    Things To Know Before Getting Geese

    Yes, the geese do try to bathe in them. And, they are on the small size for geese. Also, I am in Indiana, so I don’t have to deal with the extreme cold temperatures that you get. We sometimes get below 0 temps, but rarely double digits below. Lol, they work for me if nothing trips the ground...

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    This is really awesome! I didn’t even know such a thing existed. (I did know they made storm shelters, but I assumed they were concrete and buried.)

    How is a shed a safer storm shelter than your house? (Just curious)

    Things To Know Before Getting Geese

    I use these: In fact, thank you for sending me on the search. I thought that was a pretty good price, so I ordered one! :lol: Those are not my top most favorite for geese, because they are on the small size. But they work ok for winter. The rest of the year I use various bigger pans. It...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    I guess I’m not familiar with timothy or foxtail. It just looks like some type of plantain to me.

    Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

    When people text me late at night, I get them back by responding at 5:30 AM.🤭 And don’t worry, you’re not punishing yourself by not responding. Those kind of inquiries aren’t really going to buy a goat (or a chicken or whatever) anyway.

    What's for dinner?

    I also do not know what makes up a Southern California pizza, but you should look up Detroit Style Pizza. :drool

    Scat ID

    I was going to say fox or coyote. We’ve had a Fox bothering the birds the last few days, so I’ve been doing some reading up on them. They eat a lot of things. I hope whatever it is doesn’t get your birds. I’m down by two. 😞

    Nascent chicken food forest

    Hard to say about your plant list fitting the way you have it planned, since there is no scale or measurements. But what I will usually do when I’m figuring out where to plant trees and shrubs, is look up what size they could get to and divide that in half. Then make sure there is at least that...

    FarmerJamie - A new beginning

    Well, now you know where the neighbor thinks/would like it to be… Whoever buys our property someday will be completely wrong if they go by me and my neighbor’s mowing line! 🤣 But we have super nice neighbors and I’m sure they will introduce themselves and explain about the tree line, their...

    Thoughts on planting on driveway cut?

    What about some ornamental grasses? Then you wouldn’t have to mow. I have found zebra and porcupine grass to be pretty tough.

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    @farmerjan do you think the little twin got any colostrum? Is it too late to give it some now?

    2024 Solar Eclipse

    DH and I enjoyed it. We had 3.5 minutes of totality here. I’d say it got about as dark as dusk, like when the sun is set but you can still see to lock up the chickens. Speaking of which, I was interested to see how they would act. I wondered if they would go to roost. But no, the switch from...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    I have used a few of the jars of beans I canned earlier this year. They were way mushy! (Still edible and tasted good though.) Next time I am going to do the No soak method you recommended. I am now of the opinion that soaking before canning is way overkill. I also think I will try this baked...
