My feed store orders from privett hatchery. Since it is the closest (new Mexico) your feed store probably does also. I don't think you will find welsumers but perhaps the barnevelders? I just looked and I have it backwards. They don't have barnevelders but do sell straight run welsummers. They...

Oh hey, be sure to ask your feed store if they can add on whatever chicks you wanted to their already existing order. Mine will do that at no extra charge.

My Marans do VERY well in the heat. And I was delighted to see that they laid the petite pullet egg for only the first week, thereafter laying a lovely large egg. My orps took like six months to bump up to the big eggs.

I am not exactly sure myself but I believe it involves a lot of mayonnaise?

I USED TO have a shady side. It has since been converted to "the chicken area". But I do have certain areas that are somehow more protected. I currently have a tomato plant that has huge tomatoes on it... In January. That particular spot seems protected in winter from frost, and in summer from...

Those carrots are gorgeous! Me? I canned tomato sauce. And very proud of myself too. Delicious AND nutritious. It doesn't get much better than that.

Okay, I was going to keep it a secret because, oh I don't know, maybe if I say it out loud I will tempt the gods to curse me? But I just can't keep it under my hat. I got hatching eggs. Really gorgeous hatching eggs. BCM hatching eggs. I used to buy hatching eggs online and have them shipped...

Defiled eggs huh? Teach me not to proofreader. I'm using my iPad and it "autocorrects" for me all the time. I have done some nasty things in my lifetime but defiling eggs is not on the list. Oh. My.

My weekend was good. Good translates as productive. I was productive and that always makes me feel good. We canned. May I stop right here and say how very much I love and appreciate my husband? 'cause guess who does most of the work? Yep, he does. He preps the jars and helps clean up after. We...

I cried as I read your words. I could just picture you working on a fence with him encouraging you and leading you with his words. I am sorry he won't be at your side, but I'm glad his pain is over and done with. I send you love. Kelly

Total chaos? You will be reveling in it. Enjoy! I can't wait to hear all th nitty gritty details!

At the risk of being boring I am going to say the exact same thing - I got tired just reading what you accomplished. Sounds like someone is feeling waaay better! Glad you are kicking that cold to the curb.

The vitamin c and antioxidants have me wanting elderberries... Usually when I plant anything I am unsure will do well in my, nay OUR climate Cheerio, I plant some on the sunny side and some on the shady side. You might try that to ensure it takes well one way or the other?

Look at those rows and rows of lovely jars! Yummo!

Elderberries sound marvelous. I wonder if they would grow here? I can't think of any berries that grow here, except maybe mulberries, but I don't know that those are a true berry since they are on a tree and not a bush? I love the idea of having berries - I wish I had raspberries; my grandfather...

That store sounds heavenly. My family speaks Spanish in public. I am always surprised at how disconcerting it is to people, as if we are being rude to them. One person finally told me she thought we were talking about others so they couldn't understand us. The truth is, it is our way of 1...

Cheerio - I really do believe in sharing, or what goes around comes around, or paying it forward or whatever people call it. I honestly believe that I will never go hungry or without, simply because I have always shared what I have, and others will do the same for me if they see me in need. So I...

Thanks Bee - it sounds perfect! And adaptable to what I have on hand. I believe we will be having that TONIGHT!

The soup is a definite. With endless amounts of squash, hopefully I don't have to worry so much if I ruin it. I could still feed it to the chickens. Gives me more room to experiment. And pie - pie is a definite. Armando has it on his "list of deliciousness" so I will definitely make him a squash...

Slumgullion huh? You realize I read it the three times thinking it was an idiomatic expression of excitement...finally realizing you were telling me to MAKE SLUMGULLION. I hate it when I am slow witted. So, now off to google SLUMGULLION and hopefully serve up a succulent pot of it. Thanks Bee
