Cannot believe this! I take my son and his service dog to the vet and come home to find an e-mail. See, yesterday I had posted on Craigslist asking if anyone was interested in a CSA or farmer's market in this area. The e-mail I just got was from someone who makes deliveries into Denver from what...

Thanks, Lesa. We went to local farmers markets last year and produce seemed to be priced about the same as health food stores. Wish I could sell at farmers markets but it kinda puts potential buyers off when my kid starts convulsing! Thanks for pointing out that we can't "get rich" off of...

I'm researching truck farming (aka microfarming and market gardening). I sell goat milk cheese shares and eggs, and suddenly our customers are asking if we will have produce next year for sale. Sounds like a good idea. We want to do this because we'd like to make enough to pay off house in 15...

Here's what I did: Welded wire with t-posts along perimeter of "dog run" except for where it met the 6' tall wood panel privacy fence. Gate from the driveway. Short gate on the other side by the house to lead where I'm making a "flower and herb" garden. We also used welded wire and t-posts to...

Okay, I've had someone with a bobcat come out yesterday and bucket-scoop and move the rocks along the edges of the little area. Then he smoothed it out. Sure looks different. Poor puppy is so confused because his poo spot is now completely gone. Hubby and I talked about this plan. Although we'd...

Are there free plans online for an easy-to-make trellis that will hold up to high winds and laden-down grape vines? But that will still be pretty when it's kinda bare in the winter? I'll have to make it 7 feet tall because my teen is already 6' and still growing. So will need to be 9-10 feet on...

Wow... that's an amazing sketch! I wish I had that kind of talent. Yes, have several double-hand-sized rocks where the original owners used them to make different levels along the house. Can move several. I usually pile them up for the goats (especially now that we have babies) or to hold...

We have only 2 acres, here in Zone 5, the plains of Colorado. Sandy loam (mostly sand!). Most of our space I can easily plan... paddocks for the goats and chickens, with crops growing in some of them. Areas for a small orchard, berry brambles, nut trees. But there's one place that stumps me...

This is my worst year ever for Tomatoes. Had 4 little "big boy"s. None of my heirlooms produced, or survived the goat-and-chicken attack of last week. Next week I'm starting seeds for tomatoes that I'll keep inside during the winter. My plan is great tomatoes during the most cold of days...

OOoooh... wonderful! Thanks for helping.

Five leaf Akebia (chocolate vine) sounds like it might be too invasive for me although I LOVE anything that has to do with chocolate! Silver Lace vine sounds beautiful but needs partial to full sun ... won't get enough where I'm planning. The Porcelain vine sounds very invasive too. Upon...

Can they re-seed themselves? Trying to avoid buying seeds every year.

I **love** morning glories but aren't those annuals?

I do. But the run isn't built yet so I'm concerned I kill it before I could get it in the ground. Possibly another month away.

Oooh! Trumpet vines are beautiful! Wouldn't be concerned about the chicken scratching as it'll be planted on the outside of the perimeter, along with the berry brambles where the sun will hit. Are trumpet vines perennial? Just as an update, we might also be putting up meat rabbit hutches in...

We are moving our bantam chickens into the garage in time for cold-weather. There's a little dog door that we'll open for them to go into a little run that, unfortunately, will be on the north side of the garage. About half in sun in the summer but a lot less in the winter. The small run will...

Love how TEG people abbreviate my name! Thanks for the welcomes.

I am REALLY impressed. Next time I'm in strasburg, I'll look around for your house .... shouldn't be hard to find what with the cucumber vines climbing to the sky!

Joined all 4. BYC first. Then just a couple of months ago (?) SS, then when I had a goat question, BYH and now, here. I need info from all sites so ... hello!

Heck, I was sucked in years ago when I first grew strawberries in my windowsill for my then toddler to have fresh fruit! I've been trying to figure it out ever since!
