    two of my chickens have died :(

    Yeah, I agree with that. My 3 big girls were inseparable from the day they hatched. Now their little group's dynamic is off. They look so lonely now at night when they roost. I also agree with you about BYC. I joined in 2007 and it was way smaller and nicer - like TEG is right now. You...

    Having issues with my raised bed garden

    Could you have too much peat moss? Sometimes 'compost' is a mix of peat moss and compost.

    Any Secrets to BIG Pumpkins?

    Lots and lots of water and composted manure. Mulch the soil to keep it moist. They need hot weather and water. Good luck!

    Funky new garden pest

    It sounds like four line bugs. I posted a while back about them. They use their little mouth sucker to suck chlorophyl (sp?) from the plants. That leaves little depressed spots on your plant. They are all over my plants!! Apparently sevin dust is the only way to get rid of them. So, I...

    This is its third year. It had one plum last year, but it was on the trunk (strange!) and I knocked it off accidently when it was green.

    Garden Whipping! - Updated: pg21

    They are super easy and cheap to make. I bought 3/4 inch electrical conduit, a pipe bender and 3/4 " connectors. Depending on how tall you want your trellis to be - you cut the conduit into 3 sections. They come in 10 foot lengths, so you might have to use 3 pipes to make 2 trellises...

    How is your garden doing so far?

    Cabbage ?

    I left some cabbage and broccoli stems in the garden last year, after I harvested the big heads. I was hoping for a second smaller head, but what I got was a fly attractant! The stems collected water and started to stink - they were still alive and growing, but they were rotting at the same...
