Surviving Minnesota!

Thank you everyone . I know it is 5 month away but thinking of gardening . I have a new plan for thwarting the rabbits . I have a couple of chicken runs not in use . So they are fertile and fenced . Going to give it a try . Due to age I now prefer pole beans . I can stand while picking . Fortex and Kentucky blue are my favorites . Nice long skinny beans with small seeds at picking stage .

Morning . Only about 1 inch of snow . So 50 years ago we got married .

Happy Anniversary Jerry and Janet! I hope the kids are throwing you a big party! It is a wonderful milestone. I treasure my photos from mom and dad’s 50th last year.

Little bit nicer letting the birds out this morning. 5 degrees.

Pole beans are space savers in the garden too can add more things. Better get some tall poles for That garden... lol.

I too have been thinking about gardening. I got my first seed catalog last week.

I use cattle panels usually . I got a hand tool off a Farm Show magazine seller 20 plus years ago . You can bend 2 v in them and make a gate . Makes them rigid .

Can you show me the tool and the bend you put in them?

I use the cattle panels too. I put bends in them to make them more rigid but for a gate would be handy if not too large a gate.

You’ve gotta have one of these, BC. So cool!. Go to their website and request one. It’s really unique and fun to look through whether or not you ever buy from them.

Got to share . Many of you have chainsaws . I just replaced a carb on my Stihl 180 . Got carb , air , fuel and oil filters plus fuel and oil lines for $12.70 off eBay . Dealer put a kit in carb on my MS311 last year for around $100. So quite a savings . I am not good at carb work so this worked fine . Had to adjust the idle a little .
