Hey everybody! I’m going to be documenting my gardening journey here! I usually get really hyped up about gardening and then end up quitting, so I thought this might help me. Right now I have a window of houseplants in my room (I also have more throughout the house but my mom takes care of...
Hello everyone! The gardening season isn't quite here yet, but with it approaching I'm trying to do some more research on growing. With this in mind, I'm wondering if any of you have tips for growing cucumbers? Cucumbers are something I've planted before, but only had mediocre success in...
Hello gardeners! I see that there is a site called TheEasyGarden, and I'm intrigued by it. Since it is considered a sister site to BackYardChickens, does that mean it is run by the same people that manage this site? Do the forums and threads work the same way?
Thank you for your time,
Recently I was successful in making salt cured egg yolks. This is so easy the average kindergartener could do this for a cub scout meeting. I used a basic salt and sugar mix, let the yolks sit in a divot of that, and covered them with more salt and sugar, set in refrigerator, 5 days later, I...
Hoping to connect with some other chicken/farm/garden folks on instagram! I have been loving documenting our journey and would really like to connect with more folks. I am sunnysidefarmstand on instagram. I live on a small island off the coast of BC, Canada!
As I'm sure many of you are already well aware, there is a major heat wave across much of the US for the next week or so. So my question is, are there any good ways to protect a garden from being damaged by the excessive heat (foliage damage, dehydration, etc), or should you just water it as...
I wasn't able to find a garden thread dedicated to flower gardens, so I'm making one! Show off your flower and ornamental gardens! Outdoor gardens only - there's another thread for house plants.

First time chicken Mom, here.
After loads of research (and yet I'll never know enough), I picked up three E.E.s and three Black Copper Marans yesterday (and yes, I now know I missed the 's' in my handle, but I'm considering changing my name entirely, so I'll fix it when I get my ideal name...
Hello it's day 49 with my 3 ISA brown hens Fomo, Shadow and Shy. They are 10 months old first brought into the family as chicks by my brother, then fostered out to inlaws in suburban/rural free range setup until my life and yard were ready.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first...
The title is my question! My girls are BIG and started laying for the first time ever yesterday!! I'm so thrilled and proud of them. 😂It's almost September which means it's time to start a big garden conversion project. The basic gist is I have a 2000sqft fenced in side yard thanks to previous...

Hi there! I planted all of my plants a few days ago, because it has been in the 70's(Yay!) Now, there is a frost coming, and since my garden is big, I can't cover it all with tarps, blankets, ect. Because it's so big! I have some grass clippings, will those help? Any advice would be appreciated...
I know there’s several gardening threads already but I wanted one central place where I could post my endeavors and not have to post a million different places and times all over the forums hahah so here it goes.
I’m hoping to have a huge garden this year but we’ll see.
So far I have a lot...
