    🐝💗Our Backyard Beekeeping Journey!💗🐝

    Our Nuc Day is May 11th. I'm hoping this works out; last year bees were delayed due to the chilly weather.

    Yes! This! When we had Dobes, we started them as pups with the Dremel for nail trimming. Another thing that helped was for me to hold the nail firmly with fingers on my left hand, and do the Dremeling with my right. This helped to dampen the vibration.

    Your 2026 Garden

    Last year, my tomato plants got pretty big in the green house. Enough so that I took cuttings from a few. I rooted them in water and potted them up, and they did fine.

    Your 2026 Garden

    Lots of tomatoes, to be sure. I'll probably do 50-60 pots of them. A few may be for friends, if they want them. I'll do a few marigolds; they seem to help repel some bugs. Though they are attractive to Japanese Beetles, which I gather for the chickens to eat. I'll start some butternut squash...

    Your 2026 Garden

    I set up 48 pots in the green house today. I filled the pots with potting soil and watered it well. I have clear totes over them -- sort of a green house inside a green house -- because we're going to have freezing nights later this week. I also covered the tables with black fabric to help them...

    A chunnel!!!

    Yes, that's the idea. :thumbsup One thing about chicken wire, in case you didn't know, is that it will keep chickens in, but is very poor at keeping predators out. I don't think an aerial predator will get through that, but a raccoon could, easily. If your plan is to contain the chickens and...

    Name 3 Things You Did Or Will Do Today—2026

    My phone says I walked 8 miles... I'm doubtful. I did grocery shopping. I set up 48 pots in the green house. I sat with the chickens for over an hour and read. Squeaky sat on my lap for awhile.

    What made you happy today?

    A gorgeous day made me happy. Getting to the store and home again before lunch made me happy. Getting 48 pots set up in the green house made me happy. Daffodils blooming in the front yard made me happy too.

    I set up a chicken waterer to give the bees a place to drink. I put some small stones in the trough so they'd have a safe place to stand. I saw some there so they found it.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I set up 48 pots in the greenhouse. Filled them with potting soil, and watered them thoroughly. It takes a lot of water to get the dirt moist. I plan to plant tomato seeds soon. I aim for April 1st, and see what the weather prognosticators have to say. The greenhouse is just passive solar heat...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    My jalapenos have been oddly mild for the past two seasons. Normally, I can't eat them, but I've been able to munch them the past two seasons. :confused:

    Michigan Thread - all are welcome!

    Never know what's going to pop up in genetics, huh? One of my Bielefelders (a clean legged breed) has a few little feather tufts sticking out on her legs, down by/on her feet between her toes.

    What made you happy today?

    I hoed up two buckets of weeds out of the garden. It was cool enough that working outside was very pleasant. The chickens liked my offering too.
