    Senate Bill 510 passed cloture

    I'm trying really hard not to get paranoid and depressed about this. I don't know why I'm so stunned that our elected officials are completely ignoring the people they represent. While I couldn't find anything in the bill concerning seed saving and sharing produce with friends & family, this...

    Not really "buy-sell-trade" yet....wanting opinions on something

    I think if your target audience is a youngish crowd, this could work. They are probably more used to sitting in front of a computer screen to learn. However younger people tend not to have a whole lot of cash to spend. :/ I would pay for a book that had sound info on nutrition and recipes, I...

    Who am I? And who are you?

    I thought Blackbird was female in early 30's. I also thought Justasnack was a young male until I read a post that revealed her gender and went back and reread some posts and thought "Duh. Where did I get that from?" Freemotion I picture as an English teacher -tall, thin, well spoken with reading...

    Turkey topic, questions welcome

    Savingsdog, just wanted to add a few tips (forgive me for butting in, Steve). It seems my turkey chicks were suicidal....I had one drown itself in the chick waterer so I use a quail base until they get past the stage where they fall asleep on their faces. Also, make sure you have a secure lid...

    Turkey topic, questions welcome

    How many generations can you interbreed turkeys before you get defects? I started with 1 tom 1/4 related to 3 hens. They hatched another tom & 2 hens. I want to keep the younger tom because he's even nicer than his dad, but do I need to get him some unrelated hens or can I use any of the...

    Herb trade?

    I'm thinking it would be good to have a piece with some roots on it as well?

    Herb trade?

    Blackbird, I'd love some Fenugreek seeds. Let me know how to get a stem from VA to MN in water without you receiving a soggy box in the mail.

    Herb trade?

    I've got coriander/cilantro seeds and a giant rosemary bush that I absolutely can't stand. The smell of it makes me ill. It was a gift, and even though I've tried to be sneaky and kill it several times, it is the best growing thing in the garden. I'd love to hack off a big chunk of it & mail it...

    Meriruka's Tales - need advice on squash

    Oh, rats. I kinda figured that was the case, I was just hoping someone knew a magic trick that would make dragging 50 sheets around every night unnecessary.

    Meriruka's Tales - need advice on squash

    Well, it's been a while....I just keep working on projects and trying to keep up with everything and it feels like I'm not getting anywhere. For the last month I've been covering what's left in the garden with old sheets at night. I have a huge pile of green tomatoes, a row of butternut squash &...

    No need to worry, the OEGB's do just fine with the big birds. You'd be surprised how high up in the pecking order they get!

    Need Low Budget Kitchen Remodel ideas

    My kitchen has only a sliver of counter on each side of the sink. I tore down the overhead cabinets which made the room look even smaller and replaced it with the pantry (on the left) at a yard sale for $10 & painted it . It holds all my dishes & spices & dry goods. Pots & pans go under the...

    SALE ALERT - Turkey

    Actually, she's the first turkey I've had to ever do this, until now it never occurred to me that Bourbon Reds could fly- so no wing clipping. I will say that free-ranging them is not an option for me, they travel very far, very fast and take forever to round up. The chickens on the other hand...

    You could mash 'em up with a fork, add a little swetener and serve over waffles.

    Help me choose my next chickens

    Chiming in for Orpingtons. The blue/black/splashes are lovely. Old English Game bantams have tons of personality and will want to be involved in everything you do (especially painting)
