Don't worry RTG we don't have a gardern planted yet either. I keep telling DH we need to find a place for one but we haven't done anything yet. We've been told we can use the garden space over at my inlaws. It's a large space but a PITA to water. Maybe I can get DH interested in doing something with it this weekend. I want fresh produce. I can get plenty from my dad though when it becomes available from his garden but I love having it from my own garden too. My kds love when we grow the tommy toe tomatoes. They eat them straight from the vine! One year I want to grow strawberries. There are tires set up for potatoes in the space at my inlaws and I am tempted to try potatoes in those spots too.redtailgal said:
OK, after talking about it I have decided I am going to try to get DH to get some plants and do the garden this weekend!

The picture of Blitz' buckling does NOT doe him justice. He is a beautiful little Nubian/Alpine. Nice Nubian ears and face, great topline. Long beautiful legs. And he is very quiet. He is such a lovely little guy and has lovely coloring.
AND AP's garden is really, really great!

This week and weekend has been crazy I have rescued some more people for short term stays at the trailer. The first are good friends of mine down on there luck. Lost there home they were renting because it was sold to a property guru that builds strip malls and only had a two week notice. They are moving back to Washington state 
The next person was also going to be homeless and he is a paraplegic Veteran that did a news interview about the benefits of medical marijuana and is being kicked out of his home becaue the VA revoked his housing voucher
So he is mov.ng to the country to recoup.
On the animal front everyone is good I have 6, 3 week old meat rabbits and 10, 2 day old meat rabbits and a litter on the way. I let my youngest clutch of chicks out with my 8 weeks olds the are doing great I got 4 giant cochins out of that hatching.
I have had to rescue the youngest one from the goat pen outside dogs would get them if they wonder out of the area so I patched were I needed too and all is well so far.
I am weaning Priscilla again
and now Emma too, but she gets a bottle a day since she is only 8 weeks old. She is stripping her Mom of everything and I think Whitney could use all the help she can get. She is getting 4-5 cups of my mix grain which is noble goat, sweet feed, alfalfa pellets and all the browse she wants was getting free choice hay but grass is growing she also has free choice minerals. ,
Skinny and shedding like crazy and her coat feels dry and brittle any advice?
will post picture tomorrow

Are you giving mineral? Try top dressing her feed w/ it, if she's not getting 'enough'. I also like BOSS for dry coats, really works wonders.
Only other thought would be some parasite, maybe taking them down a bit when they're already 'down' from being in milk?
You sure love to take in strays, don't you?
Sure hope they appreciate you!

AP, you have such a kind soul. I really hope you make it to Herdstock so we can all meet you.
Flax is good too. Depending on your local prices it might be cheaper than BOSS which is ridiculously priced around here.Roll farms said:

Being home so far has been a nightmare my DD dogs got loose and killed Billy my ND 
my own fault for putting them in a old chicken coop 10x30 x6 without the safety of my electric fence. Now they are chained to the telephone pole with my electric fence as a barrier 20,000 volts and a gun if they get another one.
I still have so much to do grocery shopping securing DD dogs (husky and a great dane) in a fence with no gate since that is how they got out to begin with. Have I mentioned I will be doing all of this in the rain
My vacation was really good A got to see the western states he has never been anywhere. Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California. We went and stayed with my nephew in Lake Havasu then at my Dad's by Big Bear and lastly went to Camp Pendleton and packed up my DD and brought her back with us. Played at the beach for two days which was fun. A has a blast but had to be rescued by the life guard the last day got caught in the current and was being dragged out.
scared the you know what out of me we left the beach after that, next year he gets to hold my hand and he will be 15 that way he doesn't scare me again I hope.
