How to raise Backyard Chickens: Re: [CHICKENS-101] OT Thank you

Mr. Basketball is WONDERFUL. Such a good guy. He feeds the hens things. Picks it up, and holds it for a hen to take. Only eats it himself if nobody takes it. Mrs. Basketball enjoys being picked up and held, she's a happy hen, you will enjoy her.

Good idea on the eggplants. Yeah, I know "Murphy". Dead David was one, so by default I was a Murphy too, for 4 1/2 years! I'll pick up 2 more plants! No such thing as too many eggplants here. The chickens or skunks will eat any extras. And my veggie eating cat!

My dtr. will be here in 3 days with her youngest boy. Guess the son-in-law isn't coming. I win!

[This is where you laugh.] Kid wants to be a chopper pilot and Ft. Rucker is where the Army trains them.

Some of the plants came in "9 paks". I dug 1 hole and shoved all 9 little plants into it. I think that's not the way it's supposed to be done. Me and gardening don't interact well. I'm getting a little 6 inch wide electric tiller. The ground here is a sea of snall roots that I'd like to chew up.

Hope you are sleeping away and have a calm, restful night.

Georgia, I am supposed to laugh, really. A nook? I had to go and look it up. A computer that reads pages to you? Fried egg plant is luscious. I'd plant three plants. If you only plant one a bug or critter will come and eat it. If you plant 3 and end up with too many, nothing will touch your plants. It's Murphie's Law, you know Murphy. How are cochins Mr. and Mrs. Basketball? I can't wait to come and get them! Cathryn
