    What did you do in the garden today?

    Weeding. Lots of weeding. It looks like the one female squash I hand-pollinated is growing, & another female flower should be open tomorrow! Pole beans are over my head, but no beans yet! Tomatoes still green…first cucumber looks like it’s developing!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    There are specific “pickling” cukes, but you can pickle any. I usually try to grow 3-4 different varieties and I’ll pickle whatever I have the most of! I also cut them early if they are bigger, DD hates seedy cukes with a passion lol.

    Nest box area ideas

    Nest box area ideas

    Our coop is just about finished! A family friend did the build for us, with a few suggestions and requests from me. The nest box he built is not covered.

    Shadrach's Ex Battery and Rescued chickens thread.

    Thanks everyone. My aunt usually does the picking up/holding when we need to examine or treat anyone. I would love to see a pic of one of you holding a LF chicken in that manner (sometimes what I read and what I picture don’t jive). Although I end up with chickens on me often, it is usually...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I just went to the local farmers market/farmstand and bought a bunch of heads the first year. I knew it would grow well in my area since other farmers were using it successfully.

    July 2022 Hatch-A-Long

    I found in my last hatch the biggest indicator of hatching was not air cells or egg shape…the ones that didn’t hatch were the ones that lost the most weight. I had tiny round eggs hatch fine, a long skinny egg hatch fine, and wonky air cells hatch fine.
