You all are posting some great pics! Does anyone have a molting hen?

Thank you for the clarification Miranda!

I've just found this website and am a new member. What are apples?

Gorgeous pics Crystal. Thanks

It's not giving you an apple when I click on it. I'll figure that out and make sure you get them.

Those are great! Your Maran just likes head shots. Lol

Friends of mine have a small Christmas tree farm in Martinsville, Indiana. We're working on starting a market garden and looking at other possibilities as well. They have gardens areas established but I'd like to be able to plant in and amongst the Christmas trees to get more production from the area and hopefully reduce or eliminate mowing. Any ideas?

Welcome Eric!

I can't wait to read your book. I love that "your geek" flowed through you and into the book!

Here's an Instructable with step by step instructions on how to make them. They use birdseed in this example but the flower seeds are a GREAT idea!

I'm going to be working on creating threads for our favorite seed, plant and tree sources. It would be most helpful if you chimed in and shared your favorites and why.

Is there a specific item you like to get from that source?

What have your experiences with them been like?

If you had a problem, how was it handled?

Thanks in advance fellow permies!
