Berry prices at our grocery store up here are usually in that ballpark too, but sometimes there are wild fluctuations that make no sense - like a couple weeks ago they had 16oz. packs of organic blueberries for less than the regular 6oz. packs of regular blueberries! Displayed right next to each other! And the organics were no more old/soft/rotten than the others.That is what is charged here also more reason to have your own
There's nothing logical about prices at the grocery store any more, just a general trend of everything getting more expensive.
Does "cushing" mean the way they spit regurgitated food when they get upset? I keep hearing that term, but I don't know if it means what I think it means.I wedged myself behind and under to keep him from cushing and cut his nails. I
Haha, my chore deadline is a bit different, but sounds a lot like yours - a list of tasks that would realistically need a hired crew to get done on time. Of course, for me, the highlighted part is probably what will not get done...I just realized that I have a week to.
Build at least 400ft of A frame trellis
Buy the last of my plants and chick supplies
Clean the entire house
Finish improvements on the coop which I don’t have supplies for yet
Pot up all 300 and something transplants
In addition to my normal schedule which includes work, weeding and harvesting.
I don’t know how this happened but it did.
Wow, thanks, that's good information. I didn't know Gurney's got bought out by a conglomerate - explains why they have deteriorated. The trees I bought from them were the ones that spent several weeks in their box traveling back and forth several times between Ohio and Kentucky before they finally made it here. Those trees are still dormant (if not dead? still not sure) while the ones I bought locally are budding already. I'm still waiting for two nut trees from them, too.Gurneys used to be great but a few years ago they were bought out by another company that also owns Spring Hill and a lot of other companies. I think every company they’ve bought has gone severely down hill as soon as they were bought out. Particularly their shipping. People one the West Coast can still get stuff from Spring Hill somewhat reliably but if you want something shipped to the East Coast? It will take a month to ship and will be dead as a door nail. There are some exceptions but this is generally what happens.
Periodically my workplace puts out random free things they want to get rid of, for people to take home, and tonight I scored some very useful finds: a large plastic tray thing that's perfect for holding seedling pots, a metal bin with a fitted lid that's just the right size for a bag of chicken feed (still need to remove the encouraging workplace messages glued to it) and a mini space heater with different settings that you can put on "auto" and set the temperature, then when the room reaches that temp it becomes a fan, or you can put it on "manual" to either crank out heat or be a fan. It's not "workplace compliant" because there's no automatic shutoff if it tips over, but all the settings still work perfectly! Wish I'd had this before I bought my heat mat and mini fan!
