We have a budding gardener

I have tiny green tomatoes, tiny peppers, should be the bells, baby zucchini and baby squash!!!!

I planted some of my peppers, tomatoes and squash too early. They're barely hanging on, but I have plenty of seeds to sow again if I have to. I think the only reason they're not all dead is because Iplanted them all at the pool, so The heat that reflects off the cement kind of has it's own little microclimate there. My potato experiment is slightly successful, but I ran into a weird issue with the second container I planted. GAM gave me some tips about the mistakes I expected I was gonna make. I did, but that was exactly why I did it as an experiment. I knew I'd make crucial mistakes, so I needed to do a test run to know what NOT to do. Next year, I'll be ready.

Lettuces are coming up alright, that's easy. except for the slugs(so gross). The peas are the 3rd time I've tried to grow them, so I'm pleased. I have cucumbers coming up and some green beans creeping up the fence, too. We'll see what happens. All the pics I've posted on instagram have been hashtagged- #blackthumbofdeath!

sums up my gardening skills perfectly. I am a murderer of plants.

Carrots are another thing I can't seem to get right. I end up with all greens and no carrots. LOL
But carrot tops are one of Lucille's favorite anyway, so not a total loss. You got any advice on getting carrots right?

Got the girls a larger dust bath, and they seem to enjoy it ! The Bantam's are not sure if they like it or not.

I've been considering doing this for when the newbies are together with the big kids. AND, I just saw Petsmart has a 3' one for $10. The only reason I haven't yet, is the first dust bath container I had stayed constantly wet every time it rained, despite the fact that it had lots of drainage holes for excess water to run out. How do you keep it dry? Or does it not matter if it turns into a puddle every now and then? I have a corner of the yard, where there is an extra tarp for some shade, I suppose I could put it there(?).
 
depends on what part of west Ga you're in, I guess. I'm in west central, and the only thing I know of was the poultry show that was in Newnan in March, i think. But, I'm still quite new to chickens, so if there are more, I haven't discovered them yet.

my carrots are coming up, loose soil, supposed to be sandy so the carrots don't have to fight to grow, I just tilled extra good and put up a long hill, will post pic tomorrow. I thought it would be too hot for lettuce, so I didn't plant any, so yours is doing good?
