    Lots of us raise chickens

    :D LOL...I had to do it. No seriously though if I could raise chickens here I would, but I cant even keep a veggie garden alive for the year atm.:( I loved the days on the farm when I was growing up with the horses, chickens, turkeys, and pigs. If I ever get enough to buy a nice piece of land I...

    thanks tonya....I have two suggestions for the mole problem. First you have to find the active tunnel. If you can see them above the ground then it is much easier, just step on a spot on the tunnels and mark them as you go. If it is active they will fix it within 48hrs and this is the path they...

    Last Chance

    Ok, so you guys have gave me the will to try once more with an outdoor garden. So I figured I would go all out on this attempt and make sure I have all bases covered. I have been mixing my mulchings and a couple bags of soil in for a couple years now but it still consists of more sand then...

    storebought peppers

    As you mentioned how hard it is to grow in the FL sand crabbergirl I have always looked for new compost and mixtures for our less then freindly soil here. Do you think that all this dead sawgrass I have around the house would provide a decent additive in the mulch and help to retain some moisture?

    Indoor Veggies

    Please tell all your secrets!!=) Well at least the garden ones. Most of the problem comes from little green worms eating everything almost overnight. I come out to find them tucked in my leaves all nice and comfy. Of course if it happens later I get them in the fruit too. The deer problem was...

    Indoor Veggies

    You know what?...That would'nt be hard for me cause the garage door faces the south, I might look into that.
