I remembered I have a Farmer's Co-Op thermometer or two that are still in the box. I'll call home now and ask the wife to remind me to look for them. {or I will forget the hell out of it}

That onion looks pretty good for a volunteer.

I have to get up with my horse poop connection. Mamma always went and got it in the pickup. Her friend lives next to a farmer who keeps a few horses. But Mamma died last year, and I haven't thought to ask her friend if it's alright for me to come get some. Actually I need to ask her to ask her neighbor if it's alright for me to come get some.

Im sorry to hear that Larry.. Truly... I myself have never used horse poop in my grows or pile... I live aboit a half mi one way from some stables and im good friends w the guy.. Im going to get a pickup load of it this year... Then the other direction..ess than a half mi i have a neighbor that has about 100 cows... I did get a pickupload of it two yrs ago.. Ill get a few this year if he doesnt mind... My grandparents own a bunchnkf sheep... Iv never used sheep poop before but i hear its awesome... A truck load or so it with the rest of the poop should make me some good ass dirt....i actually think im gonna get a load of the dirt from the farm.. Its the absolute blackest soil iv ever seebln... And the top foot or so is rock free... Easy dig.... I want to go to a chicken farm and get some.. I use to have chickens and will get some prob this spring

Shit is the shit for growing.

My BIL is a chicken man. He uses the movable tractors {pens made from pvc pipe and chicken wire}, and it makes collecting the shit easier. I have some that I got last year. I did add a little to my soil for the Spring crop, but would love to let it compost more.

idk if their is any science backing up this... But i would feed my chickens laying mash and shit and they laid well dont get me wrong... But i always noticed when i would cut grass and feed them the clippings they would sometimes double the eggs... Even more sometime... Usually got 10 ta 15 a day... Feed them grass and i always came out with a couple dozen plus soon after... I think it just makes them feel better eating fresh green thus they lay more.. Prob something w the nutrients in the clover and grass too

We give all our pea hulls, corn husk and the like to the BIL so he can feed them to the chickens. They love green stuff.

I use five foot 2x4 dog wire for fencing. About 70 bucks a roll I think. I've bought more as the garden has got bigger over the years. But deer can jump over it. I need to put up a second fence, about 3-4 feet outside my current one. Deer have to see a landing spot, or they won't jump. Just string with flagging would work for the 2nd fence.
