Most starts are out from under lights and in greenhouse off to a banner start.
usually put plants out by june 10 so may not be too late to start from seeds...I've been slack.. Still haven't started seeds. And my roommate got a German Shepherd, and the fucker won't stay outta my beds. If this continues once I plant I'm gonna make a coat out of that dog. @chickenman too late to start warm weather seeds or should I look to source some starts. I'm in Lakewood, FYI.
CM, no automatic waterers..?Over 800 starts ready to plant outside this week...

Nope, 2 8 gallon fonts last 3 days or so, can add our treatment.. For hens we use 50 gallon barrels with nipples, heated during winter, cant really heat auto waters.....CM, no automatic waterers..?

I have a model that the manufacturer has a heating element for, and then we insulate the supply lines and frankly, I love it and how much water it saves just by not getting full of chicken shit. I do also offer other various choices of water sources, from rainwater I collect in trays, to pro-biotic treated, to the water I have up on the porch, to the constant-flow nipple waterer, kind of like I do with stuff like the oyster shell flour and feed--I'm trusting them to eat what they actually need. So far so good, they're happy and healthy outside those girls who are obviously Charlemagne's favorite schtoopers. Backs are a bit pink, but no blood and no one's being picked at, either. Right now their favorite is a tray that I had dumped a bunch of used soil in and then it got rained in, so it's overflowing. The chick's spending a lot of time in and around it. In fact, the chick is pretty much completely integrated into the flock, dashes under all the hens to snatch tidbits, but mostly hangs out with Guini still cuz she feeds it. It looks a lot more long-legged than whoever the momma was did when she was a chick.Nope, 2 8 gallon fonts last 3 days or so, can add our treatment..
