What's growing on, Beehaw?
What's growing on, Beehaw?
There's so much to do this time of year that the days are a blur! But my garlic is all planted out now, and I'm working on seed collecting as well. I've got my propagation presentation this Monday, sadly light on the memes so far (but working on it, if anyone has asexual-plant-reproduction-adjacent memery to offer).
What's growing on with you all?
You're viewing a single thread.
We put in a bunch of trees and bushes this spring on our new property, so we had zero expectation of actually harvesting anything at all this year.
One of our raspberries has surprised by cranking out a couple of canes this fall. I'm grabbing a handful every other day or so, just collecting them in the freezer until I have enough to do something interesting.
I've missed eating things I grew. Our ducks should start producing eggs soon, I'm very excited about that also.
That's awesome to hear, and I'm very glad the raspberry has begun to reward you for it!
What kind of ducks are you raising? We raise muscovies, ourselves. Please feel welcome to share about them over in !Animals and Pets
We've got a melange of ducks, khaki Campbell, blue runner, swedish blue, Cayuga, and Ancona. My favorite might be the Anconas. Although, our khakis used to be very skittish, our drake just lets me pick him up now though lol
We actually got our first egg this morning!
I've heard muscovies are great producers, great foragers, and great reproducers. Has that been your experience?
Oh wow! And congrats, that first egg is always super exciting even when you know there's more to come.
The muscovies have been great for all of those things, yes. There are several weeks each year where I've got to follow them around for an hour after letting them out just to keep them from hiding clutches from me though
