Thanks, I knew it was a while, but didn't realize how long. No new babies until the end of May then.

I have a question about breeding. We rehomed a mix roo last week, so our pretty white EE is again the only roo in the run with the EE girls. How long should I wait until I collect eggs for the incubator, just to be sure they're his and not the other guy's babies? I think I read 3 weeks, but I'm...

I also have both a raised area and a tilled area in the big garden (80'x80'). We just tilled the whole garden and piled the topsoil from the paths into the beds to raise them up. They don't have any borders and didn't cost a thing. The big plantings (corn potatoes, tomatoes) are in rows and the...

The seed packet should say how many days until it germinates, I would give them a few more days than that, so if the packet says 7-10 days give it until day 14. Then, if they haven't sprouted, try again.

They don't actually need light until they sprout, so I wouldn't put them in the window until they break through the soil. I think they'll still come up just fine, though.

I think they'll probably be just fine. They are all seed that comes up best in warm soil. I know a lot of people use heat mats to get their peppers and eggplants to germinate.

Hi everyone, I'm new here but I thought I'd add my 2 worth. My tomatoes go out much earlier than yours would (in fact they've been in the garden for nearly 3 weeks here in zone 8a) but I start mine indoors, under lights, about 6 weeks before my last freeze date. I use newspaper pots, filled with...

Hi everyone, I came over from TEG and had to join this forum too. Let me tell you a little bit about me, my family and our little farm: I'm a 33 year old stay at home mom, I have the most amazing husband (who builds things for a livivg...and for me) and we've been married for 15 years. We have 4...
