Start some bee hives as well.

They will help pollenate everything you just planted and more... plus raw honey.

Flow Hives - 100% contact free honey harvesting. It's literally setup the hive, turn the tap on / off.

I'm good. My neighbor has bees. I'm not a bug person.

Went to my local bee keepers group. Some of them had tried those "contact free hives".

"It's literally setup the hive, turn the tap on/off."

All of the bee keepers that tried it said they did not like it. It didn't work the way it claims to work. More importantly they said that the bees did not like it. They had trouble with their bees always wanting to swarm and move out. They couldn't keep their bees in the hive.

Yeah nah.
Ex Semi commercial beek here.

Bees cannot live without human intervention.
Bear minimum you have to enter the hive twice a year to kill varroa destructor mites.

Plus bees are fragile. Often Starve to hive death in spring and autumn derge. So you have to be prepped to feed your hives.

And queens die or run out of sperms and need replacing every couple of years.

Flow hives are really over priced too.

And bees put their glue everywhere and gum everything up.

I just came inside from shoveling snow.
Feels bad.

Picked most of the remaining red peppers yesterday. Except for the red and yellow apple peppers, which will probably fill a 1 gallon container.

Came close to freezing the (freak) winter before and most of them died. Lived in freezing and boiling weather as a kid. The hardship is a good way to start kids out.

How's that global warming working out for you?

Move south of Saskatchewan, or learn to enjoy shoveling snow.

I would love to move somewhere tropical. But what tropical country is not a shit hole country full of niggers?

I hear Haiti is a new up and coming white paradise. You just have to wait for them to finish eating.

niggers can't compete with mosquitos and cow flies

I'm very passionate about potatoes.

Might be a little early in the season depending on where you live, but I hope they grow well to feed you and yours.

I waited for an already established peach tree to start budding. I have my fingers crossed.

I'm trying to start some seeds on my patio in Eastern TX. Anyone know what this plant is?

It's clearly got a tentacle, So I'd wager to say it's an alien squid sort of dirt monster.

That's a mushroom.

A toad stool! LOL

It took me a minute to "see".

Can't grow peaches in the frozen north, but I'm happy for you. Ground won't even be thawed here for months yet. Send me peaches pls.

I'm pretty far north in New England. Where are you? the arctic circle?
