I’m working on it! In the meantime, I highly recommend “Golden Gate Gardening”. It’s a book you can request from the library. I finally bought it. It has great information on gardening on the coast. Meant for San Francisco weather, so we do a bit better here!

hi fairy tale!

if you put out a 4 seasons planting calendar, i’ll buy it! we are a bit south of watsonville and i am a gardener-in-process and i would love to have a calendar to help me decide when and what to plant in our climate. we too would like to be self-sufficient and we’ve bought a small greenhouse (6×8 for $300 from harbor freight) to help.

Ach! Wish I lived closer! @kthread did a great job of capturing the evening and I was very happy to be able to see so many photos. Some day we will make it down. In the meantime here’s looking forward to your brief visit in a few weeks. I hope we can squeeze in breakfast at my place before you all head on up the Highway!

I will also be sure to spread the word to my other friends in the Cruz. I mean, you know most of them, but there are a few from other era’s.

Cheers!

The article above is wrong in several ways, I’m sad to say. I have 9 year old hens who still lay. If your hens stop laying at 2-3 years, you did something wrong. If you add oil to the diet, such as pumpkin seeds, they rarely will get a stuck egg. If an egg is too large to pass, an avian vet can perform surgery to save the bird. If you lower the protein content of the diet as the bird ages, that prevents eggs that are too large. Hens need a break in the winter to continue laying healthy eggs, and they need lots of calcium. If you keep oyster shell out, research has shown that they can regulate their calcium on their own — I wish there was another supplement, but it appears that this is the one they can use to regulate their own calcium. They do need a special diet to stay healthy and produce eggs, so you have to know what you’re doing. Other birds don’t lay an egg most days like a chicken! That egg drains their vitamin, mineral, and protein stores. If you have pet chickens, there’s a local group that can help, the Santa Cruz Pet Poultry group. Find them online.
