Little mushrooms are popping up everywhere in our flower garden. To me that just means that the soil is too wet. Flowers look good but the mushrooms have to go. Anyone else had this problem?
Well I have not had to water my plants or flowers in about four days. It has rained so hard here for a week! It's been raining almost daily for 20 days, I swear. How's your weather been?
So there are times when my children get water from the kitchen sink and use it on the flower boxes. I've noticed that some of the flowers look like they are dying. Do you think it could be from the salt in the water from the water softener?
My children have decided that they want to be picky, finicky eaters. I don't know why they decided this but we aren't letting them off that easy. What do you do to try to get your children to try new things?
Something is spooking our chickens at night. Honestly it looks like bear tracks and the digging of bears. We have never had this problem before. Do bears come out at night? Do they bother chickens?
Anyone in the business here of selling flowers? We decided that we are going to try our hand at it this year. We are going to grow mums, tulips, hyacinths and lilies. Those seem to be the big sellers in our area.
Is the Easter bunny ready at your house? I've assembled all the baskets and the bunny is ready. The kids put out carrots already in hopes they will bring the bunny.
I haven't decided where we will hide the baskets yet.
Spring is almost here. We took the snow fences down today. We have all of our fields planned out. We are changing things up a bit so I'm excited this year. I can smell spring in the air!
Have you or are you getting a COVID-19 vaccine? If you did, did you have a reaction? If you aren't, why not?
I had my first dose yesterday and so far so good.
I want to attract more yellow finches this spring and summer. I've never used thistle before (on it's own). The birdseed we buy has a bit in the mixture. Do you think I should buy a bag of thistle and add to the other birdseed? How do I attract more finches?
How do you know if you have food poisoning? Would certain foods bother one person and not another. My husband and I both ate the same meal from a local pizza place. He's sicker than a dog, I'm fine. He thinks it is food poisoning.
We have so much snow right now! The kids are loving it. They have been sledding and having snowball fights. We're having a snowman making contest tomorrow. Anyone else get a lot of snow?
I would love to try growing asparagus this next season. What do I need to know about it? How much room does it take and is it easy to grow? I'd like to grow enough for our family and to sell at the market.
My sister-in-law is going to come over and help set up a simple online website for us. I'm pretty excited about this. We've decided to take orders and payments online. Wish us luck!
I love working at home but I like working outside the home too. Right now I'm so busy with the outside the home job that I'm not helping as much at home and on the farm. I do feel bad, stressed mostly.
If you had to choose one gift this year, which would you choose as your favorite?
Mine would be several handmade table runners that my mom made me. I love gifts that people make and my mom is the best!
I've been experiencing wicked bad heartburn lately. I have not changed my diet and I don't drink caffeine. I hate medicine but something has to give. Anyone have any natural home remedies to help with the burn?
Growing up my neighbors always had goats and drank goats milk. We are thinking of getting a few goats for this reason. We have cows already, both beef and dairy. Are there any benefits to goats milk?
What age do you think is the right age for a gun for your child? What type would you start them out with? My son has been asking and that got my daughter asking. I have no issues with both but I'm not sure if they are ready.
Now that's it is slowing down a bit here on the farm, we are looking into going to some trade shows. I'm not sure what or how many there are with this pandemic going on. What shows have you gone to in the past?
