    6a/b here. I am planting garlic this week, after a week or two I will mulch heavily with a V down to where the row is, and as the season gets colder, I will increase the center row mulch. Happy bulbing!

    Haven’t had rain at my acres in almost a month in Ohio. It keeps going around. I was spraying my meat chickens lightly today and telling them that this is what rain feels like. The forecast is calling for it tomorrow. Not holding my breath.

    I love the gardens. You tickle the earth and she laughs with plants. I love the chickens. The rabbit with an anger problem and the very skittish quail…well…they have their functions. I was hoping for calmer quail and a cuddly bunny. We have miles to go. Sanity is SO provided by hearing other people walking the same path. It is a solace from the Joe Rogan world. I don’t have my TV hooked up to anything besides a DVD player, and a movie also rarely happens. I love my 5 acres and pond. It was an answered prayer from God. The dog and I lose ourselves regularly in the beauty.

    I asked this question in an admin area post last week. I ‘m all for it! I asked if it could be incorporated with a zone specific weather group. The page picture could be the U.S. hardiness zone map. I thought they kin of went together, so N. MN wouldn’t be trying to grow zone 9 landrace seeds. (Unless they have a walipini

    Some systems are VERY expensive and some are DIY fabulous. I have been lazy and have an actual subscription to grub-terra for 5# every 3 months. My chickens?….spoiled?…of course! I may try a bin next year.

    Don’t you just have to lead ’em a little ? 😁 They remind me of slow skeet. And if it’s “on your property”? You can’t tell me the airspace 15 feet over my house is public domain. Now I am interested in how private airspace is demarcated.

    Hi Tag & Bee,

    I am looking for a place in the “States”-type area that would be divided into growing zones. The header picture could be the U.S. hardiness map to help folks that aren’t sure which zone is theirs, or they can look at more than one if they are close to a dividing line. We could use this to

    #1 commiserate about the weather 🌡️🤣

    #2 seed swap for what grows really well in the hardiness zone (my real motivation)

    #3 another point of connection. Let’s spiderweb up the place with all the connecting lines between folks.

    😭😳I’m so sorry for your water bill! Can you divert downspouts into rain barrels on elevated stands?

    I LOVE the running “to do list”. My husband thinks I am trying to get all of it done TODAY. Nope. 🤣 It keeps me focused on “do the next right thing in front of you”.
