Hoop House Journal; Planting onions
Tonight I planted 400 onion seeds in two speedling trays. That is great because the package said ''at least 300 seeds per package'' and it looks like I have enough seed to do another 200! Now if I can find another 3/4'' speedling under the potting bench!
If I had not been lax about changing… Continue

One step foreward... two steps back... the dance of life.
My lawn mower would not start Friday night so Allison could not mow the lawn. The gear on the end of the starter had finally stripped to where it would not turn the engine over anymore. With no way to pull start the engine I had to take the starter off and replace the gear.
The job looked easy with only two bolts holding the starter on. The first bolt was easy the second one.... well I had to cut a 1/2" wren… Continue

- No eggs yet, but I am checking every day. I guess we are on week 17 now.
I have a little problem with my roosters. My older one Puff Daddy (which my neighbor gave me) is a little too rough with the girls and I have him in jail now. I have 2 other confirmed roosters who are the same age as the rest of the flock and with Puff out of the mix the flock seems much mor calm and relaxed. Puff may have to be renamed Stew.

- With siding on these structures are heavier than you might think. We do have strong winds at times though. I am more afraid of the wind tearing the roof off. I plan to position the 2 structures face to face so that the roofs almost meet and then enclose it all in wire. I will also tie the roofs together with more boards.

- I will have to save that vinyl for a possible furure upgrade. Maybe some plastic under the bedding will help for now. I am going to make an identical one and arrange them so that the roofs meet at a peak. The roofing was by far the biggest expense - bigger than I expected. I hope it survives the strong winds we sometimes get.
