I have seen a few wanna be basements here built on the side of a hill. They are still mostly above ground, more of a split level home. They tend to stay damp with the odors that go with that.
Water table is so high here. For example, I had to bury an old dog that passed. DH was working and I...
I did not know that Fla had elevations of 200 ft.
Buried?? Basement?
No one in my area has a basement I'm aware of. Dig too far you hit water.
I would love a basement!
I'll be swimming before you. We're at about 50-60 ft above sea level.
If that map showed NC, yep swimming.
Before that happens I need to switch to ducks!
Half my flock is 7-10 years old. 2 of the 10 yr olds have each layed about a dozen eggs each so far this spring. I am amazed!
I'm getting 10 or so eggs per day and it's only 2 of us.
I want chicks and have room but do not need more eggs! :jumpy
Florida does not have a Grey Fox trapping season?
NC has a trapping season, license required. Not sure when it is though.
Here it is also possible to get a permit to take nuisance animals killing livestock as long as it's not a protected species like hawks,etc.
Fox are pretty as long as they...
Those tail feathers could make some interesting craft projects.
***Says the girl with a collection of beautiful chicken feathers and no idea what to do with them. 😂
Glad to hear the little one is doing well.
How many left to go?
Sorry I missed the party. As for marriage, DH and I have been married for 37 years. I can't imagine my life without him! ❤️
No, don't think I'd ever marry again. I suppose I'd become that crazy chicken lady that lives up the...
I always enjoyed RV living.
We had a 29 ft set up permantly on the Pamlico for about 15 years. We stayed there more than home. Home was only 1 hr away. No chickens then. I did have 2 dogs and a cat that went with us.
After a total loss on our home, we stayed in a 33 ft in our back yard for a...
I planted peas this weekend. We've had enough rain to wet the ground with more expected. Today will be an inside day.
I like planting with a coming rain. It helps a lot.
Something to be said about digging in the dirt. It does good things to my attitude.
Glad you got to do some planting...
NC has a lot of info and links to NCSU agricultural dept. They have links and articles on all aspects from varieties, dates for seed starting or setting out starts , diseases, etc pertaining to home gardening.
Of course over time you will learn even more to fine tune all the info. Nothing like...
Check you state agrcultual extension website. They should have advice for home gardeners. Planting dates, spacing, all kinds of stuff that will be particular to your zone.
We have some rain coming too but the temps are suppose to be nice. If I can finish prepping the bed before the rain comes I will plant my green peas this weekend.
I feel the need to play in the dirt.
