My very first ginger bug is finally ready, so I'm trying out ginger ale. Wish me luck! Hopefully the fermentation subreddit has prepared me well, haha.πŸ€žπŸ€ #fermentation

Fermenting veg for the first time! I want to get this figured out before gardening season gets too busy. Hoping for yummy results that are good for my gut too! 🀞πŸ₯’πŸŒ±

I made the mistake of showing this to my 10 year old, and now she is begging for a Serama of her own.

When the rehabbing house chicken decides she wants to try laying eggs again you improvise. In a pinch, a basket + pillows + a blanket = a nest box.

Barred rock hen fast asleep indoors on a crochet pouf pillow.

She has been rehabbing in the house for over a month, and I think it's safe to say she has fully acclimated to house chicken status. πŸ”πŸ§Ά

No kidding! Planted mine at the same time and was shocked when I realized I can't harvest until June/July. I won't be planting parsnips or carrots this spring because the garlic is taking up so much of my space. πŸ˜‚

A raised garden bed with a few sprouting garlic leaves and straw piled on top.

I'm growing garlic for the first time (zone 8b) and am a bit nervous about the snow we are getting later today. I did a bit of research and decided to pile on some more straw rather than cover it. Hoping for the best. 🀞🌱🌨️

This is terrible! Do we know if it extends to Medicaid as well? I've seen conflicting reports.

Nice! This guy is my first roo, and I've only had him for 3 mo. I've researched a ton, but am still learning new things.

Hey chicken people, what is he saying?
Is it, "Hey ladies, I found the best spot ever! Come check it out." Or am I misunderstanding?

Decided to search for some washable nest pads after several broken soft shelled eggs. I was excited to find these cloth mats online (yay less plastic), but hold up, they looked just like an old bath mat I had, and I can sew. Voila: new nest pads!!! πŸ”πŸͺ‘β™»οΈπŸŒŽ

The sweetest boy joined our family today! Curd is a 6 mo. old silkie, and he will be joining our flock of seven hens. Shhh! 🀫 The ladies don't know yet.
We've only had him a few hours, but he is the most adorable cuddle bug, and already snuggling with my daughter. πŸ’“

I initially read that last bit as "I guess it's all God unless it's about money." Hmm. Either way I suppose it tracks.

The weekend harvest! The strawberries are hard to keep up with and a couple of the potato grow bags were ready. It's my first season growing carrots. This climate is better suited for a fall crop, but at least I got some cute baby πŸ₯•s. I hope I have better results in the fall. πŸŒ±πŸ“πŸ₯”πŸ«› #gardening
