Re: Coopers Hawk?

I am leaning more towards Sharp-shinned. It seems to have a shorter tail and seems realatively small over all. But I have been known to be wrong!! :-? But either way a very cool experience and so happy you and your DH had the ability and nerve to fee the bird. And photos to boot! Congrats to a job w...

They actually can be found in most of the eatern half of the country and sections of the northwest. They do require large areas per...

Re: Corn Harvest

Indiana had a bumper crop of corn this year and they have been able to get it picked early due to our lack of rain here. A local grain bin nearby is full and they have the corn piled behind it!

Immortality

A friend on another gardening site sent me a piece of this iris last spring. It bloomed a very small bloom after I received it which amazed me. I knew it was a rebloomer but didn't really expect it since I just planted it this spring. But my gosh this weekend it bloomed again! Iris Immortality 10-23...

Re: General question about our online catalog

I think it would be an excellent idea for you as a way to increase your business. I have been on lots of sites that have both mail order and 'for sale only on site' listings. I think on site or instore sounds best.

Best of Luck!! :beer:

Re: An interesting chicken year plus more baby chicks!

LOL!!!! I think goats have to be waaaayyy easier than trying to hatch chicks!! If I ever get to have them I want enough land to keep them contained in a nice area so they don't eat any of my plants! It IS strange that people do put goats and chickens togther, isn't it! :roll: I do have one rule rega...

Rocky is adorable!! Boxers are such beautiful dogs. He will be so handsome when he grows up! :D

Am so sorry for you loss of Corky. We were shocked by how quiet the house is since Buddy passed away.
