Same here the chickens would eat more of the garden and scratch up the plants more then they would catch the hoppers I think. :hu

How do you get rid of grasshoppers :idunno I've noticed that I have some this year along with some other critters that I pick off the plants and give to the chickens but those hoppers are just to darn fast for this ol' lady to chase after.

I love squash. Winter, summer all kinds. Right now I'm only getting zucchini out of the garden. The yellow will be ready soon. I also have about 6 different types of winter planted. All seem to be thriving except the buttercup. And that ones my favorite with the white acorn trailing close...

Hope you get the rain you need fairweather. 4 bales of straw plus soiled straw from the cow stalls that I've been saving and I still need about two more bales :barnie Then the garden should be somewhat mulched. Not all of it though, figured I wouldn't mulch around the some of the veggies...

Hey fair weather chick how do you freeze your squash? I tried freezing some zuc last year and it turned out mushy. Yes this also is the best our garden has done in years also. Must be this crazy weather. Where you buying a house at Jared? We haven,t seen to many rabbits or coons up here...

We have a lake lot on lost lake, in walking distance from our place. We hadn't fished it for a couple of years. We have so many lakes up here you could almost fish a different one every day. Went for a ride today and found another lake we are going to try out. We use to go to Big cut, its a...

Hot here today so we went fishing :) Didn't catch any keepers but sure did cool us down and enjoyed the catch and release of the gills and a couple bass. My lettuce is starting to wilt bad and the bottom leaves of my beans are turning yellow....any ideas? I thought maybe because I was...
