If they don't have any let me know and I'll pick some up and meet you somewhere...

Leave a couple MSR!! I am heading that way after work.

Don't have a pond, but I would like too. I do have 8 chickens right here in the middle of Dallas and I mix C.poo in and it seems to really work well. That horsetail pops up all over the place.

I wish someone with a green house would start up all the seeds(peppers/tomatoes) next year and sell them to all of us on the TFF!!

I might be doing that...I'll let you know later in the year.



How many do you need? I'll make sure I leave some and tell the lady/guy at the counter to keep some for you. I'll be heading over there at ~5:00 or so.

Anyone else have city chickens?


Today's harvest.

Say whaaaaatttt????

I think you put up the wrong pic


...edit,

That's awesome, AdventureTX. I really would like to but the HOA won't permit it. I currently have a rabbit I use for it's manure and have some meat chickens growing at a friends' house. I contemplated raising the meat chickens at my house because they make almost no noise. But, that would suck to get hit with a $500 fine...

I've been thinking about chickens. Thinking hard on getting 1/2 dozen or so, but, between the feral cats, my dogs, and the hawks, I'm not too sure. I dunno if I'd wanna go through the hassle of building a coop. Saw some pre-fab ones in Mother Earth News, but they are outrageously priced.

I'd love to get some chickens, but my dogs would eat them...

Fortunately, my boat mechanic has over 6,000 birds, some chickens in that mess, and I get plenty of free chicken poop from him...And I get Turkey eggs on occasion...Those are GREAT...

They really are pretty cool birds I've had them about a year and their production just went from 2 a day to 6(more daylight) and I've got 8 birds.

They eat all of our scraps and grass clippings.....and anything else you can give them....I gave them a jar full of grub worms the other day and it was like watching a pack of piranhas. One of them(Toto) will let my 3 year old daughter carry her around in a bucket.

The okra grew so tall it wouldn't stand up in the peat pots. Mrs Chad put it in the ground yesterday. The zucchini has to go out today.


I'm gonna make the call. NO MORE FREEZING FOLKS! GO FOR IT!

I know for certain because I have psychotic powers that allow me to see into the future.

Gonna plant a few peppers and maters today. Hopefully the ground isn't too wet. I have to get them in the ground.






Gonna try to catch some sandies this week. The last two years I have put a sandbass carcass in the hole before I put the plants in. Haven't had to use any fertilizer the last two years. I had jalapeno and cherry mater plants that were taller than my fence. Squash, bell peppers and eggplant went crazy also.

walmart had a ton of cubanelle seeds.. I think it may be a bit to early to get the small plants for them though. They grow best in 85+ weather.

I got a pack of those seeds. They're now 3" sprouts in the seedlingararium. Today I started a habanero, 2 poblano, and 3 sweet banana. i thnk I've already done some sweet banana, but there's no such thing as too many peppers. Right?
