So where would I find this dormant oil sprays? Do I use it on all the fruit trees or just the peach? We "almost" had peaches last year. We didn't stay ontop of spraying and pruning, so they either grey so close that they rotted each other, the birds got them before we did, or the bugs got...

This is what I was thinking and is often what I am conflicted over when considering providing care to some of my animals. Is it legal? We had sewed our dogs before, with needle and thread and it healed up beautifully. It seems most of the time we have taken our animals to the vets, we end up...

The peach tree is the only one large enough to produce fruit and really the only one I'm taking an interest in. ((The father in law planted the other three, two pear and a plum LOL )) We've only recently reclaimed the peach tree, it had been allowed to grow at it's whim and was too large and...

She was finally let out of her crate for 24/7 patrolling of the barn. I haven't caught her with any rodents yet. Although, everytime I walk into the barn, there's no telling where she's going to be. Walked in this morning and didn't see her and finally heard her meow(she's extremely talkative)...

Raw is better. Just be careful and informed. :) Healthy cows/goats and healthy practices, make for healthy raw milk.

How old are the "kids"? Raw milk has many more benefits than pasteurized, BUT it completely depends on the animal and milker. The animal must be healthy, and the milker/owner/handler must be very health concious, sanitizing equipment and avoid contaminating the milk in any way. So in general...

Oh, I want my big girl garden now. It will be a couple of years before Adam and I have our own place and can start tilling up the backyard. LOL Tilling the soil in our yard is nigh impossible, because when the in-laws first bought the place it looked like someone took a bulldozer to a trailer...

I googled and searched for a good 15-20 minutes, I couldn't find a nice wall calender that I wanted. The one in the first link was closest to what I wanted. I wanted a moon gardening wall calender, but at the same time, I wanted one with pretty pictures. LOL So, I think next time I'm out and...

Where did you get your moon calender? We haven't gotten a calender for this year yet, so now that I'm thinking about it, I think I would like a wall calender. I'm off to google. :D

She's quite fearless for her size. Ran up to the horses and they didn't know how to react. Then we were watching from the house as the geese crowded around the barn, waiting to be fed no doubt and you could see her white spots in the shadow just under the barn wall and then when all was still...

Okay, we have pictures! I was out in the roundpen with the horse today and she decided she was going to come out and steal the show. LOL

I think Marans egg sellers are some of the worst for it, they'll post a pic on their advertisement that you've seen countless times on the internet. And even then, it's not a big deal to me as long as you state that it is only an example and not your picture. But you see people selling eggs...

Her name is Avelyn(or sounded like what the person said) and they said she knew her name. So I'm not sure if I'll change it or not.

I'll get pictures of her tomorrow. She looks very similar to this kitty. (Picture is not mine, found on google images) Her hair isn't as long as that one, at least I don't think it is, but I think it will grow out as she grows up.

And for heaven's sake, don't post generic pictures from the internet. I have seen so many ads do this and I have to say that between that and horrid spelling/grammar those are my biggest CL ad turnoffs.

I ended up posting a wanted ad on Craigslist for a Manx and not soon after two different ads for manx cats popped up. One wanted a $40 rehoming fee and the other was free. So we went and picked the free Tuxedo Manx today. The online descriptions of Manx cats do them justice, they are very...

Yes, the Farmer's Almanac covers this as well, but since they try to congest it all into a small booklet, it can be hard to read at times. But I am fairly certain this is how the Farmer's Almanac gets it's dates and calenders organized. These websites are probably more easily read and...

Wow! I didn't know you could buy "villages"! Those are pretty cool. I think I could live in a community, if I was the one that set it up. LOL! People I get along with and have similar ideas and whatnot. :)

Yes, give it a try. I like this method, because it's not direct restraining aggression. It's not like some people do and just tie the horse up tight, hobble their feet and do their feet that way. Horses settle disputes by the dominant horse making the more subordinate run until the dominant...

Yes, it is awesome when they behave for the farrier. We condition all our horses for the farrier, but if they are going to act up, it will most likely be once the farrier is here. LOL We had an older mare that would NOT let you mess with her back hooves. She was fine if you messing with her...
