So, in my asparagus bed, I have 11 clumps of asparagus - Am I looking for the clumps that only make thin stalks? One clump will only make thin or thick stalks, not both? Bc if some clumps make only thin stalks, i may want to dig up and replace all of them (maybe keep 1) to replace with more hoping to get to a vast majority male.Male plants make bigger - thicker spears. Females are slimmer due to seed production. You do not need females for a crop of spears.
Mostly the same with my husband. He's totally fine with the chickens. But, is just tolerating the goats bc teen has them for 4H. He wants to get rid of the barn cat, but she's a good barn cat - catches the occasional mouse and leaves all chicks alone. We've had chicks in the barn for 2 weeks, uncovered at night and not a single one gone. We do not have the space for really anything larger...but I WILL try ducks in the future (husband sighs when I say this), but need goats gone, which is most likely in fall 2025...unless we keep one bc teen still lives here and take full responsibility for it...in prep for this we will likely wether one of the smaller boys so it can be companion if needed.Sounds familiar...DH says no Mules, no Donkeys, no Horse, no Goats, no Sheep, no Dairy Cow, no Turkeys, no Waterfowl, no Peacocks, no more Guineas, no Dogs or Cats right now & I've reached my Chicken & Pigeon & Dove capacity. Rescues...well, I can't say what tomorrow may bring. Lol
That is a good thing to know. The limits to still be able to care for properly.Unfortunately, I truly am at my capacity right now & at least I do realize it
