My mom has a few ewes with 3 lambs each from the next door farmer.

Hi and welcome from Holland!

I also don't see black spots, I do see holes in the leafs where something has nibbled on them. Could be slug damage, and as mentioned above they will most likely recover from it once outside.

I totally agree! :thumbsup

In my country there is a company that makes soup out of veggies that are rejected by supermarkets or big retailers. They are mostly rejected for not being straight or not the right size. For soup it doesn't matter, and it works great for marketing their product. They also chose their name...

So I have been super busy with the new house, it's become a bigger renovation than we had anticipated. I took 3 weeks off from work, instead of the 2 weeks I planned. Next Saturday we'll be moving all the big stuff, don't know if we'll sleeping there than. The plasters are coming this Tuesday...

Yes, I really like reading your post about taxes! Keep it up! :thumbsup

It's possible, but I really don't know. I always thought they were a mixed breed.

I can't wait to see your lambs next year! I took this picture yesterday at mom's place. Her neighbour brings his triplets to her so she can check if the are doing o.k. I love them jumping lambs!!

Today it hit 70, very nice sunny almost no wind. Was not nice to drive in in our car, too hot already! Also got a crack in the front window.

Congrats on the new addition to the herd bay! Glad he's a gentle ram! When I was maybe 10-11 years old I kicked the soccerball across a creek, so I jumped over the 3 ft wide creek and onto the neighbours pasture. There was a big herd of sheep in it too, we had a few sheep ourselves so I was...

Last month there was a break-in in my mom's small town in broad daylight. The owners got home in the afternoon and realised what happened and called the cops. Police came and checked the whole house but didn't find anything no fingerprints either. So the man of the house heard some noises when...

Bee, why not list yourself asking for old hay? A farmer might not even realise it's still worth something even if it got wet and is smelly.

Already made a bunch plant labels, and got a blister to prove it! My son helped by taking of the bark.

So on monday I had a job interview and on the way back I thought I stopped by at my favourite seedstore, but it was closed. Had a 2nd meeting today, got the job and went again. Treated myself to 2 hazelnut trees, peas Telefono, purple Brussels sprouts Rubine, carrots Flakkeese and courgette...

For me that would not work, I'd forget to bring the list and still don't know what is what. I do have a drawing of the garden where I write on where I planted which variety just in case a marker gets lost. And most of all I like carving and making the markers, it's a great evening job.

Thank you! For longer sticks I use the froe too. And normally I use my carpenter axe, but I didn't have it with me. I use a waterproof marker from Staedtler (permanent) the writing at least a season.

This is how I start my seeds indoors, in the windowsill.

Planted the early potatoes: Casa Blanca, Bergerac, Blue de la Manche, Alouette & Carolus. Repotted most of the tomatoes. Planted the capuchin peas outside. Made way to many sticks to write the plant name on. Still need to whittle them, a smooth surface on one side and pointy on the other end...

The trick is to keep it mulched, then seeds don't get a chance to sprout.
