That was the concern ... Jumping. I can see they'd take out young trees. Heck, my goats will do that! They love the fruit trees. Last winter one of my bucks took out a young apple, 3 figs bushes and trimmed up a plum pretty good! Messed up some fence along the way! Why not???

Yep... before I sold the goats... they ate up my last remaining aplle tree.

I want more a LOT more land and then to get some more goats. On that note I hate goats, you can't keep them in, they jump all over your car, the wife's, the neighbors vehicles and boats. I had one that would jump on my truck bed to the cab then on the trailer attached. Oh Ahh dern goats. My last bunch learned (well 1 nanny taught them all) how to back up and run through 3 runs of electric wire on the inside of the other fence. My neighbor asked about buying some kids. I said take ALL of them in exchange for 4 nanny's that respect hot wire next year or the year after.
He moved and I still don't have goats.

Yeah... I was a complete failure when it came to goat fence.

I wonder who has some mulch or wood chips for sale???



I think I could get a half dozen 55 gal barrels full If I wished to break out the rack and had a snow shovel. I could rack it into the tractor bucket I may do my potatoes right this year.

What potato planting method do you follow?

I do the: toss cut up pieces on ground, toss stuff on them to cover... as they grow toss more.

Works for me.

I've planted store bought that didn't get ate (and sprouted in the bag) without really mulching to very bad affects. I also used to plant them in side of the tomato cages/cattle panels. Then I found out they do not grow well together. I was trying to utilize space. I'm going to try left over bad ones and actual potato seed this year. I already planted some of the eaters that started sprouting.

Today I planted tomato seeds yea a month late with seed starting. I told the wife to get plants she came back with seeds remembering last april/may when every thing was sold out. I said we are a month early and had a frost last wkend. Planting season hasn't started so no need to worry about that yet. We are 4-8 weeks behind you Bay. I started some Thyme, and several pepper seeds as well.
On a Pepper note does anyone grow green Chile's??? I haven't really seen them anywhere as seeds or plants. Just regular chile peppers or some other pepper. I love canned green chiles and it may be one of my most common ingredients to just add for flavor. Besides my seasoning.

Just jalapeno and serrano. Way to early for plants here. Puckerbutt pepper company carrys lot of varieties so does Seeds n Such. Puckerbutt breeds reapers, ghost,scorpions plus the not so hots. I can't eat them. Ever try super chili little dudes turn red, great for drying and grinding. 4 or 5 of them in a pot of chili makes me sweat.

I'll have to give them a look. I've not noticed them "green chilies" in my seed catalogs. I don't know about the puckerbutt but if they sell the not so hot I'll take a look. A reason I like the green chilies is they don't pucker'my'butt, yet they still taste great.
