Coronavirus Concern Up

[BarredBuff]

I also intend to buy more feed tomorrow. Usually, I intend to use up every bag before it is 6 weeks old. But... this time... I will buy some extra. I'll be setting duck and chicken eggs within a few days, and want to have the starter on hand. B/C of St. Patty's day, carrots are on sale. Not organic... but... I'll buy some more and can them anyways. Put up about 12#. That should provide enough to carry us through until the garden is producing well.

When I go out later, I am buying pellets and whole corn. Supposedly, those will remain fresher longer.

We have enough, I think. But if we don't, I have pinking shears and several old flannel sheets. Family cloth sounds weird to those of us who grew up with paper, but it's really no worse than cloth diapers, and I dealt with those for years. I've read that the cloth is softer and more pleasant to use than any paper product.

it's probably a good thing sheep are too big...

Plant mullein. It has soft velvety leaves! LOL LOL

another good one is comfrey! also seems to be a good feed for animals once the cold weather has passed...

in a pinch i suppose dirt or sawdust would work, a bit itchy at first butt you'd get used to it... around here there is no shortage of grasses or leaves.

This is not looking good, not good at all.

you know, you don't have to buy into every conspiracy theory that comes along right?

for stocking up and you may still be in for some cold weather, things like oats, sugar and oils are basic energy your body can use to keep warm. may not be a huge amount of nutrients in them, but if that is your only choice for food it works for a while until the fresh greens can come along...

A shame the Sears and Roebuck catalog is no longer published... ..

Ain't that the truth! I just don't know how wiping my butt with Amazon on my laptop would work out...……

I'm not... Like I said earlier. Now is the time to stop fingerpointing and work together.

i now it would not work as a screen saver... screen dissolver would be more like it.

but i think you could probably market it as an organic screen protector in brown and tan colors and artistic patterns.

i wonder if anyone has trademarked dingleberries yet?
