Nice! I've got a 12 week old ringneck I found fallen from his nest in my goat pen. I handfed him and he decided to become a pet. You never would expect doves to have so much personality and intelligence, I'm surprised to find he's a lot like a parrot without the biting and moodiness.

I was given a chayote fruit and it sat on the counter a long time while I figured out exactly what to do with it...and now it is sprouting!
Anyone have any experience with these? I want to plant it and see what it will do.
Thank you...I actually found some at an organic food store. I haven't tried cooking with it yet, but I find it really makes my goats produce more milk when they eat it.
Yay! Mine popped up yesterday too, even though I had them planted directly in the garden and it snowed on them last weekend. Now the long wait for fresh homegrown tomatoes...
