It's utterly frustrating when there is no real customer service or satisfaction from a formerly quality and reputable company. Back during the Covid canning craze, I purchased some lids online, that came from China. Yeah, I know. They all still seal properly. I haven't purchased any from the 3...
Meanwhile, the run renovation by DH is coming along nicely. He is putting up solid roofing so we both can get under it without bending over. Now we can take the tarps down.
I have one leghorn that will come and look for broken eggs every time I open the nesting box lid. If I'm not quick, she...
Her sister has also slowed down on laying, so must be breed and age. Sapphire Blue. 3+ years old. No one else is showing any signs of illness.
Thank you!
I was curious as to what was in her crop, so I did cut it open. Nothing except the cold coconut oil clumps, some residual food, grass, snacks, some liquid and a small, green plum which she had swallowed whole. Nothing blockage wise. Maybe her system just quit. I don't have the heart or stomach...
Watering, weeding, planted beans, zucchini, cucumbers. Can't mulch until we get warmer. Sprayed spinosad on kale and collards. Something in making holes in the leaves.
We have a mole control company hired. So far have caught 3 big ones. The one tunneling through my raised beds hasn't been...
@Shetland lover or anyone else?
Topaz, 3 y.o. Sapphire Blue. She was lethargic yesterday, staying alone and went to roost early. This morning she was hunched down by the feeder. Her breathing seems slightly labored, and her beak is open to breathe. I gave her coconut oil which she readily ate...
That would be Tromboncino zucchini. It's a vine, very delicious, and can also let mature for winter eating. I don't have the fencing for it here, did in Texas. Take that, SVBs!
Thinned apples but not done yet. Watered, weeded, and getting beans, cukes and zukes seeds out to germinate and plant this week. After being gone for a week, came home to dahlias almost all up, tomatoes thriving, more things sprouting. The mole catcher caught the second mole before I left. Cats...
I feel for you. Nasty bugs. I once injected soap water in the stem to kill it. Seemed to work. Glad we don't have those here. Squash grow like weeds. We have a saying that goes like this. Don't leave your car doors unlocked during zucchini season. You may find a bag of them.
Afriend of mine went fishing for tuna years back, and when he came home with 350# of fillers, he made me a deal to can it for half of it. Best tuna (albacore) we ever ate. My brother does the same with yellowfin tuna if he has an overabundance.
Oh, this weather has been great! Left on a cruise last week to colder, rainier Alaska, and so glad to come home to this. Looking forward to warmer days. DH is revamping the run, taking off low hanging wire fence roofing and putting up higher, metal roof. It will be nice to not have to bend down...
