What to keep me from getting preggers ?????

No, that's to keep me from being all inactive and whiny because my ribs hurt. I laid out some of the NEW and IMPROOOOOOOOVED Bayer (which is pretty good stuff) on my breakfast plate and forgot to take it.

Must be the day for it. The larger offspring showed up to work without the F250, which was no good at all.

I get most of my seeds from Irish Eyes. They are from Ellensburg.
I'm eating lots of kale already. Love em. Got Russian Red, Curly and the Dinosaur kale.
I shall save some space fot beets in october. Just planted some leeks and more lettuce & spinach. Heck, it is still cold out. Cant plant anything else.
Rest of the stuff is under plastic, but the radiated rain is making my plants go crazy.

All 3 boxes are brand new. 8 X 4' boxes, 20+ inches high.
It takes 1 to 1 1/2 yards to fill each box.
Great advise.

very good advise..

And I would love to know what you are planting and when. Right now the only thing I have are peas--shelling and snow, and kales coming up. Oh, and garlic, onions and potatoes. And Rhubarb.. good golly there is a lot of rhubarb. I have been slicing it and freezing it. Till I figger out what to do with it all! lol! Jelly?
I had a good salad mix coming along.. chickens got into it and demolished it in one day. CL~I told you the sad slug story .. slugs demolished the NEXT planting.. lol! can't win this Spring. Aw Well. will replant AGAIN this weekend.. spinach, and lettuce.

I get my seeds from Territorial or Uprising Seeds. Or my momma.

I usually start my kale indoors in Feb, then plop them out when it gets warmer in March or April. I then seed the arugula next to them.
This is usually early april...under a sheet of drop cloth, the disposable 99c kind. I drape it on a few bent plastic pipes.
Then I plant some lettuce under a tunnel of sweet peas.
I find that I mostly eat kale, leek, peas, runner beans and lettuce, although the Jerusalem artichokes were great too.
Then I plant lettuce

You should try stripping kale and adding it to soups, it is awesome, and makes a real pretty addition.

I love it when I put kale in my Ramen, then when the water boils, beat an egg in the soup.
YUM...but I don't eat the Ramen brand noodles...I go for the spicy ones from the Korean markets... DOUBLE YUM. It has bits of dried oysters and kelp adn fish powder in it.
But I quit eating the stuff a year back because I swear the stuff gives me brain fog.

Oh thanks so much for taking a group shot!!! I'd say for sure that the darkest one is blue. But blue comes in many shades from light to dark. Kind of hard to tell on the others if they are a light blue or a splash! Once they fully feather out you'll have to share another pic!

My other buyer emailed me back late last night and said she had one defininte blue too. She was going to try and have a better look at them today and let me know.

Someone also told me that if you take a B1 tablet every day, the mosquitos will leave you alone. Don't know about spiders, though.
I'm gonna try it to see if it works on NO-SEE-UMS. They have been chewing on me so much that I think I have actually lost weight!!!

I take hordes of B complex and that does not work.
A friend insists brewer's yeast (full of B also) and that does not work either.
Only a spider would crawl under the covers & get ya.
Maybe have hubby bug bomb the bedroom..and you stay out while he does it & then change the bedding ?

Yeah, we stripped the bedding, he pulled the bed away from the wall, we dusted/vacuumed underneath, checked for spiders everywhere...I'm hoping we don't have to bomb in there...I had to do that when we first moved up here and lived with his in-laws--they had BED BUGS in their house!

THANK GOD we don't....or I hope we don't....I don't know how they'd magically show up in the middle of no where...I'm guessing spider or some other nasty thing.

Can you take antihistamines? I find them helpful with bites.

Just Benadryl which knocks me out...so I can't take it before I go to work or I can't function.

I am looking for some ee's or true chicks. I would like about 5 pullets. I am letting go of my 2 1/2 year old RIR they just are not laying that much anymore. We like the ee's eggs for eating. I am looking for someone either close to me or that will ship them to me. Let me know what you have.

Thank you!
