i wouldn't really kill/eat them. i love them and all my critters! these turkeys will have cute chicks in a short time, i'll get pics of them too.
thanks Wolf...it is pretty here.

more turkey KONG today. i love the big guy. i promised him he'd never meet cranberry sauce.
i like the pictures on the previous page (10) better, where he poses in all his male glory. notice he has a "beard". only the males do.

I look forward to seeing pix of their chicks. I think my geese are sitting on eggs now. I pulled in the driveway recently & one of them flew across the pond about a foot off the water headed like a friggin' missile right for my car.
RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 03-24-2011
i want to see photos of your geese!

Happy to know they will not be killed or eaten
I grew up with many animals, chickens, ducks, geese and horses. Thanks for sharing your pictures.

ok it's April 2, and i'm going to start this year's garden photo record. exciting stuff here! heh heh
we had big snowstorm 2 nights ago. now it's gone and the garden is cleared off for planting. the scraggly thing is sage, it did come back last year, we'll see. the braced-up trees are my apples and i'm waiting for buds. the little green stuff is parsley who somehow lived through the winter, and some strawberry plants. there is also a big hole, not shown, that lardbutt the groundhog kindly dug for me so he can wait for the new veggies.

Heh...here's mine. We've got a long ways to go. It's raining outside right now, or I'd take a pic of a bunch of dirt in the garden boxes. Not really worth the effort.

I see your aloe vera plant, kid. We always had one growing in a pot in the kitchen for burns in my childhood home. And a bacon grease can. hahaha
Nice black dirt, LC. I judge gardens by the color of the soil. Do you have a tiller?
RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 04-02-2011
no. no tiller. just a large son.
my Mom kept a cup of bacon grease by the stove too. it's a Southern thing.

Heh...Good eye! That window is the best we have for sunlight, and room to put a few plants. We've got the Aloe, and a couple other big ass plants (not sure what they are...wifey's dept) that are out growing that space.

Wandering Jew and Peace Lily. Some Wandering Jews have purple, pointed leaves, some green, rounded leaves.
Very nice.

That's a LOT of work. I was deciding if I wanted to buy a used gas tiller this season or continue growing tomatoes in containers. Container gardening is easier, but I run out of tomatoes.
I don't save bacon grease anymore, but I used to. Nothing tastes as good as potatoes fried in bacon grease.
That aloe plant took me home for a minute.
Thanks for the pics, folks. I really enjoy them.
RE: how does your garden grow? - Lady Cop - 04-04-2011

Looks like dinner to me!! And don't let that bastard get into your garden later on....or actually, go ahead..I would call that justifiable turkey-cide.

RE: how does your garden grow? - aileen - 04-11-2011
Need some advice. I decided to try my hand at growing vegetables. I chose zucchini, cucumbers and tomatoes. I put them in plastic pots that are about 1"X1" and about a foot deep. You're going to laugh, but being the virgin planter that I am, I put THREE packets of seeds in each pot!! I now know that was way too much, as I was informed after the fact.lol So I was told that farmers generally lay more seeds then needed, then go through and *thin* them out, by pulling the ones that didn't grow as good. MY PROBLEM is that ALL of them are GROWING...GREAT!! Such as my luck. So I am wanting to know two things...#1. When should I thin them out?(I will have to throw away about 15+...seems like murder.lol) and #2. I would like to leave the veggies grow in the pots and just *stake* them...but I need to know if my pots are large enough?
Thanks for any advice you can heed my way
RE: how does your garden grow? - Duchess - 04-11-2011
One inch by one inch pots? Hahahaha! No, they cannot stay in them. LMAO. For tomatoes, your pots should probably be at least 18 in. in diameter.
Cukes & zucchini spread like crazy. They need space.
Good luck.
I can't wait for Maggot to see this.
