Welcome! Welcome! Sounds like all kinds of fun at your house! Looking forward to seeing some pics...

Mine love the cut buckwheat. Certainly they would enjoy clover. Can't really think of a cover crop that couldn't be given to chickens.

The wood chips are fine for the compost. If they don't completely decompose, they don't cause any problem.

You might have better luck with a harness, rather than any kind of collar. Especially, if the pup is inclined to always have nose to the ground! The whining at night is a tough one... as long as no accidents in the crate- I would ignore the whining. I have a 10 year old dog that sleeps in her...

I find hand picking for the Japanese Beetles to be best. I just wander around with a little dish of water and knock them off into it. The chickens consider this a wonderful treat. Think "bobbing for beetles" instead of apples! Your pea leaves may be yellowing because they are done for the...

No wonder you are "so lucky!"

Looking good!!! I don't have a great spot for hanging baskets, but yours sure are pretty!

I guess I am just old fashioned, but I was disappointed to see her in undergarments, instead of clothes. It seems if you have always wanted to be a woman- you wouldn't be in a big hurry to be sexually exploited? What do I know?

We are really enjoying buckwheat. It is a super fast crop. Into flower in 30 days. We use it as green manure and also just to keep the weeds down, in areas we aren't planting in. The bees love it, and the seeds are easy to harvest.

I am going to say, the tree will be fine. Unfortunately, only time will tell. I have had my fruit trees suffer a pretty good pruning by deer and they always bounced back. Make sure you keep it watered- Good luck and Welcome!!!

Looks lovely! It is no wonder we love gardening! Nice job!

A friend was asking me about purslane. It is being heralded as a cure all. Told him I had plenty to share! It led me to look at pics online of the type you could purchase. The seeds you buy grow a tall plant- the kind that lives in my garden is a spreading variety. If I don't eat it myself-...

Everybody better stop complaining about rocks in their soil- or our friend Steve will post a pick of his garden. Whenever I am tempted to cuss difficult digging...I think of Steve! That man gardens in rocks and grows all kinds of wonderfulness!

Lovely! I have a "thing" for rocks too! My husband rolls his eyes, when I say "Oh, that is a nice rock...go get the tractor." Love the shed and the recycled pond. Very nicely done!

Assuming you have a fence around your garden? I have never had a problem with anything eating my cabbage. You always remove a few outer leaves anyway- so a little damage on the outside won't cause trouble.

One of the many plants I dug from my Mom's garden. I really enjoy them! Mine are just about ready to bloom too!

What a darling! I just adore that red hair! Enjoy every minute with him....

I don't like to keep my hens past 2 years. They still lay, but not dependably. This is the time of year, I start with new chicks. By the time fall is here, my older birds will go to freezer camp- and the young ones will be ready to lay. If I had my "someday" farm and lots of room, I wouldn't...

Wow! I wish I lived in your neighborhood! What a wonderful idea...Future gardeners of the world!

Yay! Sounds like a perfect day! Just remember to take some time and sit and enjoy them...
