Oh, I actually hit reply to comment about the scars part. My grandma and grandpa raised LOTS of rabbits -- he kept around 2000 I think at any one time in a huge barn. He definitely had the scars, and so did my grandma. I've been just lucky so far, no serious scratches. I think mine are pretty...

Awww .. Congrats on the bunnies. :) You DO have to get over the cute factor. I have a nice litter of only 3 surviving NZW x Cali bunnies that I've handled daily, just cuz they've been so huge and fat from day one. I'm actually tempted to keep a doe and even a buck from that litter, though I'm...

Thanks for the reply. :) I'm actually not sure about the chill times. They say you can grow cherries a ways north of me, but not here. Still ... Last year I was here on March 21 and it snowed. This year I'm HOPING winter is now over, but we had weeks of weather so cold and icy you couldn't...

I should add a ps as well since I haven't read this thread in a while. All seeds went out when the roads cleared, so if anyone is still waiting please LMK because all should have been received weeks ago. And everyone who was sending me seed -- I did already get it. :)

I told myself I would stop for now. But I'd REALLY like to try some lavender. :) I know I still have plenty of mixed zinnia -- I can sort it by size. I can add to the list later today. :)

This is making me curious? I'm guessing the answer would probably be no, but in case I am wrong ... If you live in an area where you can grow plum, but not cherry, does that mean you could get fruit by grafting a cherry onto a plum? I'm betting the answer is actually no since I THINK the...

Oh, glad for the reminder about garlic. I wanted to plant it this year and don't have any -- expensive to buy it for planting. I've had them sprout many times if they got pushed aside and not used quickly, so I'd planned to try this. I think I'm out of kitchen garlic though LOL.

Just wanted to say that I'm getting caught up too. We've had some crazy weather and most of the last two weeks have not been able to get on the roads. I finally made it to the post office for extra stamps and everything is sitting by the front door packaged up. Our mail has been running off too...

I'm going to have to start growing for my livestock. Feed has just gotten too high ... went up twice since the new year and I'm paying 35% more for most of it. I'm starting to look into bulk, and what I can plant for the animals. I didn't purposely grow anything for them last year, except the...

Hi all, I have acquired a bundle of sweet yellow onion babies. (Sorry, I don't know if these are technically slips, sets, or what? Little bulbs with the green tops, just taken from the dirt it looks like, all tied in a bundle.) They are supposed to grow big yellow Texas sweet onions. We had...

The mixed ornamental gourds, I mean. Sorry, my phone is not letting me post normally.

I would like the Amish Paste tomato please? Of the others, would any happen to be a sweet cherry? or if you have enough of the Amish Paste, just that would be fine. :) Wasn't sure if you had enough of those. :) Offer: Crimson Sweet Watermelon Charleston Gray Watermelon Alaska Pea Early...

I can vouch that tomato support doesn't have to be expensive. I don't really want to post a pic (super redneck style LOL) but I had about 35 plants in rows of 4-6. I used 6' t-posts that were lying around for most of the end posts, with some wooden stakes along the middle of each row. Most of...
