Got the heeby-geebies now - with all this talk of hedge sheers and amputations - lol

Something to keep under your hat anyway

sometimes I do , sometimes I don’t

I do believe that one can remove up to 20% of the big fan leaves and it will not have a negative effect on photosynthesis

otherwise , outdoors it is a real chore so I usually just leave it up to the chickens , they take care of the lower fan leaves

I get it - first you enslave the chicken as a low trimmer - then she ends up on your table roasted and stuffed with Paxo sage and onion stuffing mix

You forgot about all the thc eggs she provides in the process.

Too soon to tell. This series of shots is 3 over a period of a month. And should last 6 months before it will need to be repeated. Believe me you have to be miserable to put up with this kind of abuse. I am.

But, anything to spend a few more years getting to do the things I love. Growing pot, chatting with you folks and giving fish tooth aches.

They are one of the best I have been raising them for 20 years at the least

cbd organic eggs are about $20 a doz if ya can find them

an added bonus to having chickens is that one chicken drops about 1/4 of poop a day..

we started with 27 birds and they have provided us with pounds and pounds of chicken ferts…

not to mention the grasshoppers and bugs they keep out of the garden…

 

[Putembk]

Not done trimming but taking a break to walk. Been slaking as Big says. Not today. Should be a nice outing. 38f but no wind.

I will finish trimming later.....

 

[bigsur51]

what I have been dealing with since Sunday when a line sprung a leak , 18” inches of crawl space to work in , working on my back…

i haven’t had an under the house plumbing job since around 1977 and that one was a biotch

this one ranks up there , especially when I had to crimp a few of those fittings with the huge crimping tool…

no slacking allowed for this septuagenarian!…

Copper rings in tight places suck.
Sharkbites are the bomb
Run out of sharkbite Tees?

When I lived on Palawan on the Sulu Sea side - was surrounded by people that kept chickens -

- Governor Reyes had a big spread very close to my 6 hectares - and he had hundreds of Cockerell's staked out - with little individual sun/rain shelters and feeders - all being tended to by a gang of Philippino trainers and attendants - who would get the huge population of male chickens to exercise getting ready for their next fight - they would also inject and feed them with steroids - to increase muscle mass - these were fighting cocks -

Happy birthday Gypsy Nirvana. Better late than never. I have 10 chickens. Silver Wyandottes. I hope your sick friend is not in too much pain. Im sure he appreciates your company. Peace brother.

[bigsur51]

it is a sad day and a sorry commentary on society when it has come down to this…

 

[jokerman]

[Drifting13]

I love my MBC. I make a canna oil that would stop a Bull shark...

 

[Drifting13]

I know they're costly, I used to remodel quite a few baths and kitchens.
You don't have like a menards, Lowes, HD or something else other than Ace, that's expensive shit.

 

[Putembk]

Walk in and just finished trimming. Won't be doing this again for 5 or 6 week. Yea!!! Now gotta run Kevin to the vet for his last shot.

Turned out to be a nice day.

Sorry about the plumbing issues Big. I hate plumbing. So much that I usually end up calling the guy.
