    What did you do in the garden today?

    Planted 3 Japanese cuke seedlings early this morning in Garden Bed #1 & watered them w/ B-1 transplant shock treatment... hot 90F weather all week this week. 3 Japanese cukes on left 1/2 of Garden Bed #1 W/ support cages & bird-netted to keep out our hens. Tomorrow we plan to plant Sweeter Yet...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Gorgeous trees! On big acreage they have the room to unfurl their beauty. Unfortunately on our small 5400 sq ft property I chose to plant dwarf & semi-dwarf fruit trees rather than large messy shade trees cuz of space restrictions. If I'm gonna plant shade trees & pick up their mess they gotta...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    Planted 3 Japanese cukes early this morning in half of Garden Bed #1 & at 6:00 pm they're still alive in this heatwave. B1 transplant shock treatment watering really is a lifesaver. Helps that the patio roof provides shade from springtime's hot afternoon sun. Tomorrow we'll plant Sweeter Yet &...

    Fluffy Butt Acres: Stories of our flock

    So sorry about the nest destructions/broody attacks. Silkies are a gentle bunch here but I have no idea what Silkie mixes temperaments are like. Weather influence is an interesting idea/explanation. I know overcrowding in the animal kingdoms can bring on turf wars. We have been so happy w/ our...

    TY ~ I'll take your word for it... there are all varieties of freeway trees along the banks & they all mess up our neighborhood 😡

    Tomato plants are very unwieldy fast tall growers. Better Boy is a great hybrid & does well earlier in the summer; however, temps near/over 90F impairs the health of ANY vine veggies. The only reason our garage wall is good for veggie gardening is because it's on the north wall & gets shaded...

    Yes, there are a lot of Maple varieties & I'm fairly sure these freeway landscape leaves are Maple blowing into our neighborhood yards. Actually, these are the best leaves I could get that didn't crumble apart. When I tried to unfurl one it would crack into a zillion pieces... so annoying trying...

    That's wise... it's good to know which breeds are best not to mingle. Bantam breeds can get easily picked on especially the gentle Silkies, bantam Cochins, or Pekins.

    In the American Poultry/Bantam Assns, there are different approved colors for bearded & non-bearded Silkies. The bearded are cute w/their full crests/beards; however the non-bearded vision is so much better for the bird & wattles are not huge or pendulous. Keiko ~ Moorhead (Partridge)

    TeeHee... chickens love anything we don't want them to touch! Tomatoes? Grow the ones that are recommended for your growing zone which is guessing between zones 3-4? As for me I always get the same two varieties for years which are the hybrid Better Boy and heirloom Roma ~ my favorites for...
