    How do you properly pick a mushroom?

    "They big aint they?" Inside joke, and after another glass of wine, I may tell that story...but it isn't about flora or fauna, so...NEVERMIND! :gig Yeah, after reading journey11's post, I am going to cut them off above ground next time. There are about 10 more out there that are this big...

    How do you properly pick a mushroom?

    I have a back pasture full of fist sized chanterelle mushrooms that I came across looking for firewood this afternoon. I picked 4 of them hastily and then thought there might be a certain way to pick them so more mushrooms will return/spore. (Also, since I am not from mushroom country someone...

    Giving up the bunnies

    I hear you on raising them for meat and then not having the guts to do them in. My two are house bunnies that I got from the SPCA and have been wonderful pets. But I thought about getting a set of meat rabbits b/c it would be easier than raising hogs or cattle and better on the environment. I...

    pics of your bunny set ups please...

    I think that they run to their burrow when they feel threatened or chased. Their burrow is under the coop and can be closed with a door. Every evening after the chickens have taken themselves to bed, we have to round up the rabbits (who would prefer to stay out all night along with the Rouen...

    Your First Frost of the Season

    Well, I didn't feed that morning b/c I was under the weather, but I do know the deck was frosty. Not sure about the other vegetation.
