I am seriously sad I used all my trades on the first day

But wow, the stuff was so awesome. But it gives me time to get my new order of treats from BYC.

May have to some side trades........

Does anyone know what this plant is called? The seeds are inside that spiney looking burr seed. They grow about 4 feet high and bushy, the second picture shows the plant at about 12-15 inches high. They seem to open the flowers towards dusk. If it is something people want I can include a bare root plant in my swaps. In Connecticut it is considered an annual but in higher zones it is a perennial as the bush never dies. In CT in will die once frost hits it so it will flower til then and it usually reseeds itself.

I did not know that the moonflower isn't just the vine. I always see the vine version in the seed section at the local stores. The plants are beautiful growing in the horse field and along the edge of my property. I figured that because the horses have not eaten it that it must be poisonous to animals. I agree with the article that it should be the center of a garden. I am going to put some in large planters on each side of my driveway

Wish I could free range my birds also. All the neighbors have dogs that free range (ours don't), wolves have taken our neighbors calves, lots of coyotes and fox and many feral cats - just to name a few. Just a recipe for disaster

Someone has to fill me in on quail. What is the purpose of having them if they cannot go outside? I see everyone having those poor things in cages or stalls, why can't they go outside?

They can go outside but would not go back in. People eat them, train dogs with them and use their eggs. They are just something different , and their crowing is much quieter than roosters. Some folks make pets out of them.
