I've been pretty slack in updates. But some things are going well. Some things are not. All the big kratky tomatoes ran out of nutrient and died. Was tempted to refill but at this point I'd rather just focus on going again with something else. I think maybe if it was just one tomato. I may have...

So a lot has happened kinda. Just today another 56 eggs have gone into lockdown. Next week I'll be hunting around for another heater to use for them since the others have only just turned one week four days I think. The one I helped out of the egg survived but the second one I helped ended up...

UGH! I did it again where I wrote out a post and didn't hit reply. So I just deleted since I bought a table and finally got the babies out. Wasn't a great success rate I think. I'll have to look at how many eggs I put in but I think I've pulled out 48ish and two were in shells stuck. One might...

Well the big incubator was put into lockdown and 2 days later a little chocobo has arrived. As more and more hatch it seems evident that Jake's crew is everywhere. More whites than the eye can see. No pharaohs or other colors yet. I don't know what that means. I mean I would of thought some of...

Hmm. It might be worth playing with then. I never thought of sunflowers being like corn LOL. But it's interesting. My tried growing corn in that same bed and they kinda got to a size and petered out. I hope I've amended the bed enough to sustain the royal velvets.

LOL, all this talk about honey makes me feel bad about not getting some from the local beekeeper. I've never really been big into honey. I don't know why. Never really eat breakfast. About the only time I'm big into honey is when it's honey chicken; then we're talking! I have a feeling the...

Well I'm loading again with 58 eggs. There was around 20 left over I think so if I had more rollers I could of had more. Eventually I want to get to the point of fully loading out the 240 two tier incubator to see how that might go. I need more egg layers though and trying to manage them has...

Thank you for getting back to me. That's good then. I'm waiting on the quail to finish laying for the day and then I'll collect them all and run them in the other incubator. Not sure how many eggs will be there but there was quite a pile when I looked the other day. I'll update this with a pic...

Oh I totally forgot my question. So. I was also incubating the quail eggs but the temp is kinda hiigh to begin with here and they are pretty close so I'm deciding to roll the decide on them as opposed to the chicken eggs. Question is this. If power went out for 4 hrs does this mean my lockdown...

Well tonight the power went out and I haven't been keeping up with humidity on the chicken egg incubator, it started to stink once the power went and I just decided to scrap them and start on a fresh batch of quail eggs so moar and moar quail. I know this is a chicken site but oh well. If my...

Oh you remind me of my time in catholic schools. I was such a brat there LOL. I'd be in detention all the time, hanging out with the principal and trying to steal her chocolates. I remember I was never meant to do the holy communion but the principal kept pointing and ushering and before I knew...

Yeah I think that may be wiser in the end. I love the rails and how convenient they are. I've got so many that I need to start putting them together. One is just a 4m long 90mm pipe with 60mm holes cut into it but the other I bought off gumtree for 20 bucks. Pipes are a bit smaller and the holes...

That really sucks but looks like you've had way more experience than me. I know how to clone tomatoes pretty good but I think for some of the hardwood cloning I know clonex sell a seperate product that's made for hardwood cuttings. Maybe for things like Rosemary. I must say. Slowgrowing things...

I try to put in enough for the life of the plant. I always get worried about getting too close to 2.0ec because I'm usually dropping seedlings in. Like I'd be happy with 1.6 even. Also it's pretty cool that you are cloning your mango. I did that with a lisbon lemon and used aloe as rooting...

Ugh, doubt it. Thanks anyways though!

Well today has been sucky. Lost my keys, gonna cost around 500 to replace I think. Just got my dog back from dental surgery that was 750. Leaking like a siv. The only bright side to today was a little bit of rain. Oh, neighbors dog got out again and attacked Lacy. She's okay, just traumatized...

I did naughta today even though it was my watering day. I know the neighbor will be gunning to dob me in the moment I try watering. Ugh I feel bad but I will read peoples posts to get caught up but yeah. Only thing to really remark is the size of the kratky tomatoes.

On the subject of corn. I have found a new way I like to cook them. I get the cobs from the store with the husk on and then microwave them for 3 mins and bang, it's steamy and ready to go. I suppose I could quickly panfry it after but my big thing is making a sauce that's more interesting than...

That looks really nice! When I went to Virginia I was treated to Kanpai and it was very eye opening. Great food and loved taking back a big chunk of it to mung on the next day. I suppose if I ventured into Northbridge I might be able to find a similar restaurant but traversing the CBD triggers...

Side by side do the babies develop...or not. I'm happy if I get a couple out of there. I'm way more confident on the quail. I tell you what. I love every day removing my nippy broody hen just to grab the eggs. I just close my eyes and think Oh here it comes and boy she's feisty. Her sister is...
