Stunning! What a dramatic plant. When I moved down to VA from NJ, I saw magnolias for the first time. It was one of the few things about the south that I liked right away. (Much of the rest grew on me, though.)
The place I have now in VA is 3.17 acres. It was the same kind of compromise, but I love it and it's really private. We have been looking for something with enough acreage that we can build multiple dwellings as needed for aging parents, siblings, etc. We actually have a contract pending now on a place in Newton Co., Arkansas! (
hard to believe he's still a "baby" at just shy of 6 months old
I think they look normal for eggs that have been laid on their side as opposed to sitting upright in a turner. I almost always use a turner, so I'm not 100%...
Anyone have any insights?

(). It is 33 acres which border National Forest with three springs (one of which is still running in the insane drought they are having) and a tiny solar cabin (16' x12' w/ loft and deck) that we can live in while building our permanent cabin. You can walk right down to the headwaters of the Buffalo River! When we move, it will be me and my DH, his close friend who is a great contractor, and my DH's elderly dad. Right now, the plan is that I'll be going off to school and the three men will be getting various cabins built, gardening, and caring for my chickens. It's going to be an insane half-decade.
