Thanks @Mini Horses! I rarely go to TSC and wouldn't have even thought to check this time of the year.

TSC has chicks? Do people usually pick up chicks this time of the year? It seems late to be picking up chicks now.:hu I guess maybe they're hoping these will start laying about the time that the days are getting longer? But that means you're having to feed a lot of non-producing mouths all...

@milkmansdaughter You get my bonus points for 7/26. Use them wi Lol! I'll be very careful not to spend them foolishly!

Those guys keep catching those rats with their bare hands. Crazy!

Not for me, @Mini Horses! But if there's a demand for something, people will supply it! @Lazy Gardener, I'm coming up with 59,048 a year there JUST for Gerald and Geraldine. I certainly could be wrong...:idunno(Actually, If I count their first batch as litter 1, it would be 177, 146 a year...)...

LG, are you starting with only 1 female at the beginning of the year?

You sure have FRIENDLY mice! Maybe you SMELL like peanut butter. :D We've had mice in the cupboards, but we have two cats in the house most of the time, and we rarely see evidence of mice anywhere other than the areas where the cats can't reach. I'll often leave the lower cupboard doors open to...

Hi Tater! :D And, if it hasn't, then one needs to be started. :lol:

Yes, @HomesteaderWife I do. And a few years before that, it was GUSHING. My son went down behind the falls when it was really rolling. Such a neat thing to do!!

It's a neat picture @Chic Rustler! Sooo much going on in a garden that we rarely see!

Here's another option. Rather than focusing only on plants that repel mosquitos, you can intentionally plant things that attract their predators. Here's a video on what to plant to attract dragonflies. https://livelovefruit.com/10-plants-that-attract-dragonflies-for-mosquito-control/ You can...

Mine was past a foot tall, until the chickens got to it!:lol: My neighbor has several avocado trees that are about 3 feet tall that she grew from seed. @Hinotori you'd really like my neighbor. She's got stuff growing all the time from seed. She seems to be able to grow anything in pots, old...

As you wish!:D Khakis are part Indian Runner. This is our Quack Pack: Josie (named after my mom's pet duck, Joey, from when she was 6), Daisy, Graham Quacker, and Matilda.

American Gothic history: http://totallyhistory.com/american-gothic/ I used to have a client who grew up in Iowa and his dad and Grant Wood were good friends. In the picture, it's supposed to be a farmer and his spinster daughter. Actually, the "farmer" was Grant Woods' dentist, and the...

What??? You didn't keep him in your pocket so you could take him out once in a while to talk to him and pet him?? Wasn't that required reading for you in school? What do they teach people in school these days??:lol:

@wyoDreamer I use that same recipe. I've used it for years working with seniors. A whole cake is too big for one person, and this works GREAT! I keep it in their house, and whenever I go over, I can make them a quick dessert without it being too much. Sometimes I top it with peanut butter...

We now have ducks too, and I'm really really enjoying them! During the day, they have free range in the garden. They spend much of their day under the okra, which effectively hides them from any potential hawk. We have runner ducks, and their soft conversations with each other is pleasing to...

Here the most popular beans to grow seem to be rattlesnake beans. They grow well in the HOT humid summers here.

And from Alabama :)

Welcome to the group! It'll be great to hear how much you can grow in your climate with the space you have. My neighbor grows a LOT on her back patio once she's not able to get around much now due to health issues. But just in her small patio she has tomatoes, onions, squash, watermelon...
