transplanting tigerlilies

This will be my first time transplanting tiger lilies. So I thought I would show you how step by step.
First off dig a hole( duh), then go and dig up some tiger lilies( in which I so needed to divide), then plant them in the hole that you just dug.....I know pretty simple...oh yea ,then water it good.....

For a more detail go watch my youtube vlog about it

canna bulb planting...

I just love the canna tall stalks....and the short ones as well...the one thing I could say I hate is digging them up in the fall of the year ,every year...last year I tried here in the Ozarks to leave them planted....they didn't make it...We actually had a winter....so once again its Spring sorta of here in the Ozarks ,so planting the cannas again I go...

maybe if I would have mulch more on top of the cannas last fall??????
oh well, I hope you find this vlog informative...I think I do, lol....but then again I have have been planting these cannas for a few years and I learned from my momma on how to plant them.....

I hope you all ENJOY!

composting 101

This is kinda of a yucky subject---veggie scraps, manure( cow,horse,rabbit) but to the avid gardener its well like magic...you put your veggie scraps( peelings veggies gone bad, etc), manure, egg shells, newspaper( shredded), in a spot and t hen in a few months black gold...it like you hit the jackpot of sorts, for your garden...rich soil....plants, gardens love it.....

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSQ7fZr5aEw

this vlog I talk about composting 101 at least I what I know,...you just have to remember that no oil, grease or anything of that nature goes in your compost pile,bucket, or whatever or....smells, varmits will be visiting your compost, of course you do want those wiggly worms in your compost....

I hope you all find this informative....

Chicken Math

I first got baby chickens earlier in the year due to not having any bantams.....I got 4 at our local orchlens (tractor supply/farm store)....then on to the swap meet, in which we were there to look, not get anything besides it was cold and yucky outside...I /We wanted to take some rabbits there but decided not to because of the cold.....I/we picked up two D'Uccles( a pair), then stopped at orschlens again coming back from doctors office...they had baby chicks on sale...I picked up a maran,cochin,and a fry pan special chick....so I have a total of 8 chicks...
Today since it was nice (77 degrees) decided to put them outside for the day.
