Hey Onalaska is just over the hill from me. About 5 miles away.

Some lady had the nerve to ask me to deliver chickens to Onalaska! Four hours of my time and 12 gallons of gas. Ya, sure, I'll get right on it.

I think we have a few small inverters somewhere, but not sure, and they have to be the correct size..something to do with too much generation over whelming the converter, so a fus system has to be in place, and a power cut off switch in case you have to cut the power for any reason.

BNF I was in missery once in August (Warrensburg) and I have never had humidity here like it was there! I can see why missery is a good place to be FROM.

Peas love cold temps.
I also plant climbers, not bush.
Bush anything gets blown over here (and probably where you are too)
Territorial offers several that do well in the area.
Mine are Oregon Spring, and I save seed every year.
These are pod peas we love for stir fry & fresh in sald.
My Dad has snap pelch, or the shavings out of your coops.
Then I covered them with 3 foot sections of 6-foot fence, bent over into tunnels, cover & staple the plastic on, and forget about them.
vent in each end allows air & prevents any fungal rot...water every so oftem when dry, I have to rip off 1 side of the plastic & in deep winter, use a watering can.
pretty soon you see little garlics peeking out of the mulch, all around you is snow.
The trick is the cloves grow deep roots in winter, under the mulch in the warmish compost..
All winter they grow DOWN.

I had peas.sugar snap peas. Twice. The little jerks ate them

Little jerks as in slugs ?
Bugs?
or peeps ?

I am going to encircle the garden with fencing..and let a flock out to free range in the area.
The rest are allowed up the hill, but NO chickens are allowed OUT in my garden !

No No No!!!

THAT is our food !
And I take it seriously, the cost & work alone.
The food grown will be blanched, frozen, stored, dehydrated, canned or pickled, for winter stores

LOL I had a very old woman call me for Buff Orps last summer, she could not drive any longer but wanted the birds so badly as she had them in her childhood.
She lives in LeBam, not too far from here.
She tried to pay me for gas ($10) but I refused it.
It was nice to see the old woman happy & immediately spoiling the hens.
Does the heart good.
