1. Here in Tucson, about the only way you can grow them is in a controlled environment. I tried growing them in the soil here, and they were salty instead of sweet! 2. That I am not sure of, but we have naturally very alkaline soil here. If I put vinegar on the native soil it will fizz up! 3...

I have used that wheel barrow for years for strawberries. Just add some compost and steer manure now and then.

Yep... I covered them in chocolate for dessert that night!

Yesterday I gathered these from my "Strawberry Barrow" These aren't quite ripe yet.

I think that would cure me of eating processed meats!

I have a sign above the nest box, it seems to help. But, not all chickens can read.

We ate the eggs! and they were just perfect! Nice dark yolks!

I thought Cream Legbars laid blue eggs? They are charging over $30.00 here for a Cream Legbar cihick!

Yep I am on BYC... Those eggs on the right are wooden to be sure. I hope to have some green or blue eggs when my Easter Eggers start to lay.

It is pouring down rain here in Tucson, so I went and pulled the tarp over the run to help the chickens not get wet.. While there, I just for grins opened the egg box... and I had two eggs! My Black Australorps are the only ones with red combs and waddles so, I assume they are the ones that...

Glad you can have chickens again! :woot I have six pullets, they should lay in Feb hopefully. 2 Golden Sex Link, 2 Australorps, 2 Easter Eggers. Yep, I put up my old coop since I took it down carefully and it is screwed together, it wasn't too hard. Yeah.... NO.... I'd like to keep my...

I am now able to have chickens again! But since Cherokee wasn't raised with them, I have had a time getting him to settle down and not do big "play postures" at the chickens. Well, last week I told him "These are Cherokee's chickens. You need to watch them and be nice to them." Who knew that...

So far, he has never taken anything off the counter. I even pointed to the piece of meat, as if to give him permission to take it, and he wouldn't do it. I am happy really... that must mean he knows it is a "forbidden" thing to do!

Ipomoea carnea ssp. fistulosa http://centerofthewebb.ecrater.com/p/18163589/rare-pink-morning-glory-bush They are really hardy, and grow easily from seed. The seeds are "hairy" and take a while to germinate.

This particular bush is over 10 years old. I have moved it several times, and it stays very happy! The flowers were so pretty this morning. The bush is about 6 feet tall!

October 28th is Cherokee's Birthday! He has slowed way down on his growth. But he is plenty big! He got weighed at the Vet's office today, 105.8lbs. At his first birthday he weighed about 112.5lbs But with our summers, dogs like him don't go out and do much during the daytime. He is good about...

Whenever we had leftover meat scraps, I freeze them in small amounts on a cookie sheet. And then store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Then I can add one to Cherokee's dinner each night. I got the series of photos above while doing this. Cherokee was so funny... He wouldn't touch any...

We can''t have roosters here in the City limits of Tucson. They are pretty! Sorry you had to put him down. Very sad...

Old plastic containers really make Cherokee happy!
