raffle) please try to send it in a PM to the person that is keeping the list. As stated above the thread moves so fast it is easy to miss it if posted there.

TLC on Memorial and Santa Fe usually has a good selection of herbs. There is another nursery just west of them on the south side of Memorial that has good prices. I always stop there too since it is a bit of a drive from here. I make a big garden shopping day of the trip.

I'll have to keep that in mind if we ever go to OKC! Thanks for the info...How are the cochins hatching? Did the person contact you about your buff trio? I sent him the info on who to contact.

 

[fairwindminishetland]

Lowe's carries both spearmint and peppermint in 4 " potts in the herb section.

I'll check it out! Thanks
