What a beautiful chicken. Multi colored for sure. How many chicks are you getting? No frost here this morning. I did cover everything last night and took all the flower pots and baskets to my storage area so they wouldn't get hurt. Picked a bunch more of radishes today. They are so good...

:celebrate What a nice surprise for you

We also recieved a good rain today. Nice and steady. Humid out right now. Been chasing a wayward chicken around the yard today. I think she escaped via the pig pen. Still haven't caught her. Those things sure are fast. :he

:love Love the melon. I've tried several times to grow some up here in Northern Michigan. Trying again this year. My SIL who lives about 4 hours away down state grew some really good ones last year. I kept some of her seed and am TRYING again. Good luck with all that melon...send some this...

Swampducks sounds like you've been busy with the transplanting and new seedlings. I put in some more radish and lettuce seeds today. Looks like the rain is going to pass me by, but Sunday afternoon looks like I'll be getting a storm. Just got to let you all know that one of my little roosters...

:watering Still waiting on the rain here. This evening I put some of the tomato and pepper plants in the ground. Uncovered a couple pumpkin and sqaush plants that were getting to big under the milk jugs. Hope they continue to do as well. Waiting for the beans to pop up. Played Mother...

I know what you mean about that heat wave. I think one of my apple trees will have a couple of apples and that'll be it. I heard that the cherries and apples around Traverse City have been hit hard also. The news had said that the farmers had a good year last year so hopefully won't be to...

:rainbow-sun Glad to hear from you Swampducks. Been wondering where you've been. Sorry to hear about your MIL. Glad she's doing better. Awfully nice of the DH to plant the taters for you. Sounds like the tomatoes are doing great. Mine are just way to small. Went and bought some bigger...

Since the growing season is so short up here I have to start all my plants indoors. Except the root crops and beans. So the frost wouldn't of hurt the seeds...but it did get cold enough in here to get the wood stove going on occasion. I have planted some peach tomatoes this year to try but...

Jared77, I think I was pulling onions to dry the first of Sept last year. I guess you can say around 3 and 1/2 months for them to mature. I can't believe how mine are already sprouting out of the ground. Seems it was over night :) Still waiting on the taters to show some growth above...

:caf Just checking in. Wow no one has been on here for awhile. Are we all busy getting the gardens in ? :tools I have most of my plants out under milk jugs to protect them from frost. I'll be buying some tomato plants as the ones that I started from seed will be no way large enough to...

:ya Glad to have you back Swampducks. Yesterday sure was a nice one. I planted more lettuce, spinach and got my taters in :weight I have alot of huckleberries around here. They are so gooooood! I'm suprised Swampducks that you don't. Hope your blueberry bushes get up to par. Rain in the...

I start digging around in the taters once they are big enough to throw in whole into a boiled dinner or such. DH likes em small and sliced to be fried so we are always digging the taters up. Did I make sense?????? Finally got around to fencing in most of the garden. Little bit more and I'm...

It's 40 outside right now but earlier it was 53! The next couple nights they predict below normal temps, around 25 :( I bought my seed onions and taters today, can't wait to get them in the ground. Last year they both turned out wonderful and I should of planted more. Hopeing I have enough...

That's quite a few lambs. Love the saying "born with sweaters" :love I was surprised to see that my rosebush had made it :rose I believe I've seen a picture somewhere of all your dahlia's. Here or on BYC They ARE beautiful.

Had SNOW here yesterday that stayed on the ground until the sun hit it this morning. My radish, lettuce and spinach sprouts look to be doing ok :rose I'm making myself a note to NEVER no matter how nice the weather is to plant anything in April. I MUST wait till May :tools We were in the...

We've had quite a few chilly days and nights up here lately. It's 36 outside right now. I've been chilled and just can't seem to warm up :( My cheddar califlower that I started has come up. Started indoors of course. First year to plant them. I did onions last year and they were great. So...

:( Chance of snow mix on Monday. I planted my carrots today. I have also started all my squash, cuke, ect plants inside. I'm going to put milk jugs over them once I plant them outside. Mini green house. Did that last year and worked pretty well. Still building the new coop for the...

Oh I've been there. I love the weather around there...not really. The first year we were there in Kennett we had 3 tornados that spring. But the gardening was great because of such a long growing season. In the winter there I can remember a bad ice storm. It's been years though. Anyone...

I enjoy getting together with friends and family, BUT when you have to do it all yourself it gets old real fast. I'm so glad that my DIL has now matured enough to pitch in or have it at her place. What part of MO are you in? We lived in Kennett for a couple years. That was like 30 years ago...
