BarredBuff's Homesteading Shenanigans

I dreamt about finding a hidden duck nest loaded with eggs last night.

Praying for you and your family Buff. The Lord has a plan for each of us, and I guess sometimes we have to leave our families for a while to get'r done, eh?

So good to hear of baptisms! Jesus Bless you Buff :>)

Thank you so much Morel.

For a rabbit tractor we took an old dog crate the metal cage ones and put a tarp over it... had a caged bottom so buns couldn't dig out and it didn't mash down the grass too bad so they could still nibble on the goodies! unfortunately we don't have much grass here so buns didn't get to use it much last year... I'm hoping the grass grows in a tad thicker next year after we reseed it again...

I seen a design for a tractor where they used wooden slants across the bottom so the buns couldn't dig out... but that to me seems like it would mash the grass and be heavy... So now since we have more buns this year I'm going to build a bigger tractor out of pvc and use a cheap large holed metal fencing for the bottom we had some garden rabbit fence I bought a few years back it's really light and should keep them from digging out but at the same time not mash down the grass... pvc will keep it light for easy moving!

Wow, lots of potatoes! The cold frames look great too as well as the gourds.

Good luck with the broody hen!

Those potatoes are huge. My biggest hope was made today with the broody hen.

Nice looking taters!

As for corn, I found this in a book I have. You can expect 18 lbs of corn from 100 square feet.

You have scovies, right? Are their wings clipped? They probably would come home, but you know how kids can be I would make sure if they did wander their range was limited.
