Neat stuff. I've had tomatoes and potatoes in since early March, finally got last year's corn patch out from under the compost pile, but it's not turned, and nothing is planted there yet. Will be yellow crookneck squash and zucchini, sweet peppers, maybe a pumpkin vine or 2, and sweet potatoes...

They are beauties! Especially Rudy.

I spent the equinox chasing frogs, snakes, bees, especially bees. And I got some. rescued from a house soffit. Happy spring!

Well you could always walk him or take him to the dog park. (we have one of those)

i looked for a like button when i read this. hope the fence works out.:P

The idea of bees, and the stack of 20 hives and medium supers in my dining room, are diverse threads. The idea doesn't involve labor. The bees do not do all the work.... Happy anniversary to your parents! Gypsi

I think this is going to be a good year for bees, at least compared to last year.

I've had vinegar in my eyes before - I used it years ago for conditioner - it was painful. What do I do with my honey? First I have to get some. Our drought killed the forage and starved the bees last year. Mine lasted until the first week of October when they were robbed out by a hungry and...

Guess I'm going to have to buy the book to learn to build one of those heaters! When you finish your coop do you want to build me one? I've got chicks on order for April, to give me time. My last red hen is now having egg troubles, but she's such a sweetheart she and the barred rock are just...

well my outside nest boxes were the preferred hangout in winter before the feathers grew back, but I imagine they are hot in summer.

Where did you find a $20 screen door? Last time I priced the best I found was $200!

ok, what's an RMH? :idunno And Bee, the dogs have to wake me or the gun is useless....

Well, I STILL need to order sweet potato sets and borage. But I've ordered 2 nucs, and all my chicken rearrangements are over on Bee's page. http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/gypsis-chicken-coop Gypsi

Here you go: http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/gypsis-chicken-coop Not updated too recently. The new hen arrangement is much much better. The older hens had my americaunas outnumbered and were hogging the food, and not letting them in the pen when I tried to pen them. On the dog shelter...

check shelters, and BE PICKY. But while my rott mix is occasionally a nuisance and often a klutz, I can leave him loose in the house and know he won't touch the cat chow. ( and I know he loves cat chow) He has no interest in my hens, GREAT interest in possums. I pulled him off death row at 18...

Well, bee, I don't have a grinder. I let them chill in water withacv in the fridge for 24 hours, then Bagged and froze them. I have a crock pot and long work days coming. I froze them whole, so I. Figured On just thawing one And putting it in crock with herbs and veggies before work on a long...

To find an ordained witch, you might try www.cog.org and see if they have someone in your area. My butterfly/bee garden is magical. There is an awful lot of it.

Wow, that was one of the most interesting things I have ever done. All 3 had widespread pelvic bones indicating they were laying at this time. 1 of the 3 hens had huge amounts of fat along her rear, she was full of egg yolks in varying stages of development, probably was laying normally, and...
