Thanks guys! I asked a couple local "barnyard" groups if anyone had bamboo that I could cut and have, and I've had a few people tell me that I could come and get all that I want! Hubby thinks that doing a wattle fence wouldn't "match" our "theme" that we have going on. He wants to redo all the...
@Nyboy It really depends on the breed as to how good the feed to meat ratio is. If you do a California or New Zealand (or cross of those) or one of a few others, the ratio is fairly decent. If you get a Flemish Giant, it can take them up to 2 years to reach full growth. The NZ I can dress out at...
The soil was pretty warm actually! There were a few that were a bit chilly when I put the egg and banana peel in there (something my husband wanted to try this year) but mostly warm.
Today it's supposed to be 80+! Almost all of the mexico midgets had the starts of flower buds on them as well...

They were growing over the top of our lights and they were beginning to get a little leggy too.
I sure hope we didn't screw up by putting them in this early!
I DO have a pretty cool sister. :-) She said that because of me that she's trying to do more "at home" things as well. She's been getting raw milk (which I'm SO jealous of!!) and making her own butter with it as well. She made some jellies and jams and even some spaghetti sauce from stuff she...
@secuono They are beautiful!! Standard Rex are impossible to find here! Everyone and their brother has minis! LOL We want to get some. Not sure WHEN we will be able to get some since we have to build another hutch and everything. :P
While I do love shastas, I don't think this is one. Maybe though! The stalks are WAAAAY too tall, but they could have been from something else? I did have Shasta in a pot, but they wouldn't have come up and been that big already.
I honestly don't remember! The woody stem looking things have "leaves"?? They're fairly tall, maybe 2' tall? Maybe a little shorter. I have no idea what it is... but I don't know what it is.. but I'm thinking I might pull it??
