Dang it. We have to be good at something down here. Lol. Maybe wishful thinking caused me to believe these few little counties could lead the world in peanut production. Im pretty sure we lead north america.

I am a few days behind in posts and for that, I do apologize.

I'llI want to warn fellow Old Timers that I believe CanuckBock may very well be trying to slowly, but surely, confirm our addiction to her very own, the ownership of many, many baby ducklings! They appear to me to be armor penetrating, laser-guided ducklings, they may very well have homing devices. I would not trust those painted webbed feet!

It has been a kind of crazy couple of weeks, so I haven't posted as quite as much, especially in the last few days.

Highs first! My babies turned three weeks old today! They are so healthy and fat! I can't believe how many feathers they have so far.

Well, I can't get the photos to load from my phone right now? I dunno, I'll show you tomorrow.

The lows.......well a month or so ago, the owner of the business I have worked for, for almost a decade, got a letter saying they owed back rent and needed to pay....so much. Well he decided to ignore that, so now he owes so much, he isn't going to try to come up with it. So now my manager and I have no job. Well, at least it is closing down, and we can draw unemployment. We have both worked for a long time, he for this particular company, for twice as long as I. So I'm thinking, I'll draw unemployment for awhile, get my chickens good and going, get my garden going, and then go look for another job. I think this may end up being a good thing. Maybe I will actually end up with a decent job with real benefits! I could really use some prayers or good vibes, or whatever it is you believe in!

That sucks!

You have a great attitude though. Maybe it is time for some extra education?

Even with the "lost" generation it is better to have a college degree(I am not saying you don't).

Hawaiian pinaple is a tomato!! LOL - I chose it vecause it grows in the tropics.

I included mostly high heat and tropical varieties but a couple of bigger tomatoes as well. Its worth a shot

I dont have access to hay bales or a baler. none in the tropics

Chocolate Cherry are delicious and a hybrid Sungolds are so sweet. Both Cherry tomotoes. They grow well in the hot humid south where our farm is located.

So sorry about the job. It sounds like you are already trying to turn lemons into lemonade... having a plan and a optimistic outlook it a very good start.

GOTCHA

However a little time to enjoy spring can't be all bad.

also prayers to all you in the path of these storms. Please stay safe!!!

Fox news is showing right now a poultry farm in Greenville Texas that got hit hard and it's a mess. the owner says he lost probably half his birds and the rest are running everywhere because all his coops are just gone. The house survived but his vehicles are trashed and everything's a mess.
