I'm stymied in accomplishing that latter goal by the absence of anyone strong enough to lift a bag of potting soil or six now that I have money to buy it.

If we were closer I'd be happy to help ya. I found a nursery here that carries the potting soil we use, and it's only 7$ per 2cu ft bags. Which is like 2$ cheaper than anywhere else I have seen it.

She is a rather strange pup.




She has never been bent on food. She just wants to play!

She's pretty! She looks like a Shiba Inu?

Finnish Spitz - prettier than a Shiba .. but then again we are a wee bias ..

You can mix your owm potting soil depending on what you need to use it for. I havent bought potting soil in a long time and my plants are better off.

As far as our plants and gardens are concerned it is the only thing we purchase. We start pretty much everything from seed here, in January even.

Hi neighbor!

I'm right next to you in the Uplands, but if you look at your neighborhood HOA website/facebook I'm a member there as most of our friends live in the Rim, so they added me to post road conditions on Uplands when it snows. I was so mad last year when they re-drew the school lines and split the neighborhoods into different schools! I'm at the corner of Uplands and SE 163rd, near the bottom of the steep hill. Luckily our CC&R's allow chickens and even cows for personal use. There is nothing banning roosters, and there is not a number specifying a limit on the number of chickens one can have. One of my neighbors loves my roosters, another does not, but she lets her dogs roam, bark, poop anywhere they want, so I am not at all concerned what she thinks of my roosters. She is otherwise a very nice person.

What do you think of all the recent bear activity?

Yeah, I'm stuck with either HD or Costco; they're only a mile and a half away, and anything much cheaper or more virtuous makes up for it in extra gas payments. It's like being a regular at the Tumwater Del's: my husband works pretty literally next door.

I managed to re-bork my rib injury on Tuesday, and at about the same time run out of tolerance for NSAIDS, and my husband of the two-pounds-of-titanium-rods-and-screws is having a bad week pain-wise, and I may have permanently alienated the hired help by forgetting, when she told me she wasn't showing up last Thursday, that it was her thirtieth birthday. For about twenty seconds, after which I apologized. Possibly too late. My initial reaction was less than perfect because it was the day after my son and I wasted three hours looking for my wallet and I was still lacking the items (including potting soil) that he and I were supposed to buy that day.

Ah, cack. I've now sucked myself into the maelstrom that starts out "I'm sure that it was not my father's goal, when he instructed that my cousin would be given a 20% share in this parcel, that I should sit here looking for paid help elsewhere while his teenage sons play paintball in the pasture."

You may say that, but it doesn't get around my inability to lift whatever you're mixing it from, now does it? Unless you have that rare ability to make your components appear from thin air, which I personally have been unable to develop through fifty-nine years of trying really hard. And I am a woman who makes her own boards.

Yes, Kansas and CR, the feed is medicated. That is why I was curious/concerned. I was wondering on just putting them on straight scratch or something to get the medication part out of their body before head chopping begins.

Flock Raiser, or another all purpose, high protein poultry feed for 2 weeks, then chop chop away!!!
