Adding my thoughts and prayers as well. Hoping they get the cocktail just right to battle the cancer and not leave you feeling so sick. We've missed you and hope to see you back to the dirt and the screen on a regular basis soon!
Ginger, Holy Basil, Aloe Vera and Feverfew are also good for inflammation. You could easily make a tea from the Ginger and Holy Basil; Aloe Vera gel/juice is available in many grocery stores. For the Feverfew, I'd recommend a tincture...it tastes really nasty and as a tincture you only need a...
Lookin good Monty! I like your set up and may "borrow" heavily from it ;) We're hoping to get a small (about 5) order of Cx fairly soon and we'll keep 'em in the garage till they're ready to go outside.
Have to agree with Steve on the sexlinks being good layers. We have 6 reds and average...
I found this list on Grow Food Not Lawns...a great site! These will do well on just 4 hours of sunlight per day: kale, parsley, lettuce, garlic, mustard greens, arugula, cilantro, parsley, scallions, turnips, beets, carrots, spinach, chard, potatoes and bok choy.
I've always lived where we...
Yep...collecting rain here is illegal...how dumb is that?? We're gonna do it anyway, of course. We actually buried 4 55 gallon drums and filled them so they're ready. Once we have the rabbitry roof on we'll be collecting from that and it'll run from the collection barrel into our buried ones.

I just found out today that there are varieties of bamboo that will grow in my zone! (5) It's pretty and would be so useful. I did a bit of online research, but probably not enough. Stopped by my fave local nursery and they're going to send me a list of what they'll have available.
Anybody...
I looked at all the new snow that fell on it yesterday and thought "when that melts it'll soak in...that's a good thing" Ugh...another 4 or 5 inches of the stuff...why oh why can't it warm up about 20 degrees and drizzle instead!??
Did do some "prepping" though...found a good buy on some...
Maybe you can get one of those little wheelie cart things you sit on and creep around to garden. It's slow but it saves a lot of wear and tear on the knees. I blew out both mine gardening about 20 years ago...too much squatting. I have to just bend over (hard on the back) or flat out sit down...
