I just noticed that :)

I am finally starting on the greenhouse this weekend. If weather does not refuse my plans. ;)

Coop image. Coop floor is welded wire and chain link fencing. So far that has kept the varmints from dining on the flock.
Fertilizer falls through the fence fairly well and sits there waiting on us...

That was one of my favorite setups! One swimming pool, deep end had Talapia, shallow end was a square foot garden. Chickens in cages above the fish pond section.

My greenhouse will not be so self...

Actually not much work at all, the coop is 4 x 8 for the 20 hens, will be adding on soon. So a good seed shovel to mix it up and let it compost a bit before spreading it around the garden. From the...

The coop is 4 feet off the ground and all the droppings fall through the welded wire and chain-link floor onto the ground for composting and use. Our gardens benefit greatly from it. Galvanized...

Well... wife and Little Miss have every one of them named. They do get more than enough food and handfed grubs and grasshoppers and free range every day for a while. They live a good life as far as...

What flavor chickens do you have that eat Marigolds? Ours turn their beaks up at them and go for the cabbage, broccoli, tomatoes spinach and almost everything else. We have Dominique, Ameraucana,...

We plant Marigolds to deter and Dill to attract most years. If I install a hive in the greenhouse I will have two exits, one to the outside and one into the greenhouse with shop dust collection gates...

David,


I like the 100% microclimate setup and rely heavily on the great ladybug and predatory wasps. Whenever a see those egg clusters on a tomato horn worm I smile and let the worm live so the...

Not me David. Butterflies are nice to look at in the wife's flower beds. But do not get near my garden little pretty flappy winged egg layers.
A clutch of eggs near my tomatoes soon turns into an...

Plants having sex! Nice!

Never even considered my chilies and tomatoes self pollinating. ;)

Wonder about my Kiwis, Durian, cucumbers and herbs? Guess most of those may be good with a shake as...

Ricin is some evil stuff! Some of the laws and misc mud coming out of our houses of government is evil stuff.
But, that does not justify, qualify or excuse such action. Vote, easiest way to remove...

David,

Yeah, pollination. Could paint brush it, but would rather not have to.

Starting with a 12 x 16 with the possibility to expand from there.

I am not 100% organic, but I refuse to spray toxic stuff on my tomatoes and ghost peppers. ;)

Maybe since bees are diurnal and some but not all of the pests are nocturnal, I could simply close the...

So after a year or so of thinking about it, reading about it and thinking about it some more I have decided to build a greenhouse. But, I still have a few questions.

I am planning on digging out a...

Here it is. I thought it a conspiracy spin and was certain it did not happen until I called.

Ken,

I applaud your support and praise of a company supporting rights instead of a regime. Too often today companies are rewarded for refusing or denying the rights of its potential customers....

Queen birth is awesome!! You have developed great skill and a little luck and together they equal success. ;)

I captured my second swarm this year and hope the ladies will find my accommodations...

Jimmyq,

I have made Ghost pepper chocolates and they are amazing! The sweet and insanely hot really do compliment each other.

Have also made hot pepper hard candy while trying to make pepper...

Thanks for the warm welcome, we need it with these chilly temps. :)

Just waiting for the cold to leave so we can get the garden going in earnest!
