Pooling would be my choice too. Of course there would have to be some agreement (maybe written) about wear and tear on the equipment. I would not want to share fields or animals.

We just put up a couple of new feeders. We put them under a tree. I'm thinking it was a bad choice as I'm sure that squirrels are getting into the feeders. Where is the safest place to put them in a yard?

Interesting for sure. I guess you learn something new each day. I figured they slept, I know pet birds do. I just never really noticed that they kind of just disappeared at dusk.

I think that is a great idea. My wife went looking today for a potted tulip to give to her mom for Easter. No store had one! She is going to go look tomorrow at a couple of different stores. I wish there were local farms here that had them right now.

This is an interesting question. Honestly I don't know how you would know for sure (unless you knew the people you were buying it from). I would hope that the seller would be honest, but you just never know.

Yahoo to getting that big project done. I saw your other post saying you ran out of time before. It's great when the weather breaks and you can knock things off earlier than planned.

So... I've noticed that we don't get many birds at night (at our feeders). I'm assuming it is because birds sleep. I never did research on this but they have to sleep right? Where and don't they feel threatened?

I'm ready for baseball too. I love high school baseball too. I can't wait for their season to start here. I also enjoy MLB, I'd love to go to a game this year. I wonder how that is going to work.

I agree! I think that the US should figure out something different too. China did us a big disservice during this whole pandemic. I, for one, am not buying any Chinese products.

What do you have for Easter dinner? We make ham and a ton of side dishes. Most people I know serve ham. I wonder why ham became the go to meal for Easter around here.

Do you feed your livestock different things during different seasons? We tend to feed then more in the winter than the other seasons. I wondered if everyone does the same.

Yeah, we had our first doses last week. No reaction here either! I've heard the second dose is the one that could cause issues if you have any. I was a bit worried because we both had Covid and I wasn't sure how our bodies would react to the vaccine.

Our local grocery store has reached out to us to offer us "scraps". They have brought us produce so far. The pigs love it! Anyone else lucky enough to have this happen?

I am pretty sure that would work. I would never have thought about it either. I don't have large appliances laying around though. I agree with the others, be careful of neighborhood kids.

I just learned that goldfinches aren't gold (yellow) in the winter. I'm not embarrassed to say that. @ shelbii We do buy a specific birdseed for finches and it does have thistle mixed in. My parents have sock feeders and they only put thistle in those. At times, they get 10 finches at one time.

I have been doing a lot of research on birds and I see others have bird questions too! My farm seems to bring a lot of birds around the house. We don't get too many blue jays though. I read that you should have large, open feeders for them. I'm thinking about building some large, flat (with...

I'm all for helping kids too but I can see the op's point. I work in a field where I see many people abuse the system. They grew up that way and continue the cycle. I'm all for this money to be paid out monthly instead of at tax time.

Oh crud! I've got a friend who owns a vineyard. He had this problem once, he fell ill. It was okay in the end. He just made sure to prune them late winter/early spring.

You will need to find some sort of defining number on the tractor. You can't see a model number anywhere? Perhaps there is a serial number. If you can find that, you can research it online.

I know irises do not change color, but there are several colors you can choose from. I like the deep purple ones (with the yellow inside). I thought hydrangeas did too. I thought they started white. I know burning bushes do, they turn a bright red.
