    Dreaming of Spring Gardening in the Middle of a Wisconsin winter part 2

    Wish I hadn't looked at Craigslist. Someone about 30 miles away has a 1-year-old Pilgrim gander, free to a good home. The gander lives with chickens, ducks and turkeys, but is the only goose. He's never even been around another goose. Owner can handle him but is concerned he's too much with...

    Jim, if your garage is anything like mine, there's likely enough materials to construct an entire building -- scattered about and impossible to locate until after you've bought more of whatever. Coffee grounds on onions? I've never done that. After buying kohl rabi seeds for my sister, I...

    i wanna know how you got interested in chickens. lets Share our stories.

    Your love for Bunny was a gift for both of you. I've seen the bond between a human and another species heal in a way a person-to-person bond can't. Bunny changed you, and you gave her the best life you possibly could. Losing a beloved pet can be devastating. But, I remind myself that it's my...

    Isn't it true about many species -- our included -- that teenagers are often the problem :lau? Looks like you got up earlier than me today, Jim. I have been blissfully sleeping until after 4 o'clock for the past few days. I hope that continues. Congrats on losing snow and keeping your roof...

    Sorry about your apple trees! I was not familiar with Transparent or State Fair, and Googled them this morning. So, thanks to your unfortunate news, I learned something new already today. Hungry deer used to be a problem when I lived in town, above a creek and a wooded ravine. I came home one...

    Jim, did you get enough snow to see if it slid without removing the roof?? And, please DON'T close your eyes while cutting brackets, even if you can! Carolyn and I got a lot done, but she is suspiciously really busy all through April. Is it possible she doesn't want to come help me again? Hmm...

    I'm glad you're feeling better about your "new life." As always, I am hoping for the very best for you. Sounds like Finnegan is off to a good new life, too. Hope it works out for everyone. It's great that a group helped you rehome him. When I tried to rehome the three strays two years ago, I...

    Nearly new chicken tender

    With two years of experience, you've probably already dealt with enough challenges and adventures that you're a pretty decent "chicken tender" now and can offer guidance to newbies. But, there's always more to learn and this is a great community full of folks who are happy to share knowledge...
