Oh thank you Gayle, that is great to know. I can't wait to put them to use :D

Your little garden is doing GREAT!! It looks like soon you're going to have green peppers, tomatoes, and squash!! Very nice!!

Janet 05-09-2012 08:32 AM

Your green thumb did good. What a great garden you have.

DianaB 05-09-2012 11:27 AM

I forgot to ask how the chickens are doing?

The garden is really growing nice!!! You have a green thumb Jessica! How is the mint doing? And the chicks?

JJJ 05-11-2012 04:02 PM

Thank you ladies = )

One of my chicken is not doing so well. She looks sick :( I hope she starts looking better. My other two are doing great. I have be meaning to take pictures of them but I can't seem to get around to it. Maybe this weekend. No eggs yet.

Judy my apple mint is growing nicely but my chocolate mint is not growing as fast. :confused:

I can't wait to taste my veggies.

Jessica, I'm so jealous! I have never bee able to grow decent bell peppers! I can grow jalapeņos, but not Bells! You garden looks fantastic!

judy 05-12-2012 07:56 AM

Chocolate mint will grow, but spearmint grows the best. I never tasted apple mint. It sounds good!

We had temps in the low 30's a couple of mornings ago, so I'm still not replanting my mint, or putting out my plants.

Thank you Gayle, I am so excited. I hope my bell keeps growing, it's so small right now. My red bell pepper tree died a few weeks ago. I was so sad.

Judy, I was just thinking maybe my boys are eating my chocolate mints and that's why it's slowly getting smaller. Would you happen to have recipes for mint?

Jessica, your chickens probably won't start laying eggs until the end of the summer. That's what ours did last summer. It takes a while for them to get mature enough. I don't know how old they have to be.

We got some more chickens the other day......50 of them!! Glen has promised that he'll keep them in the chicken coop this year......after they destroyed my yard last year. We have one chicken and one duck left out of all of those we had last year!!! It's funny because they pal around together!!

Fifty chickens Diana :eek: Wowser :D

There is no way I can fit 50 in my tiny backyard. I'm hoping that in five yrs I can relocate out of the city with more space and away from neighbors. I did read somewhere that they can start laying eggs as soon as 7 months and as late as 1 1/2 yrs. I read on the breeds I got and supposedly there good layers. I guess will see.
