I hope you are/were out of the way of the storm that is passing through today. I have a question. I have read in your previous posts that you do fecal on your sheep for parasites. I have goats and I don't trust the Famacha test and hate to just medicate them if they don't need it and make the...

Cat in a tree

I'm a cardboard box (no lid) at room temp in my pantry.

That's what I see too!

One day old duckling enjoying the sunshine :)

I am just catching up on this thread and I am so amazed! Not surprised because I've come to realize how talented you are. You have worked hard! I hope the Cafe is a huge success! Question, what does the name of the Cafe mean in English? 2nd question: can I come live with you just long enough...

What a beautiful lamb and an amazing gift!

I was in 7a but they moved it to 7b. I'm in a frost pocket tho and tend to lean towards zone 6b. My husband found one map that showed it correctly but I can't find it anymore. I don't plan to change anything regarding how I garden.

Your seed saving rack is amazing! Do you ever dehydrate seeds at very low Temps to speed up the process? So how did you meet your DW? If you don't mind sharing, I'd love to read about it. My husband and I disagree about our first meeting. He thinks we met at his church (I went to college with...

Hot peppers are finally coming in! Dehydrated this batch for flakes and powder. The plant on the right has the smallest peppers I've ever grown. A friend gave me few peppers last year and I saved the seeds to grow in my garden. She bought the seeds from baker creek and apparently they are the...
