:lol: My eye teeth went when I was ten, to allow braces to do their job. :gig I wish we were 20 years younger :old. There are days when we wonder at the wisdom of our decision to do this.:thAll things considered, we love our animals & love living here. We laugh a lot. So, at the end of the...

Thanks Carol. :) Wouldn't it be fun if you could come & have a cup of herbal tea, with Raw Texan Honey, on the front porch??? :hugs

:frow Howdy Annette! Your avatar has some lovely violets! I see you live in Vancouver Island, BC. A friend from high school used to live on Vancouver Island. I believe she lived near Telegraph Cove. She has since moved to Oregon. It's so nice to meet another died in the wool violet lover...

Thanks @Carol Dee! We do love our little piece of heaven on this earth! God truly blessed us, when he led us here! :celebrate we have nice large windows, which allow us nice views of the beautiful land around us. It doesn't matter which window you look out, the views are spectacular! This is a...

:) Thanks @Smart Red. It has been a challenge! Sometimes it is fun & exilarating. But sometimes it just wears us out. :thWe are both retired. :old. But, sometimes we work harder than when we worked a 40 hour week! :th

Hey @Poka_Doodle! How nice to see you here! I'm glad you'll be following my journal here. :D

LOL :lol: @baymule & I are good Buds! :hugs We just chatted, on the phone, this afternoon. I got to "ride fence" with Baymule & her DH, in their 4 wheel Mule. She has taught me a thing or two about building fences, to be sure. :D Our goats came from a dry lot & got goat feed pellets, alfalfa...

Now that we are ready to start growing veggies here, on Devonviolet Acres, I thought I would start a journal to track our journey. Today, I thought I would give a "brief" [:hide] history of how we got here. :lol: We moved to beautiful East Texas a year ago last January, after a six month search...

Gee @Smiles Jr. So sorry to hear about your injury. Its very possible that aquaponics could be the solution to you being able to grow veggies without a lot of manual labor. I'm no stranger to pain. 2-1/2 years ago I had right foot surgery that didn't go well. If I am on my feet for very long, I...

:lol: :yuckyuck :gig @thistlebloom you crack me UP!!! :lol: Well then, maybe I will just post here as our project progresses. Talk about making a "score", we got our garage at Harbor Freight when it was on sale AND we got 20% off. I think we ended up paying $169. :celebrate We actually...

DH & I are seriously looking into using our canvas garage frame to start doing aquaponics. The garage is a metal pipe structure with a plastic canvas cover. It is approximately 10X17X9'h at the peak. We would remove the cover & replace it with UV safe plastic with a mesh core & add wood...

Well, a belated thanks y'all, for your birthday wishes! Wow! Is my face red! I just found this. We are among the country's fortunate ones, who live in God's beautiful land of East Texas. How-some-ever, along with that beauty comes expensive, limited internet/data. So, I have been limiting my...

Thanks, @journey11. I was wondering if that might happen with fresh corn kernels. I will just make sure the kernels are dry before I plant. As far as the soil not being 50° or above, I could put black plastic on the dirt before & after planting, to keep it warm. We are home all day so I could...

I recently purchased some of the Glass Gem Corn seeds, to plant this coming Spring. :weee Since it is so expensive, my plan is to grow this for seed corn only the first year. Well, we might save our a few dried ears for popcorn. :celebrate I know saving corn for next year is as easy as drying...
