Wisconsin "Cheeseheads"

Good Evening Everyone....

H&R way to go with the emergency this morning. Glad you figured out what to do right away! What an exciting start to the day, eh!

amyable, I know you will be pleased with Sandhill Preservation. Glenn truly enjoys what he is doing.
I really love the fact that never have to cull any extra male chicks. It makes their hatchery extra special, in my opinion.

I received my seeds the end of January...they sent 2 free seed packets to try. Both pink tomatoes. One was caspian pink and the other was German Head. I never grew pink tomatoes, but it will be fun to give them a try.

The tomato varieties I chose were..Amish Paste, Stupice, brandywine red.
I've grown others with great success like homestead for example.

Seed potatoes will start to appear in some of the grocery stores. I've bought some from festival foods before. Otherwise some of the green houses will offer them also.

Hoping the best for ya yet fordmommy!

Oohhh, I hope Sandhill sends me some extra tomatoes

I had a really tough time getting down to 5!

I'll keep my eyes peeled for seed spuds at the grocery. Wonder if they will have more than one kind?

How close are you to a Jungs, they have seed potatos, so does the local co-op. I know Jungs has at least 5 types, and the co-op has 3

Hmmm, I think the closest one is Stevens Point? I'll have to look it up, thanks BCC!

edited to add, yes SP store is close but still so far away...

You can order online from Jungs; I do LOVE going to their place in Point... actually I love the smell of any greenhouse!

BCC; can you send me a PM on incubating the Quail eggs with the chicken eggs? I do not have the turning adaptors and I do not have a seperate hatching area set up for the quail. Will they be alright with the turner still in the bator??????

I pick my potatoes up from the feed mill. Not a great variety but shipping is horrendous so...I have planted my sprouting reds and have had great luck with them. I get about the same production from them as I do certified seed potatoes...I have a bunch of goldens and whites that my Dad picked up right from the farm in Wild Rose (?) that I am hoping are sprouted by spring so I can plant them. If anyone has started plants in June that they dont have room for I am sure that a bunch of us would like to be the lucky recipients...Hint Hint...I have NO LUCK starting any garden plants...all I can seem to start are house plants! Maybe we can exchange?

H&R I will PM you about a visit to see your bator. Now that I know the Scottie won Westminster I can go outside and water the stock! Goodnight all--Terri O--who is glad to have a day off tomorrow!

House plants fear me. Few problems with outdoor greenery. What gives?

They're all plants.

I'm good with the indoor plants too. Most of my garden plants I buy from either Lind Center Green House or Fleet Farm.

And I was going to say that Jung's you can buy on line or mail order from.

Oh I love Lind Center Greenhouse! You can get some GREAT deals from her! She has awesome plants as well; both indoors and out.

Whoo hoo! The Scottie won!!!! I wish I could have watched it, the kids and I love watching the dog show....
