Celery grows very slowly, the others quicker so that might help you determine. I would take a taste. Def not lettuce! Oh well, surprises are good some times. :D

Our manure pile has a lot of hay in it. A few days last week it smelled REALLY BAD! It did smell like dead something. We concluded that it was the hay rotting under perfect smelly conditions. It usually doesn't smell and after a couple of days, it stopped smelling. (thankfully!)...

Would the two of you take them off or leave them? I'm ok with the idea that they are doing that to put the energy where it counts!

I planted our tomato plants about a week and a half ago. They all looked good. The last two days I have noticed the lower branches and leave yellowing. It seriously has done nothing but rain for the last 2 weeks. Could this be the culprit? I was going to take those branches off. Should I...

I like your idea of phlox. Creeping phlox, garden phlox and I like the sedum idea: very hardy. I also like the clematis idea, the daylilly idea and all the other ideas. You can't go wrong! Like seedcorn mentioned, chances are, once you plant something, you may change your mind. Nothing is...

You could fence them in, pour some corn around the base and get a couple of pigs. They will dig them up for you and then you can have some farm raised pork too! :D Probably won't work in every situation, but depending on where you live and where the stumps are....of course you have got...

Well the saga has come to an end.... 2 momma hens, 2 chicks. A LOT (LIKE 20) ROTTEN EGGS! Yesterday when we got home, I went into the hen house expecting, hoping, wishing, that I would see just 1 more baby. But, it was not the sense of sight that was peaked, but the sense of smell...

We have had rain it seems like every day for at least 2 weeks straight. My first cucumber seeds rotted, my second planting of cucumber seeds seem to have rotted. :barnie I like the rain and I like the idea that we don't have to water the garden. But how about some sunshine. I bet that is...

:lau Sorry! That is my sense of humor too! I'm sure he didn't mean anything other than the fact that you purchased a gate made out of good quality metal that will last and last. Yes on the pictures please!! :D

I am assuming and may be assuming wrong....This means that any GMO food that is produced in Conn must be labeled? Not any food sold correct? And does this include people that sell food at Farmers Markets and such? Just asking. It is a very interesting time in food history right now that is...

Nope. Here I am. They must just keep the hillbillies in a secret section! :lau http://www.backyardherds.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=26625

Not really 100% sure. :( I think that as I suspected. The ones that were on the floor fell out. And the one that was under the mother ???? No idea. Haven't had any more hatch in the last few days. So the last one that hatched #2 is still under the mother in the nesting box. I am...

Your garden is looking great! Healthy and strong :weight . Don't let those pesky weeds deter you!

Well, we have two survivors so far! This is the first one deciding to explore the great outdoors, one - step - at - a - time. It didn't take long before she found out that hanging with the big girls wasn't so bad!

Now that's some corn! Great job!

I can't comment on your dirt situation. :D My avatar on backyardherds is us bringing home our day old Jersey bulls (2) in the back of our Jeep Wrangler. Oh yeah! Can you say hillbilly?!!

journey, sorry you had to have such a rough night. But I am glad that your Boogie is in less pain today and that you get some more time together. I have an old man dog, so I know that time is coming for me too. I try to give him extra loves now and he gets more treats then he ever used to...

Thanks all. I certainly appreciate the art of spinning and things like that. I think it is amazing actually. Currently, it is just not on the list of things "to learn". It is very good to know from all of you though that people do spin with things other than wool. Once I get these dogs...

This is a stretch for me because I know of Sweedish Ivy only to be an indoor plant, but after a second look, could #2 be Sweedish Ivy?

They are beautiful and I agree. How cool is that? They already know where you are and are looking for you. :thumbsup
