I could but I tend to plant more than I am going to grow. So I just do them in containers and give away the ones I don’t want to plant. Mark

Well yesterday turned into a disaster. The kids and grandkids came over for Mother’s Day and a bbq. Well while I was tending the grill,my 4 year old granddaughter went in to the greenhouse and pulled all my pumpkin plants to give to her mother as a present. By time I got to them they were not...

Yes all 3 were double yokers. Mark

I can see why!!! Our last frost was on April 25. We have had temps in the lower 80’s to mid 70’s during the day and in the 60’s at night. My tomato plants and peppers have been in since early April. Right now our problem has been a lot of rain. But since I grow everything in mineral tubs it...

Well we got another one today. It weighed 4 1/4 oz. I just can’t figure out which hen it is. I know it’s a White Rock but I have 9 of them. That makes 3 very large eggs in 11 days. Mark

Both eggs were double yoke. Both yoke’s were the size of large eggs themselves. Mark

I didn’t weigh the first one, but the second one weighed 4oz. Which was just a little smaller than the first one. So I am thinking the first one weighed in the neighborhood of 4 1/2oz. Mark

I don’t know. I didn’t weigh it, but we got another one today. Mark

Got this huge egg today. The egg next to it is a large egg. I get one this size every few years. The hen that layed it is a Plymouth White Rock. Mark

No I haven’t had any unexplained deaths. The average life span of my chickens has been 5 years that’s when I butcher them for the stew pot. The chickens get out of the run every couple days for about 2 hours. Mark

Well it has worked for me for 30+ years and my chickens are healthy and happy, so I will stick with it. Mark
