Congrats Ralphie! Any idea how it's bred?

Girls attacked another cat this evening on our stroll. It was following its owner who was out with her little daughter for a walk. Both girls dropped wings and started for the cat immediately. They INSTANTLY moved in for the....kill? I literally had to a step in front of them, which gave the cat a chance to escape. I wish I could have taken a picture of the cat...complete disbelief. It was a look of horror! That cat will have nightmares tonight!

Wow. R2elk, did you grow that in the house or your greenhouse? Did you start it from another plant? Will that plant fruit again? Sorry...intrigued...
I realize I have no business complaining about our wimpy winter. My turkeys really enjoy it. I did brave 40 degree weather and took them for a bedtime stroll. They got silly hopping & flapping around the front yard. Two neighbors driving by pulled over to watch. They do bring a smile to the neighbors.

Yeeks! Cold here in the south! Only 27 this morning. Ok R2elk & Ralphie....I realize that's potentially a heat wave for you two....but down here we think we are about to die! HOWEVER...I was perfectly cozy yesterday evening sitting out in the yard enjoying the birds with my favorite lapper Daisy! This is the time of year lappers come in handy. What great hand warmers. Love it!
Yesterday afternoon I found both turkeys sprawled in a sunny dust bath with the two young Speckled Sussex. Funny that those little guys still hang out with the turkeys and not the old chicken hens. I have a 2x4 roost under as large holly tree in their yard. It's only about a foot off the ground. And a favorite turkey hangout. The holly branches droop to the ground so it's well shaded and provides overhead cover. Several times I've found one turkey on either end of the roost with the little SS perched between them. Funny how the little SS prefer hanging out with the turkeys....
