    The seed pods can be thrown into their coop. Milo grows easily, good pod of seed. All those crops were grown in dry, hard countries & do well in both poorer soil & drought. They love turnips. Being an in ground bulb type, grow a few. They handle col better than you might think. Mulch, use...

    Think about where you were when you did that...maybe it will refresh your memory about where you put things "away". 🤔

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    I have roof panels that need to get onto a roof. Way too windy -- I'd look like I was on a flying carpet ride. One day it will get done. Been like this all week.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Winds played heck outside yesterday. But did 4 loads of laundry ... Sheets & towels take up room! And even took the time to cut my hair. Boy did I need that! Makes you feel renewed ☺️ A trip to town for 2 new gates & mower battery. Yah! Lawn mowed. Still very windy -- would love it to stop.

    Cornish Cross 2025

    Greece is lovely. Mountainous but very nice. Italy is my choice if ever I moved out of USA. 🤣 Don't see that happening. Been over 25 yrs but, visited all the historic ruins everywhere over there. Even an audience with the Pope. Long story.... Pompeii is amazing.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Yeah, don't need that. My farm, not an issue -- but town nearby is. River runs through, an goes over it with those rain amounts. It flooded in 1999...8' into buildings along there 😣 tremendous losses. I'm highest point on my road, Noah's ark so to speak. But the 3 roads out of here, they...

    What did you do in your orchard today?

    Deer tape -- she's using the pink stuff. I use white for the goats 🤣 if a twist in it, it will flutter in a breeze, they see a height - purely optical fence challenge. Similar to fluttering CD discs in orchard. Doesn't stop 100% but, stops most attempts to jump in. Or, for goats, to jump out
