    Is it safe to use the greenhouse yet?

    Its warmed up even more so pretty safe I think. Will definitely put smaller inclosures inside it. I don't have any thermometers or pads yet. Will look into them thanks :-)

    Is it safe to use the greenhouse yet?

    I am thinking of putting some plants into my greenhouse to clear my dinning room table finally. I also want to start some more off in there too. Looks like the coldest at night will be +4 in the next week or so. Also fantastically warm tomorrow at +26. Finally our snow has gone. Just want to...

    i think my buff orp is killing herself trying to hatch these eggs

    She will be just fine. Make sure she has access and all will be well. Make sure you let us know when those chicks hatch!!! I love my chickens

    Ava's melon project.

    I planted water melons this year. Have only one come up yet but still early days. I have mine in pots tho. I will try the coffee filters next year tho that's a great idea. No clue as to how the melons are going to turn out up here in Alberta tho!!

    Thinking spring
