Bluebird update. I took pics of the 5 eggs on 17 May. Yesterday I looked again and there are at least 4 young birds, fledged out and just about ready to learn flying! And we have gotten about a dozen blackberries so far....if I ever get a chance to plant them out of these pots, I bet we will get a l...

And the bluebird nest reported on in the "where is everyone" section needs updating! There were 3 babies that survived the first batch and now the same pair is working on another batch, starting with 5 new eggs! I have been trying to not bother them too much....

Well, that subject should be generic enough to mean just about anything to anyone..... For me, it means strawberries, blackberries, Amaryllis, peonies, and potatoes. For now. I planted some Amaryllis seed last year in pots and got 9 beautiful medium sized bulbs for the effort. This year, am planting...

Once in a while, I go back through the past...and revisited this today. Last post here was 2015. Last post from them was in 2017. Curious how they are doing now and if their experiment continues....?

Not exactly on thread, but so much isn't.... I ran across this and since most of the people here are of the mature persuasion, it is likely that most can read cursive. And I have heard and observed from younger ones in the family that this is not being taught in many schools any more. This looked li...

Well, I had an interesting small engine search today. I have a 1976 Sears Craftsman rototiller that needs a breather tube from the crankcase to the carburetor. I call this the killer tiller, because there is a fatal flaw to the design that Sears told me years ago requires it to be returned, presumab...

Well, this one is almost over! Hoping for better one next year!

In the meantime, Merry Christmas! Happy New Year! Happy Holidays!!!

The two biggest issues I have had are dealing with the car dealer, and dealing with the bank. The car dealer, because they are car dealers, so struggle to behave honestly, and tend to be surprised when pulled up on it. And the bank, because they don't understand that a green card is a representatio...

Did you make it here yet? We have lots of commotion going next week...gonna be a wild ride, I think.

After inappropriately posting on another thread about this, I figured I should start a new thread. Why South Dakota? It's where my mother in law lives. on the western side of the state. What kind of trucks will I drive? Big ones, they are what I am comfortable in, and there is generally plenty of w...

I have discovered I need power at the farm and the local utility will not provide for reasonable price until I have a house footing and some building going on, so I am gonna get some solar for small things like drills, water pump, saws, etc. Nothing solid yet, but this is my first post to warn every...

Well, our little corner of the world has become more relaxed relative to covid. The vaccination seems to have worked. A dozen or so friends/family who have caught it survived (only one did not and that was early last year), and there have been only relatively mild lingering effects. We have even be...

This is the entirely wrong thread for me to post in, but seems to be where all of the action is. I'm moving to the States in a few weeks. Have been approved for a green card, have the visa stamped in my passport and plane tickets booked. Will be driving trucks in the near term, so may have the poss...

Good to hear from you all! I have planted beans in a small patch in the front yard - about 4' x 8'. About a week and a half ago, along with some Hickory King corn. Should get some beans before freeze, but the corn doesn't have a chance! I hope the stalks will be tall enough by then, though, to get s...
