simple question: why do you buy bitcoin?

Makes me nostalgic for 2600 Magazine back covers...

In the run can be tricky since they scratch, destroy roots and eat foliage with the quickness.

I planted about 10 various fruit trees, covered the root zone with longer sticks and put hardware mesh around them to protect from munching. 2 of them made it (one elderberry and a mulberry) from them destroying and me forgetting to water.

Now I just plant them on the other side of the fence along the run and hope I'll be able to shake fruit to their side

We have some fun ones.

Grape vines on the wire fencing for tasty treats for both us and them plus dual purpose as shade.

Lavender and rosemary around the exterior to mitigate the smell and flies.

We also put the run under our mulberry tree so they can snack on them as they fall.

This is one of my favorite subjects!

We have siberian pea shrub, mulberry trees, goumis, two apple trees, figs, elderberry, blueberries, currants, quince, aronia, bush cherries, blackberries, plus lots of mint, yarrow, and comfrey. Most of those are for the chickens but we'll want our share of the blueberries, apples and figs. This year I'll probably add some annuals (sunflowers and sweet potatoes), there's a passionflower vine that will come up in the next month, and there's a large viburnum and poplar that we added for shade.

Last fall we planted a number of fodder trees that feed the rabbits that share the area with the chickens - mostly hackberry, elm, apple rootstock, linden, maple.

Protecting the roots from the scratching is an ongoing challenge. We have wire cages around the base of each tree and shrub. If I can fill each cage with mulch and then put enough heavy branches on top of the mulch, that holds up relatively well. Another thing that works is a small ring right next to the tree and another larger one that's deep enough that the chickens can scratch to their hearts' content but still keep the mulch pretty much in place.

I don't care that much about sunshine lol. I'm Nordic. We need the damn rain. We've had two actual showers since April, and that's bad. Literally was in the 90s for a week straight here in MN, and real spring weather hadn't even happened here yet. The snow just melted a few weeks ago lol

I live in the city, but now I guess I'm a country folk 🤷🏼‍♀️

What is this??

there's an interesting relationship between word count and meme effectiveness

This might be a controversial opinion, but I'm starting to think that French Toast > Pancakes

Yeah it's in with my cows at the moment. But it goes between them and the sheep, depending on the terrain. Ideally I'd have multiple but I only have 3 cows so until that grows I can't justify the expense. But the sheep have started to pay for themselves rather quickly so I'm buying more this weekend or next and trading my ram so I can mix in more of the st Croix katadhin cross into my mutts.

Well, I didn't have the free choice mineral feeder which was probably a big deal.

Average hanging weight on my lambs this year was 48lbs. That's a 5lb (12%) increase from last year.

Doing something right!

Nice. Reminds me I wanna get something like that for camping. Apparently they've gotten quite compact

Hi nostr frends, MowMow here.

Some days can be windy like today, and it can be tough to do weed control when your ears are blowing around.

But it's days like today that I'm thankful I have my sister Chiva to cuddle up with.
