My son's best friend is moving about 30 minutes away (We'll still be able to visit as often as we did before, so it's not sad.) Their new house has a lot of space to garden, and already comes with raised garden beds. Since he is over fairly often, I have gotten to hear all about his likes and...
These tasted amazing! I've heard that corn starts to loose its sweetness the moment its picked, so the best kind is the corn picked and cooked immediately. I think that is right, because this corn tasted really good. Hopefully the rest turns out well, as the rest of the corn looks kinda small...
Things are back on track with Harold! Wearing all pink again, I went out there and did the same treat protocol. I then went in and asked him to do a trick. This time it was a new trick, standing on a platform. He came up and pecked the platform a few times and touched it with his chest, and got...
I'm making a tomato sauce with 3 pounds of fresh tomatoes gathered from my garden. What a difference from last year!! The flesh of the tomatoes were thick, the skin peeled easily after a brief scalding, and though they smelled raw, they had a tomato smell going into the sauce.
I sampled a bit...
Today I went out in ALL pink and repeated the same process. He didn't ruffle or act out at all. In fact, as soon as he laid eyes on me he started making the treat clucks.
I had some watermelon to give Harold today, and decided to try a little experiment. I've noticed that when he's aggressive, it's always as soon as I enter the enclosure. He often starts working himself up while I'm still outside. He's also switched over to "Treats = Good" mode after we've worked...
@flowerbug Do More With Your Dog ( https://domorewithyourdog.com/DogTricks/ ) gives you a title for your pet if you can do 15 tricks on their list. Although I've only formally taught him 3: Sit, peck a target and scratch a target, we can do 15 on the list using his ability to peck a target.
As...
Got another one of Harold's tricks recorded today. I wore a pink shirt and brown pants today, and he immediately attacked me as soon as I came into the coop. I was so annoyed with him I just netted him off from the girls and told him he was fired if he was going to act like that.
Once he...
He loves scorpion peppers but does not like Ghost peppers because they taste "Earthy." Also doesn't like capsaicin additives because they don't have actual pepper flavor. Finding new peppers for him is quite fun.
He's had sauces with Pepper X and Carolina Reapers in it. He loves all things spicy. I love to grow, so growing him hot peppers makes me happy but uh...I don't want to eat them.
It's more finding hots I can grow. Even with a greenhouse my peppers are often stunted. I think the problem may have been top watering vs. bottom watering though, as since we've started that all the peppers have grown significantly and started producing this year.
