BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

Both good books. But I think my favorite book of the Bible is probably Ruth.

Do you ever start seedlings for a garden inside? I was thinking of trying that ... I guess that would be January or Feb? I should start sprouts for my layers too.

I love the book of Romans, it is one of my favorites along with Isaiah.

Depends on where you live. I normally start things like tomatoes, peppers, flowers, etc the end of February. Other things I start in March. But I can't really plant my garden until the end of April, beginning of May. Any earlier, and I'd have to worry about frost.

Me and Granny sprout our tomato, cabbage,and brocoli seedlings in a float bed, in the spring. But for peppers usually indoors. Because of their growth rate.

BYC sent out a newsletter explaining they were having a trivia game tonight.

I have a bunch of grain I feed my poultry whole. I bet they would love it sprouted. I have done wheat when they were moulting. Right now I just spread it out on the ground for them. Maybe that explains why there is so much green grass growing out there.

Yeah you waited around on a thread for Debiraymond to post a question and then you had 3 minutes to answer. And of course my computer was slow.

Well it is COLD and SNOWY. I mean bad!! 5 to 6 inches then in places it has drifted up to over a foot!! Im froze off!! I had plans of getting my sprouts ready but I aint got any soil. So I'll have to wait until we go shopping next weekend.
