Quote: How about using a fan in a greenhouse? Before they start to bloom the shaking would probably strengthen the plant, and when it's in bloom, the shaking would release pollen and the breeze transfer it around. Just a theory, I don't have any practical experience. We did have a kid at school who used fans on his little questionably legal indoor greenhouse that he kept in his closet to strengthen the plants though.

A little late but still morning where I am @pollitos2013 Very cute voles and I want your barn!!! Never had an honest to goodness horse barn. The barn on my old farm was a very old converted dairy barn. Had lots of character and leaks! I really miss my old farm and my barn full of critters but I think I miss most that it was 2 zones SOUTH!!! Oh, and the gorgeous old fieldstone chicken coop of course. I swear one day I will have that kind of coop again tho I must admit my little coop hubby and I built by converting one of his hunting shacks is nice and very cute and easy to keep clean. It does help but I do still so miss living on a real farm. @3goodeggs sounds like your pup is getting you very well trained!

Awe! So, why did you have to move? Different job, needed something smaller? I fantasize about having everything that I currently have, plus a bunch more land, and lots more heat. @pollitos2013 So nice to see working voles! @ronott1 Ooh! Didn't realize the eggs were so iffy! you must have a good candler to be able to see the yolks that well. Pictures? You wanted pictures? I decided I would keep these, not sell them, and eat them in November.

My chicken yard

One of my new Rose Comb Dark Brown Leghorn roosters. I think he looks good.

A bunch of my Blue Laced Red Wyandottes, bantams. Mostly the roosters in this shot.

The church I go to, a 6 minute walk. Orthodox. Can you see the Sandhill Cranes at the bottom of the picture?

Boys # 2 and 3 butchering the very first quail. # 4 is the one taking pictures. Dang that quail was small! They are standing directly in front of the house. We have done no mowing this year. The snow shoes on the right side are on the wall of the house, to the left of the front door.

Gorgeous roses in bloom last week, on my walk to church.

@Alaskan I like the combination of ornithology, religion and racquet sports in that picture.

we do have it covered! If I had gotten it from a better angle, you would have had the Bay, mountains, and a glacier in the same shot too!

I so miss Alaska. The green in summer there is like no where else.

Tomatoes are known to be hard to pollinate when the nights are cold. According to tomato raisers the pollinate is sticky. I did some research to find about plant separation for saving seed from heritage tomatoes. Tomatoes are pretty much self pollinated so all it takes is some vibration to make the pollin release.

Nice pictures!

I have a Brinsea high intensity ova view. I need it to see into Dark Penedesenca eggs. It is powerful, has a dedicate not removeable bulb and is the correct color for seeing into eggs. I can see a lot of things in the eggs! Have you seen my candling videos?

@Puddin Fluff

You want more green? Here is some more green!

 

[Alaskan]

Oops, wrong button...

There ya go Puddin! Some more green!

@ronott1
Do you worry about using that with shipped eggs? Since they have to stand upside down.

The candler is hand held so I usually candle from the top. It is an LED so there is not a lot of heat either.
