She is a very friendly donkey. Walks right up to you and expects you to pet her for the next hour. She rides and leads well also. I also play guitar but with the all the other duties I've been assigned, I don't know when I'll find time to play. Free - What do mean this is only temporary? :th...

OK. This sounds like fun. I can hunt, fish, plant a garden, can, dehydrate, cut and split firewood, build, destroy, :) take care of chickens and goats, skin, butcher (and when I say butcher I mean butcher, not a pretty sight.) I could even bring along a donkey. They make great guardians for the...

I read this a few days ago so went back to get it when I came across this thread. Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) were once native to South America. But people have unintentionally introduced the ants to all continents except Antarctica. These introduced Argentine ants are renowned for...

I'll save a bunch for you. Next time your coming through Pa. you can stop and pick them up. :)

The Chinese buffet we go to on Fri. nights has started saving their food grade 5 gallon buckets for us. They get the soy sauce in them and then throw them away. We got the first 2 tonight. FREE. No better way to save $ than free. :D He said they will save them as long as we want to keep taking...

No Thanks. There are times that I won't be on the computer for a week or 2, then I'd have everyone screaming " How come I'm not on the map yet". But thanks for the offer. :)

I don't know how this is going to look. The text seems a little small. I guess we'll see when it posts. I only did the north, but if it works I'll add the rest of the country as time allows. Nightshade, I think I put you closer to the poconos than you are. I just saw your post that mentioned...

It's actually 2 separate plots, both about the same size. One is sweet corn with a few watermelon plants at the end. The other one is everything else. New this year are 150 strawberry plants and 7 black raspberries. At least with a lighter work load I have more to time to take care of all that...

1850 and 1320 gallons. That's a lot of water for the veggies. :drool

Not really. This was a neighbor of one of our friends. Her father died a few years ago and she decided to clean out the barn because she didn't have a use for all this stuff. In August she is having another one to clean out the other out buildings. We'll probably go to that one also.

OK Amos, since you have too much time on your hands, maybe you can do something I haven't been able to figure out. Since we have over 1000 members, as 2 dream said, " It's going to be a full map before long". I was trying to break it down into 6 regions but the quality of the map degraded to the...

Pa = Pennsylvania. It's the pink rectangle above Washington DC hear the east coast. NY is the green one above PA. Sorry, I didn't consider the fact that you may not be familiar with the US map. :rolleyes: I guess in our arrogance, we Americans just think everyone should know everything about us...

I didn't make as good a mark :rolleyes: but if you look in PA, there is a small arrow in the southern part of the state. That's us. I opened it in paint like Amos did, just didn't make a very good arrow. Our summer highs are in the upper 80's to low 90's. Winter lows can get below 0 but not...

I know I'm a little late chiming in on this, but what the heck. I've lived in 5 places in the last 25 yrs and I planted a garden in all but the first one which was an apt. complex. Ever time I moved I hated saying goodbye to my garden but jumped right in and started over at the next place. My...

WOW!!! They are some serious water tanks. Makes my 250 gal. tanks look like dixie cups. Are they 1000 gal. each?

Went to farm auction on Sat. and picked up a few things CHEAP. :ep Goat milking stand - $2 I couldn't even make one that cheap. 3 foot long chicken feeder with a spinning cylinder on the top so they can't sit on it and leave their droppings in the feed. $1 2 feeders for grain - $0 They were...

I've been humbled in the presence of greatness. :bow

No you don't. With all the animals we have on this board, someone will bring a pig or a goat and we can roast it over the big open pit that you are going to build between now and then. :drool

Tomatoes, potatoes, beets, lettuce, and carrots, are all thriving. Peas were slow getting started but are doing better now. Strawberries were doing great until the robins discovered them. I covered the the whole patch of about 80 plants with netting, so maybe we'll get some now. For the second...

If you live in a flood prone area, they would make great sand bags.
