We started out boarding and raising horses but as the kids grew up they lost interest in 4H. Vicki still has her horse which she raised for a colt about 16 yrs ago. She takes dressage lessons every week. We posted more pictures to our garden. hope you enjoy.

Happy Gardening

Thank you so much for viewing and commenting about my 1st project here at GT. I have not used the pellets before and are a little concerned but I have a good feeling this year for a better container garden then my previous.

The lights in my green house were just on for taking the photos. I am using a heating mat under the trays and will not be using them till after the germination is complete and will remove them from the heating mat and place the growing lights about 1-2 inches above the new plants. This will help them stay a little shorter, sturdy, hardy and fuller plants for transplanting

Looks like you have many successful projects yourself. :-)
I love flowers too. Will be sowing Morning Glory’s, Moon Flowers and Nasturtiums soon.

I will be watching your progress as well.

you’ve changed your “name” identity.
Interesting :)

I will be sowing more seeds of what I lost for sure. Tomatoes are going to be very expensive this season according to the news. Bad crops due to bad weather where most tomatoes come from stores. I am very excited.

My peppers are doing fine so far and so is my oregano and marjoram.

Thank you again for your reply and encouraging words:-)

Hugs

Hi Robin,thanks for the welcome.My sister raises a few dairy goats,I get milk from her whenever I can,love to play with the baby goats they are all ways so happy,want to bring them home with me but I’m not ready for them yet. I don’t think I will plant gourds this year,have a bunch from last year drying and I need to get creative and do something with them. I’m not to computer smart,going to take me forever to figure this blog thing out. regards, Mark in Co

Hey Robin thanks for the pointer on the strawberries. Seems simple but I wasn’t sure what to do.

-- Ronm

thank you Robin for the information on garlic,I will try that.Currently I’m adding chopped garlic to apple cider vineger and giving them about a tablespoon to a gallon of water a couple of times a week,but other options are great. My projects this spring are planting more herbs for them to eat,I want to try some peppermint,they love the shew mosquito geranium,have to keep a fence around it,and I planted a hobs vine by there run last fall can’t wait to see how it does,and they can eat the hops,plus it will give them some shade,allready have grapes growing around one of the chicken yards.Sorry I’m having a bit of a problem with the blog,going to have to get some one how is smarter than me on the computer to show me.

Morning Robin, you are an early riser. That’s the way to learn how to garden, trial and error. After a couple of decades you start to get the hang of it. Out here in Oregon the weather this year is so fickle that what ever tricks a guy has up his sleeve needs to be pulled out. Where I am the ground is just too wet and cold to till. I’ve never seen such a wet spring. Thanks for asking about the pastel art. I’ll put some pictures up on my home page. Bet the goats get in some comical situations. They’d make a fun picture.

It’s me again , Margaret, just call me computer challenged, I can’t figure out how to tap into the pictures in my computer and put them on this site. So if you want to see them, email me at JustChalk@hotmail.com. and I can fire you off some flowers, birds, a frog and tell you more about what I do.

Back to being rad..gal again. I like it. A new year’s thing?

-- Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. - Thoreau

I noticed the change for the new year as well.
Welcome back “RadicalFarmerGal” .. although it was nice to know you as “Robin” as well, you shall always be Radicalfarmergal to me!

-- - Debbie, SW Ontario Canada (USDA Hardiness Zone: 5a)

Thanks, Steve and Debbie. As I was changing my avatar photo for the new year, I realized that Radical Farmer Gal is an apt moniker and I ought to live up to my ideals and use it proudly. Thinking of the seeds I have purchased for next year’s garden and drinking my home-made, fermented ginger ale, that I realized that I am a bit of a radical, at least by current society’s practices. I will answer to Robin, too. : )

Maybe you had too much of that home-made, fermented ginger-ale :)

-- Disobedience is the true foundation of liberty. The obedient must be slaves. - Thoreau

Steve, grow some ginger and make some yourself. It tastes great. No alcohol, just lots of bubbles and a lemony-ginger taste. Perhaps the bubbles were making me a bit light-headed though. : )

LOL Robin/RFG, I wondered why. Sounds to me like we can blame the ginger-beer, for one reason or the other.

Thanks for the welcome, Nathan got me here :D
how cold do you have it? I am dreading our forecast for Saturday night’s low at 37F ;-)

I am trying to find my way around it here… looks like there is no forum for introductions?
