One of my almost 2yo red sex links laid a small egg recently.

I have grown the orange and red. Only had the red pop up in my compost last year,but I liked it. Mints are my most invasive plant.

Ouch,glad to read you are healing well. I wanted to do meat rabbits too,but my kids won't let me kill any of the rabbits and chickens.Lol,only allowed to eat the eggs.

I have grown red and orange amaranth in NE Ohio. No problems growing it and collecting seed. I agree that cheap bird seed will grow well. You can get various grain seed packets at BOUNTIFUL GARDENS. I throw the seeds from my flax,wheat berry,and oat out into the yard,and it grew well. Alfalfa...

I spent $18 so far,but will get $1 packs at the store once they are out.Might spend another $20 getting seedlings at the county.Then I spend $10 on tomato and pepper plants.

Do your non-gardening neighbors feed and encourage wildlife such as rabbits,squirrels,chipmunks,deer,and so on? I was just thinking about it the other day as I noticed neighbors filling their wildlife feeders.They love all the above animals and more. I see only 2 other people that garden.One...

I hope you get that coon. I got a trap from home depot for $44. To bad there is no temp place you can put the birds until you fix the coop and kill the coon.

I have a red amaranth that popped up in the compost.It is a monster of a plant. I have a few trees that are looking to be apple that I am happy about.

I enjoyed looking at the photos.Got me hungry for some sweet melon! Love the front yard garden!

I would tolerate those bees and tell dh to get a cheap grill for the summer. I have bumble bees in my crawl space and will put up with them until they die off in the winter. I know wasps are beneficial,but I will admit I have killed them when they set up house in areas that resulted in them...

I have mostly cherry tomato,because that is my dd's favorite.Some big types for dh.Growing well,but I am starting to get spots on the lower leaves of most plants.Picked them off and hope the tomatos do well.

Is it better to snip off all the eaten leaves,or just leave them? Jap beetles are devoring my grape plant leaves.I pick them off a few times a day,but they still are doing a lot of damage. I figured I would removed the really bad leaves,but the ones with just a bit of damage would be better...

I have noticed this too with mine.Will get to work on trimming and spacing.

I have a bag of oyster shells for the hens,so I will put that around my yard.I found it very hard to get the slug slime off my hands,so I would probably toss that lettuce in the run for my hens.

I have the red lake currants. I have seen the white ones in catalogs.I did buy some black currant seeds,but have not gotten them to grow.I bet they all taste great!We are picking some today.

It has been a year since I visited my mom,and yesterday she was showing me all around her yard.She already has some tomatoes while my plants are still quite small.Last night she called to tell me the groundhog has ripped down her tomatoes and tore up the zukes. Anyone gotten rid of them...

If they are getting in by climbing a fence I would coat the fence with something sticky like that stuff they use to for apple tree pest control.It won't dry out.Tangle trap.Well anything cheap that will be hard for the kids to remove. If I could catch them I would call the police so they could...

I think I have that weed. I let some weeds grow.Shoot I even PLANTED some like my stinging nettle. I plant for the beneficials too. I know the wasp,but need to look up that fly. I read there is a wasp or fly that will kill the jap bettle,but it is not on the market yet.I am hoping their...

Thanks for the posts! I checked the hole yesterday afternoon and the bunnies have moved out. I may let the dogs loose today and keep close so I can get any they catch,and toss them over the fence. Normally the wildlife seems to avoid my yard due to the dogs,but some like the rabbit who made the...

I have this problem with old and new stumps. I keep cutting the suckers and covering the entire stump with cut grass to heat it up.Hasn't worked yet,so I am thinking of getting a discount (I hope)on having multiple stump ground up. I notice in some old stumps there are holes and char marks,so...
