Hi 👋 I'm in Virginia

Having a mug of decaf & trying to wind down from work. Was not a great night. ☹️ Need to shut off the dialog in my head & get some sleep before tonight's shift. Had a HOT shower. Had a carb-ie breakfast. Snuggly warm with a couple of cats sharing the bed. Think I'll try putting on an old...

Day 2 of building compost/ garden beds. Added another board to make it deeper. Wired the stobs together to make it stronger. Added another doubled layer of cardboard.... it's really more like heavy paper... but it's 8 layers deep now. Then pulled the woven wire cage from around the OLD...

Good morning. Coffee is hot & ready. It's a crisp 43° here.

Drove to 2 different agricultural/farm stores with that leaky wheel barrow wheel this AM trying to find anything that could serve as a replacement. I kept telling them that I didn't care if it matched, all I want is the same diameter tire & axle hole. Nope. 1 guy looked on the interwebs &...

LOL!!!!! I've been thinking that I needed to turn on the furnace to see if it's going to work this season. Wanna guess what was running when I got home this AM??? Apparently I never actually clicked it to OFF in the early Spring. 🙄 Oh well. Works...... so, yeah 👍

We're on shutdown again. Maybe for the whole week. I got busy at home & didn't get any sleep before coming in. So.... been up since 7am Mon AM. I'm in trouble. 😬 11pm coffee 1am coffee 3am coffee 😪😴

As far as I know - at the moment - the only cost is the install, and they cover a good bit of that under certain circumstances.

Is there an office near you? Wouldn't hurt to stop by & ask if there is some paperwork on this that you could look at. It seems like this is a pretty substantial structure they're talking about. She did mention that you're required to have a contractor install the thing - to make sure it's done...

She just said that she went down to the local office (USDA I believe) & applied. There was some kind of contract because when I suggested that this would be a great way to get into business raising meat birds, she said that 'no livestock' was in the contract. I mentioned at one point that she...

https://www.nrcs.usda.gov/programs-initiatives/eqip-high-tunnel-initiative I believe this is to much for my little operation, but some of you ladies should look into this. According to my friend it's 30x70. There's several conditions & prerequisites. The only space I'd be able to fit...

Hi I have a single Jersey angus X cow here in South Central VA. Welcome to the forum. Is this the first time you've had a calf born there?

Got some Tillamook waffle cone sundae instead. ....... and it wasn't very good. ? I thought they were supposed to be up the with Blue Bell & other premium. Oh well. Gave that leaky tire another coat around the bead & the spoke holes. We'll see. Flexseal is $16/can. I haven't found...

I'll be getting all the details over tacos tomorrow after church. I believe she said it had something to do with the USDA office in town??

SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Well, the tires aren't fixed yet. 1 is good. I think it'll be fine. The other is leaking out through the spokes!!! :hu I got the spoke holes about 1/2 coated in flexseal & ran out.🙄 So I went around to the front yard & trimmed a dozen or so crepe myrtle branches. These will be the stakes that...

Maybe it needs to stay attached to a 'trickle charger" when parked?

4am Been up for hours. 2 cups of coffee & a bowl of the BEST Mac&cheese EVER and I'm soo ready to start work on building the garden. 👩‍🌾 Now just waiting on the sun. 🌞

A ton of tasks that add up to a huge feeling of accomplishment, good job!! And that dinner looks amazing.
