    well here is an update... both rabbit mama's are doing great! Babies are fully furred and a few have their eyes starting to open...

    Potatoes/ Seed potatoes....the same??

    yeah but honestly they can still get blight if it is common in your area and the "guarantee" is that they will replace the potatoes seeds... you still have to pay to have the reshipped in some cases as well... and that doesn't help if it's ruined your whole years crops you were counting on... so...

    Potatoes/ Seed potatoes....the same??

    I use store potatoes every year... just give them a good washing about a week before you plant... that way it washes off the stuff they spray them with and they start growing with no problems! I can't believe the prices places want for "seed" potatoes when you can buy 10lbs of regular potatoes...

    Stocking up?? How is everyone?

    butter at walmart is 2.79 a lb... at aldis it's 2.49 but last week at sams club I could get 4lbs for 7.98 so less than 2 bucks a lb! but that is the cheapest I've seen it in a long while! My big thing is cheese! it's 3.30 a lb! and milk was 3.50 a gal last week... for around here that's high! :(

    Drink chicken broth with loads of garlic or take a teaspoon of raw honey mixed with cinnamon that should help with your sore throat... to boost your immune system... take lots of vitamins b's, c's, and D's along with echinacea (purple cone flower root) and lots of water... if it moves into...

    My DH hates chickens in the house even the cute little ones... so after the first week I put them outside... This is in early spring when the temps at night are still in the 30s...

    You know you are SS when . . .

    You know your SS when... your son gets stung by a bee and instead of running in the house to get the first aid kit, you run around the yard hunting a weed then quickly pick it... chew it up... and spit the green glob out on his sting! (I love plantain! my mother screamed and thought I was...
