Boy...I am no pig expert by far! We have 4 in there. The area is pretty big. I'm guessing you could put up to 10 in there. I wouldn't want to, we like them to have room. But I think you could.
Last year we had some big trees in the pig pen area (different area from this year) they dug...
We keep things pretty simple around here. Cattle panels with one strand of hot wire around the bottom (about 2 inches out from the cattle panel). We have a hut for them that last year they slept in. We put hay in there and they loved it. This year we had some junk round bales, so we put one...
Thanks ya'll! Yes, for us the one and done method is going to work great.
They are funny little ladies. (just by chance we got all girls this time around) And journey, I am glad we could give a visual of "slop!" haha
BJ, I will try and get a picture of our full set up for them when I get...
hahaha They are happy piggies! I don't remember if I got it on video or not, but there were big puddles of tomato juice and they were sticking their snouts in and just sucking it up. It was so funny!
lesa, I believe we have about 10 weeks left to go. We are doing it a bit different this...
Our garden in 5a didn't do great. Not a total loss, but not great. Mostly because I didn't have the time to put into it.
I did plant spinach, radishes, beets and bok choy about a week ago. I will get some garlic (scape bulbs) into the ground soon and see what happens.
Oh that's great that you are going to have your daughter at home with you for a bit! My youngest daughter just got out of the Coast Guard and son in law is still in. They live cross country. I know what you are saying. It is very hard. :( But I am glad for you that you are going to have...
I feel great!! Last night as we were eating supper, I said to my husband, we really need a dairy cow. (so I can make cheese, etc.)
Last nights supper of Spaghetti Lasagna had home raised pork, spinach, sun dried tomatoes, eggs, oregano and parsley. All that was store bought was the...
Looks great! I know it is disappointing some times when it looks like you have a huge amount. Then you dry it and well...
I bet it will be some of the best tasting thyme you have ever had though. Growing it yourself is the best! Nice job.
Stunning! I especially like the apricot colored double or triple. Whatever it is. It is really beautiful!
I hope that your business takes off for you. I like it when I hear stories of people opening a business just by doing what they love and then it evolves. :thumbsup
This year, I didn't get a chance to weed my large perennial bed at the front of the house. It is ridiculous!! Weeds taller than the bushes, etc. But to justify and make myself feel better. I have stated that I am just going to dig everything up and divide it anyhow in the fall. So why...
Well you just made me feel better!
I had some milkweed show up in my flower garden this year and just decided to leave it. I'm glad I did and I hope some Monarchs happen buy. I'll have to check and see if there are any signs of them.
So lucky...you have an amazing strength to be able to go through this with your spouse. A strength that none of us can really comprehend unless we have been there. For better or worse...you're in the worse and you are hanging in there. I hope that today is a wonderful day for you! :hugs
