    Sorry you are getting too much rain. Hope it lets up real soon! Wishing you luck with the babies.

    I like this idea! Gray squirrels and flying squirrels chew to enlarge the entry in my bluebird houses. Interesting fact about flying squirrels. They are nocturnal. If you shine a light on them, their eyes glow red. 😲 Took me a while to figure out the type of ghouls were living in our woods. 🫣

    Pulling and backing a trailer is not all that difficult. Just takes practice. Now, the first time I backed the boat down the ramp to put it in the water I was nervous. Other boaters were watching and waiting to use the ramp. They were so nice when they found out I was learning. I'm still not...

    This is great! I do the same. The photo was taken in June. When they get to the top of the post, they just bow over and keep growing. I am sometimes pulling green tomatoes just before frost. That won't happen this year. We had a lot of rain, then Debby brought lots more. We pulled the...

    I would leave at least 3 suckers especially since your season is short. Depending on how many tomato plants you grow, you could experiement a bit by leaving 2, 3 or 4 on different plants and see what you think. You need enough foliage to shade the fruit so the sun does not scald them. If...

    I make tomato cages from field fencing. It has 6 in openings so a hand can reach through. I also use this fencing to make trellising for my cucumbers and pole beans. It has heavy wire that lasts many years. I grow indeterminate tomatoes. I only prune a few sucker's. As the vines grow I prune...

    Sorry, I read it wrong. 🤪 If you wanted to just use string or thin wire you could fan it out like this. Only use 1 eye hook at the top of the post and connect to your existing trellis. Could be done in just a few minutes.

    I have grown clematis on twine or wire. You could put a few small eye hooks or cup hooks across the top wood piece. Then run twine or wire from the hooks to the top of the cattle panel. As the clematis climbs, the twine or wire will disappear.

    I have hasp closures with carabiner clips on my run and greenhouse. I also find them easier to use than slide bolts with gloved hands in winter.

    I used a heat lamp for the first few batches of chicks I raised. Worked great for a lot of babies. Then I bought 4 Marans. They decided to feather pick. I had a time with those. Finally resolved when I could turned off the light. Before I raised any more chicks I bought a heat plate. I also...

    Our coop floor was made from 2 large solid pallets machines were shipped on. We attached them side by side to make a great floor. It was heavy but we put it together in place sat on concrete block to get it off the ground. It ended up about 12x12 or so I think. I then put 2 coats of Black...

    For tomatoes I use home made cages made of field fencing. Tops are contained with a weave of strapping material between the posts. Sometimes I have to tie in a wild branch. That's when I like the t shirt ties. I like the way you grew the squash up right. Great idea. Last years tomatoes.

    I like to cut strips of cloth from old t-shirts to use as ties for my tomatoes and other plants. I find they do less damage to the stems than plastic or string. T-shirt material allows some give when we have high winds or when plants get heavy as they get larger. Plus they are free!

    We used to grow a lot of potatoes directly in the ground. All red skin determinate varieties. We mounded them at least 3 times over several weeks. When they were close to getting ready, I would "steal" a few from each plant by carefully digging in at the bottom of the mound without...

    That was my first thought! I've seen something similar online for growing potatoes.

    That's really awful. I am so sorry. I remember when we never locked our house at night or to go to town. Now we lock everything. Still some people get things stolen. It's sad but true. Hope you can replace enough to be able to build your coops.

    I have Raynards so cold weather is painful. I don't know how many different types of gloves I have. I thought I was the only one with freezer gloves. I also have grocery store gloves for handling cold stuff at the store. I sometimes get looks but anything to prevent that chill.
