    Xerocles rabbit thread

    Well. I wish I could say all finished, but I'm never "all finished" with things. Still need to install fencing around, don't have water/food containers in the grow-out cages (but won't need them for a coupla months.) Let's just say I'm finished enough to start. So, on to some pictures. Front...

    Why didn't you guys warn me?

    I probably will "predator proof" the rabbit shed....but for different reasons than you are thinking. I'll explain that in @Xerocles rabbit thread in the next day or so.

    Coffee anyone ?

    Maybe Trip saw, heard, smelled something across the fence that you guys didn't, and knew it needed investigated/ dealt with? Good morning.

    Why didn't you guys warn me?

    I planned to use tarps (retractable ) all around. To be raised ot lowered as needed. You must be from Texas or somewhere, talking about that solid north wall. We have the Appalachian mountains to our west, all the way from Georgia below us into New England. Weather funnels around the lower end...

    Craigslist ppl-Grrrr. fencing question

    You have no idea how much I appreciate hearing this. Of course I have zero experience with goats. I have used MANY hours researching online and it's all HORROR STORIES. It's almost like if El Chappo had a goat with him in SuperMax, he'd have no problem escaping. I guess the horror stories sell...

    My garden 😞

    I looked up rareseeds.com That's Baker Creek. I've heard really good things about them. But Park Seeds is a 20 minute drive from me. Do an internet search. Look to be neck and neck with Baker Creek. BC did have a wider selection of "weird" tomatoes.....that I don't think I'd ever try, anyway.

    Xerocles rabbit thread

    I like titles that are "catchy" but I can tell already that this is gonna be a long, exciting (for me at least) adventure. So I thought I'd make the title simple and easy to remember. IT HAS STARTED! Any of you who know me, remember I've been saying for weeks and weeks that my goal for having my...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Sorry I missed coffee this morning. I missed breakfast, too. It was errand (yucky :rolleyes:) day. And it was a backward day for me, too. Weatherman said rain. 72f. As soon as I got the chickens covered, it was off to town. Beautiful, warm, sunshiney morning. And here I was, driving, paying...

    Craigslist ppl-Grrrr. fencing question

    Now keep in mind. This is not like a state park full of mature hardwoods, all picturesque and imptessive. This is rugged, S.E. US forest. There's several "edges" where sunlight gets in, and those areas are solid with bushes, brush, weeds, and vines. I don't know if you're familiar with kudzu...

    Craigslist ppl-Grrrr. fencing question

    You asked. Here are my two biggest problem areas. Seriously though. I'll try to take some shots of the "problem" areas later. Mostly very steep banks and a couple of gullies. But understand. I have no desire or plans to fence and cross fence my place. No "pasturable" (is that a word?) area, all...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Can I send him a shopping list? :D =D You know, I never used to make shopping lists when I lived in the city. Need two batteries? Jump in the car and go get them. 15 minutes later, want lunch? Jump in the car. (I haven't gone to a restaurant or burger joint in 5 months). Now, I keep a shopping...

    My garden 😞

    Ohhhhh;hhhhhh. I like your thinking baymule. Plant a crop PLANNING for it to die and rot! Now that sounds tailor made for me cause that's just what most of the things I plant do. Hey, I might make a gardener yet. "Yep, I had a bumper crop of rotted radishes this year!"

    My garden 😞

    Now I realize this is back yard HERDS and not gardening daily. But @Baymule started this by listing her favorite seed company. Anybody got a take on George W Park seeds? They're local to me, they sell non-gmo seeds, and while lately they seem to be mostly flowers and ornamentals, still have a...

    Coffee anyone ?

    Can we have a show of hands? How many of you hate going to town as much as I do? I'm not talking THE CITY. I mean a town 6 miles away, with one True Value and two traffic lights. I needed a few screws to finish a project today, and I procrastinated and put off until it was too late. And got...

    My garden 😞

    OH, and that's the real reason I'm pushin to get the rabbitry going. I want that poop for the garden. Is that backwards or what? The meat is just a byproduct. The poop is the purpose.

    My garden 😞

    Hey. Thanks for the pep talk. Wish I were as optimistic as you. I already planned to do exactly as you said. But just wish I had a few more months of decay going on in the hay. Those saplings can't be more than a few years old, so don't expect much humus to have accumulated there. And the "soil"...

    My garden 😞

    I knew it would happen. Pushed to the far reaches of my mind, but just waiting to be unleashed onto my reality of yet another worry, another project. In the past few days the subtle hints are popping up....seed catalogs, spring plantings, garden prep. Yep. "GARDENS". COMING SOON TO A PLOT OF...

    It was an "I quit" day.

    @Baymule & @Mini Horses Yep, I definitely feel like I'm reading animal husbandy for second language learners. Can't tell you how many times these discussions have sent me googling. Bay just offhandedly mentioned drenching with garlic juice. Now I've been caught out in the rain before and gotten...
