I THINK that after the “ ten “ year period the conifer or whatever slows down its growth. It may not grow fast to begin with but after so many years its growth slows down. 🦃🍁💚🙃
My husband and I move our shed and chicken coops around our property constantly.. every few years it seems he brings home the equipment and we move them around.. keeps the property feeling fresh and gives us a chance to repaint and freshen um up and clean up around and relandscape around them
Reiterating what Tracy said, I know when my daughter introduced new chickens into the flock it did not go well they got beat up for a very long time, and your silkies are so snall they will be the ones to be picked on. Loved your vidoe today with the questions. Have a great day.
Something to consider re: more chickens. Other breeds don’t always do well mixed with silkies. Silkies aren’t very smart and don’t see as well as most others (and can tend to get beat up. ) There is always an adjustment period of course, but you never know if you are going to end up with a bully. (Or more than one.) since silkies tend to be very broody, it would be easier to let one raise chicks. They integrate into the “flock” easier than just adding more pullets. But then of course you run the risk of ending up with a bunch of cockerels you have to deal with. (One way or another.)
Well, good morning, Janey, Jason and Monty. Of course, everybody needs a little R. And R What a fun video today youtube are so cool. Have a blessed day the oklahoma gardener
Watching from Australia and loving your channel. I notice that American backyard gardens don’t seem to have clothesline appearing in them anywhere. They often have pride of place in the sunniest of spots here.
I have one.. always had one growing up.. but I’m the only person I know who has one besides my mother in law. Younger people are not carrying the clothing line into the future sadly.. it would be way better for the environment.. but it’s true women be working full time too now a days and nobody has time to be hanging out the wash
We use the dryer a lot in America. I do have a retractable clothesline for certain linens and airing things. Many of my dripdry clothes I just put on a hanger and let them dry inthe house.
My silkies used to get bullied by my other birds but now they are in with my Jersey gentle giants and they all get along because they are all super timid.. the other birds have moved over to the retirement coop where the hens that no longer lay can live out their days relaxing. At one point I was up to three coops because Martha one of my more elderly ladies was being bullied and needed solo housing.. beware ending up like me.. the crazy chicken lady lol I just don’t have the heart to treat them like farm production animals.. some of my ladies have been with me for close to 10 years now I think
I live in England .When you say a lot of rain, I always laugh . We have rain throughout every season, and drip irrigation is definitely not required . I plant my ranunculus out in autumn, and they come up perfect every spring with no problems. I don't need to soak them before I plant them either.
You can still have barn cats. Mine just killed the only squirrel I’ve ever seen in my garden and many voles have met their demise with them. But I acclimated them very differently than you did. If you want to try again it’s totally possible. But you’d need to make sure they stick around by acclimating them in the shop or garage and for longer. My dog chases the cats but they are still here. So sorry they left
Any time you have a tree, evergreen or deciduous there is the potential it will out grow the space you put it in, because yes, they do not just stop growing when they hit the size mentioned on a plant tag. Removing any big over grown tree years later is no easy feat however. About all we can do, is to use the plant tag size to give us a CLUE about how fast the type grows, to maximize how long it will fit into the space we have given it.
I got 3 polish and 3 buff orbingtons last April and the orbingtons are soooo friendly and are better layers. If I had it to do over again I would get just orbingtons.
You guys are so fun. I love your sofa, I haven’t been able to find a tight back sofa that I love. My husband prefers this style❤️. Would you mind sharing what brand it is?
Do not buy from feed store, chain- find a good local breeder they are always healthier. Also practice good bio security meaning if you visit another coop don’t wear those shoes into your coop without cleaning, don’t take in new hens (adopt from friends, facebook, ect) without quarantine. I lost my first flock to mareks , they all started dying when they got to laying age and second flock lost three when I took in one off Facebook that ended up with coccidomycosis. I changed my practices after that and never had an issue. As far as disease from your chickens to humans. Really a non issue if raised healthy in enough space and keep coop clean. Healthy hens raised right don’t pass on salmonella, that’s an issue of mass farming. Don’t wash eggs when being stored, destroys their protective barrier. When using can wash before cracking if you are worried/germaphobe and don’t eat undercooked.

Same here in South Africa
People (mostly women), in the US, that would be hanging clothes are way too busy these days to take the time for it!

Yes, because some crepe myrtles can get huge!
My ranunculus didn’t make it through our hot spring here in zone 8, GA!!!! I had some in pots and garden! Sad🙁

I agree with your husband. I love a tight back sofa and the next one I buy will definitely be one.
How do you keep the chickens from acquiring and spreading disease? I’m just getting started but have concerns. (Yes, I can be a germ freak sometimes😂)
