I watched Mama Mia on the tube. It's a piece of fluff, but fun. This afternoon, I cut up the stuff I pruned off an overgrown rhodie yesterday, so I could get all into the yard waste container. Cut some chunks off my biggest trillium clump, and planted them under the rhodie. You can never have too many trilliums. Not as strenuous as CL's day, but I enjoyed it.

I discovered that Raintree Nursery has 1'-2' Himalayan white birches for under ten dollars. I ordered 8. I don't mind buying them small since I could never afford as many as I want if they were big. If you're interested in fruit trees and shrubs they are great. They know which ones will actually ripen here in my cool summers.

WOW! You have lot of area to plant?

I'll give you an example how I eliminated some seeds.
Heirloom corn - Instead of buying a lot I only bought one pack [100 seeds] and will save seeds from this year to eliminate that cost next year.
Doing that with a lot of my seeds.
Buying enough to go to my family or chickens yet, saving seeds from this crop for free crops next year.
I just ordered from there last night. It sure gets the juices flowing.

Also ordered at Baker Creek.
And got a few more off Ebay.

I'm done till potatoe seed time.

I hope to buy some of these in the future.............

Scroll down to see an amazing amount of flowers...........

Or maybe they're figuring all three won't work out, and they'll keep the best.

I so get the puppy thing. I am at a point that I really don't like baby puppies. The damage and all the clean up, is often way to high just for a bit of cute. I would much rather take an older house trained dog. I make just enough with the Yorkie puppies, that I guess that I will put up with it for at least the rest of the year.

I think that it is really crumby that they hired 3 of you for one spot. It could be their way of making sure that they don't have to pay benefits. When I hired on at Wells Fargo they would only allow a teller to work for 17 hours a week. That was so that they didn't have to pay benefits to us. It worked for me at the time, because DH has benefits. I know that a lot of the tellers needed the benefits, but it just wasn't an option. I do know that it didn't go over very well with the customers. They lost at least half of their customers in the first 2 years that they were in the Portland area.

You like willows? Check this out. http://www.dunbargardens.com/willowcuttings.htm

I have 5 acres here...the duckles will have their own space and get as poopy and dirty as they want.
Just like the pen of Guineas...man can they drive you insane in a short amount of time...until the Java are big enought o go in their pen, the runner babies will have a place to be in the mud with a built in muck pond.
Probably be dried up by the time they are ready to go out.

Jbear:: show me some good feeder and waterer set ups for duckies...

T-Hi::: Need to give DD a BIG art catalog...will sva eit and give to her when you come down this way again...
ANYONE:: How on earth do you tell a male from female duckling so I can save a black female ??

Chickielady is so tired of mucking pens and adding sand and gravel, but boy is it nice when done.

JB::: I would build the cinderblock boxes on that step edge all around the new concrete ! Wow would that ever be nice, and then let the water rise all it wants !!

The plan is to bring in top soil and raise the the grass level to the lower level of concrete. I also don't have enough sunlight to raise vegetables there. I planted a willow tree just across from the patio. I love that willow tree. I just wish that it was in the corner of the yard, and not where it is. I didn't know that there were so many different kinds of willow trees. We have to trim the tree back several times a year in order to be able to mow the lawn. I got a new chain for my chainsaw tonight. I am going to prune some of the trees around the yard. It should be fun. I am not sure that I can take the cherry tree sown without DH.

I will have to look into ordering from them and see what the quality of the plants are.

Okay I really love their willows. I am just not certain I need any more. lol I know that I have a golden willow tree. It is the willow tree that is in the chicken run that at times I would like to replace. It gets a fungus every spring and looses all it's leaves, it then takes awhile for them to regrow again. When that tree is in full leaf I can't see at least one of the neighbors.

Anyone ever used an LG incubator before?

Yep, without a fan they're worth a trip to the garbage can. With a fan. . . I don't know. I wasted $50 on getting a fan that didn't work.

I'd say go for it though. Those things with a fan included and all are usually $100 and up.
