Hi All,

Are the hoarders going to buy out all the green
house plants too?Â* Or just seeds?

We have plenty of both, here.
Lefts hope I can get some peppers and cherry tomatoes.

Weird the things folks are hoarding.Â* Eggs and dairy?
Those things spoil!

If you can, buy some produce in the store. Save the seeds and plant them.

We had 2 dozen eggs for maybe 10 days, but my son ate a bunch of them
yesterday!

Â* I had horrible germination rates on my slicing tomatoes and the 3
kinds of peppers I planted . I've already talked to my plant guru and
will be picking up some seedlings in a few days . But for right now ,
our hens have been outproducing our appetite for eggs , I'm thinking
about beating a bunch and freezing them in a muffin tin . Then I can pop
'em out and bag them for later .

We used to outproduce out need and/or want for eggs, too. Friends wanted
to buy them from us, so, occasionally we'd take some cash for eggs and
put that $ into buying either scratch, or bedding for the chickens.


Â* Last summer when the hens were in full production mode we took the
excess to a small veggie stand and split the proceeds with them . That
might not be an option this year , and we now have a second freezer -
our son gave us a small chest unit that he no longer needs . Might as
well fill it up .
