Good Morning @Tooshay89

Holy moly, I just saw that picture of your breakfast and you put me to shame. I'm not the best cook. My husband makes fun of me and calls me the "one pot and a medium spoon" lady. If it requires more than that, it's probably too complex for me! My crock pot is my BFF.

Good morning!

What kinda turkeys do you have, Chris?

Good morning.
I've got pet quality Midget Whites. Four of five are colored like Royal Palms, so I call them Pygmy Palms.

@casportpony I can't seem to find the dosage for the Valbazen. Would you mind reminding me and I'll just bookmark it this time.

good morning, the dose I use is 0.08 ml per pound of body weight. Repeat in 10 days.

I have THREE boxes of chicken eggs being delivered today, so I'm like a kid on Christmas. My incubator finally got it's life together last night after hubby fixed it for me, so I think I'm going to have about 80 eggs incubating at once. My one serama hen decided to go broody yesterday, so I'll probably give her a few of my eggs to sit on. When I thought my incubator was down, I went out and had a talk with the chickens. I told them that normally they aren't allowed to go broody, but if anyone wanted to, they'd receive a one time pass from me. Apparently the serama took that to heart.

I know it's freezing and snowing in a lot of northern places, but here in FL it's garden prep time! I have a large raised garden, but I'm finally trying to do an in ground garden this year. I tilled up a 20ish x 40ish plot next to my blueberries, and just had a big load of mushroom compost delivered this morning. Now I need to till that in and add some other amendments and hope for the best this spring. I really want to grow sweet corn and watermelon. I can do bush varieties of watermelon in my raised beds, but corn hasn't ever worked well in the past. We'll see how it goes.

Tiny turkeys?? Is that a thing? I must see pictures!

What a pretty place. Hope all your work pays off and you have a wonderful garden. Do you grow strawberries? About time to get Fl. Strawberries In around here.

Thanks! And yes I do have strawberries. The two green stacked containers that are sitting in between the blueberries are strawberry planters. I had a couple of ripe ones yesterday, but my god daughters stopped by in the evening and they were dying to pick them. But I'm anxious to taste them!

Yum! Nice open sunny area. We have too many trees can’t get much to grow here. I will try hot peppers on my patio if I can keep my OEGB from eating on them. She likes to hang out In the back yard.
