Put in a pumpkin patch. Pumpkins smother weeds pretty well so you wont even have to worry about weeding that part of it. Plus you can always sell any excess.

That sounds good!

Put in corn....plant pole beans next to the corn so they will use it as a trellis, then plant squash or pumpkins under the whole lot and no weeds!

I'd plant melons too....another thing is to plant a little of something, wait 2 weeks and plant it again, wait 2 weeks and plant it again. That way everything isn't coming in at the same time so you don't have to kill yourself putting everything up.

It'll be awesome!

If you plant the pumpkins, as long as there's no problem w/insurance, you could have people come and pick their own pumpkin. Normally, that's something that people w/little kids like to do around here.

Momma hen (Jap mix) went into hiding and came marching out with 14 chicks in tow! They're mixed with buff cochin and buff jap. Look how cute!!

I need some parenting advise. My 5yr old son is generally good. He is doing great in kindergarten and behaves great in school. He's got a field trip coming up so I told him to be on his best behavior and he can go. I said if he goes in time-out more than 2 times then he can't go on the field trip. Well, yesterday he went into time-out twice. I have a set of rules written and posted so there's no question of how to act. Yesterday he went to the pond in his pj's without telling me where he was! Our pond is 10' deep and a few hundred feet from the house! Then later that day he went out into the woods without telling me. I don't want to take the field trip away from him. I thought he would behave and I wouldn't have to but it looks like I do. What should I do?? It will be so embarrassing for him to have to say goodbye to all his classmates when they leave for the field trip and he has to stay back.

Tell him he lost the ability to go on the field trip because of his behavior BUT give him the chance to earn back the privilege. Of course, if he doesn't WANT to earn the right to go this could backfire on you...

Stick to your guns. Better he be embarrassed than that you lose credibility with him.

IMHO - keeping in mind that I don't have kids but was one once.
