The Old Folks Home

[ChickenCanoe]

BamaDude!

Welcome back! I guess you can tell we missed you. Try to behave, will ya'? We'd like to have you stick around for a while, hear?

Speaking of sharing plants, do any of the Old Folks have any hardy garlic that you would be willing to share? I have some Hostas to spare, but they are best sent in February. I don't know about garlic, but I think it grows well around here and I use a lot of garlic when I cook, so I thought I'd try some.

I may have some garlic seed. I've been harvesting a little. I plant in September/October.

We ordered a couple different ones from ebay and they all showed pretty much the same readings, so we assumed they were semi accurate, at least to about 5%.

all hygrometers need to be calibrated.

I put it outside for a few hours in a protected location out of sunlight and away from water sources. Then I check the local humidity on Accuweather and adjust accordingly.

NOW I know why I like it here so much......I always was drawn to the bad boys......high school........college.........work (well, that's different).......and now, the Old Folks Home! Go figure.

What kind of garlic do you have, Dude? Do you cook with it? You have my address, right? Do you need any Hostas? They like shady areas but deer eat them like candy.

Quote: Might try that. We had pretty successful hatches though, so I don't think they're too far off. And I'm guessing that since they're all different, if they would have too much error in the reading, it would have given more variation. Two were digital, one was analog.

I just got my first game/trail cam by UPS today. It's a Bushnell X-8.
I also have more traps being shipped. I'll have an old hav-a-hart, two dog proof leg traps, three #110 and one #220 conibear body traps and 12 mink size snares.
With the game cam and the baby monitor I should be able to find out exactly what's going on and be trapping for what's lurking.

I was discussing research on dipping eggs in vitamin c prior to hatching on the incubators anonymous thread

Sorry, Canoe, I missed this the first time. I have never grown garlic, myself, but I see it growing in pastures, so I assume it grows well here. Is it a cool season plant? I really know nothing about it except that I love it on just about anything!

Holy Smokes! Be sure and let us know what all you catch!

I don't have time to read all that so would you mind enlightening me? What would dipping eggs in vit c do prior to hatching? Is that when they go into lock down or on the 20th day?

Wisher i dont have any garlic. I know a place going toward enterprise al that has a sign that says fresh garlic for sale. We are planning to stop and see what they have sunday. My dw found day old silkies and polish chicks in enterprise (hatched the same day as our terrible hatch). She is forcing me to integrate those into my cool chicks flock. I hope she never sees a turken naked neck mutant thingy.
