So sorry thistle...Praying that you will have peace in the knowledge of her eternity and the beauty and fullness that now surrounds her.

Boy...I am no pig expert by far! We have 4 in there. The area is pretty big. I'm guessing you could put up to 10 in there. I wouldn't want to, we like them to have room. But I think you could. Last year we had some big trees in the pig pen area (different area from this year) they dug...

We keep things pretty simple around here. Cattle panels with one strand of hot wire around the bottom (about 2 inches out from the cattle panel). We have a hut for them that last year they slept in. We put hay in there and they loved it. This year we had some junk round bales, so we put one...

Thanks ya'll! Yes, for us the one and done method is going to work great. They are funny little ladies. (just by chance we got all girls this time around) And journey, I am glad we could give a visual of "slop!" haha BJ, I will try and get a picture of our full set up for them when I get...

hahaha They are happy piggies! I don't remember if I got it on video or not, but there were big puddles of tomato juice and they were sticking their snouts in and just sucking it up. It was so funny! lesa, I believe we have about 10 weeks left to go. We are doing it a bit different this...

Our garden in 5a didn't do great. Not a total loss, but not great. Mostly because I didn't have the time to put into it. I did plant spinach, radishes, beets and bok choy about a week ago. I will get some garlic (scape bulbs) into the ground soon and see what happens.

As far as I can tell I already have. I don't think money was ever alive. ;)

Oh that's great that you are going to have your daughter at home with you for a bit! My youngest daughter just got out of the Coast Guard and son in law is still in. They live cross country. I know what you are saying. It is very hard. :( But I am glad for you that you are going to have...

Praying for her to gain strength and ability so that she can come back home to be with you!

Beautiful! :D

I feel great!! Last night as we were eating supper, I said to my husband, we really need a dairy cow. (so I can make cheese, etc.) Last nights supper of Spaghetti Lasagna had home raised pork, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, eggs, oregano and parsley. All that was store bought was the...

I'd have to go traditional with a lawn jockey since it is a "historical" type item.

He is the rarely seen "Constructionpaperwithgooglyeye" breed.

Looks great! I know it is disappointing some times when it looks like you have a huge amount. Then you dry it and well... I bet it will be some of the best tasting thyme you have ever had though. Growing it yourself is the best! Nice job.
