Diuretic Exercise Re: Traute Biogardener
There is, however, a much more powerful diuretic exercise which you can do easily. I found out about it by fluke after having swollen feet for months. I got cured permanently in one day. Then I remembered the exercise to be a cure used all over Germany. I had just forgotten about it. I have written the incident up as a story and can email it to you on request.
Would you please, send a copy of the story and the exersise?
Thanking you in advance...:-)
There apparently are some Yoga positions that affect the kidneys; I don't know much about Yoga but someone else posting here might.
Also, a family member was told by a physician that lying down (or, apparently, even elevating one's legs) assists the kidneys to operate better.
Here is a link that will bring you to a Google page providing several links connecting Yoga positions with the kidneys.

Youngs buoyed by dream comeback
ESPNscrum Staff
September 13, 2011
Ben Youngs was England's hero in Saturday's Pool B victory over Argentina in Dunedin © Getty Images
Fit-again England scrum-half Ben Youngs has admitted that he could not have hoped for a better return to the international arena after coming off the bench to score the game-winning try in England's World Cup opener against Argentina on Saturday.
Youngs had been a doubt for the tournament after being forced to undergo keyhole surgery in June after injuring his knee during a wrestling match with team-mate Toby Flood. However, despite missing all of his country's World Cup warm-up games, Youngs was included in the travelling party and vindicated his selection in fine style by darting over for the 66th-minute try which saw England record a 13-9 victory over the Pumas in Dunedin. For Youngs, it was the perfect way in which to confirm his return to full fitness.
"When I first did it (the injury), it was a little bit worrying,'' said Youngs. "Luckily I have great guys who were there. As soon as I knew the target was to get fit to be here at the World Cup I knew I was good to go.
"I went through some pretty gruelling sessions but it's all for a good cause. I've been fit and ready to go for a couple of weeks now. I was chomping at the bit at the weekend and happy to get on. It was just nice to get back in the swing of things.
"I feel as sharp as ever. I feel really good. If I get to wrestle Floody again I'll certainly look to dominate him. I'll grab his ears and chuck him out the ring.
"The mental side is probably the hard part, being tackled for the first time after surgery, but as soon as you get that out the way you know you're good to go.''
The successful comeback in Dunedin was particularly satisfying for Youngs given that on his last appearance for his country, against Ireland in the final game of this year's Six Nations, he had underperformed, his display in Dublin coming in for strong criticism as England saw their hopes of a Grand Slam ended by a resounding 24-8 defeat.
"I've had my highs and I've had my lows but it makes you a better player and a stronger player,'' he said. "Obviously Ireland was a poor performance by me and a frustrating time.
"At the same time I learned so much from it. At the time you are absolutely devastated but you look back now and think it put me in a real good stead and made me address things that you thought you were all right at but need to work on a lot.
"I'll never be where I want to be as a player. Luckily in training I get to test myself against other very good scrum halves so your standards can never drop.''
After his try-scoring heroics against the Pumas, Youngs is now hoping to start Sunday's clash with Georgia, a game in which England will be just as sorely tested as they were last weekend.
"They've got some very good players and very big men and they'll look to dominate us physically,'' the No.9 said. "After watching the Argentina game they'll probably go hard at our breakdown. We've addressed that and been harsh on ourselves.''

Thanks. And, its kind of funny. Our spring has arrived early and strong. Much warmer, much earlier than usual. It seems to have really messed up alot of our spring flowering trees. Just not as showy as usual. The Pears, redbuds, fruit trees, etc. But, the Crabapples are really putting on a show here for some reason.

Sure, but you're not really selling to 17 year olds, you're selling to 40-something year olds with 17 year old kids.
Perhaps this is the point entirely. It's possible that they looked at the Mac and thought, "hey, these guys are selling stuff based on nothing more than cool factor, so let's design something that looks hip and cash in on the market."
If indeed that's what they were thinking--and judging from the price v. specs I'd say that was the case--they missed the whole point of the Mac, which is more than fancy hardware. It's also about all the rest of things that Mac users already know about, such as great hardware plug-and-play reliability, solid OS and software that makes the machine instantly useful even to newbies.

seed collecting
Today I did a little seed roundup (IN MO)
Partridge Pea (some had already ejected, some were still green)
Wild Senna (some were fully brown, others still a little green) I read somewhere that these can be collected while still slightly green. I tried a couple that way as a test. I'll see which gets better germination in the spring I guess.
Grey Headed Coneflower: These things just shattered when I tried to pick up a seedhead, so I assume they were def. ready to go.
Rough Leaved Dogwood: Only one dried out berry left on the entire shrub.
Aster*: I think New England but I am not positive on the ID. Some of the seed heads were fluffing out but the seeds were still kind of white. I decided not to collect any because I think the seeds should be browner?
Indigo: There is nothing but the seed pods left on the plant, so I didn't bother looking up the ID process. I collected a seed pod and I'll just try to grow it out and see what it is.
Milkweeds* Most of the milkweeds have either already dispersed seeds or just have a few left clinging to the pods. I managed to get a few remaining seeds for some pods that were spliting open.
Midwesterner, I saw your post today and wonder if you had luck germinating your seeds? Seed collecting is not only fascinating but can be rather addictive. I have been collecting seeds for 25 years now and thoroughly enjoy it.
Partridge Pea needs to be collected as the pods ripen. It is an annual that readily reseeds itself. I've collected Wild Senna on two occasions and haven't had luck with propagation. The Grey Headed Coneflower was definitely ready and responds well to seeding. The New England Aster seeds were ready, they remain light colored when ripe. Wild White Indigo has a large seed pod but the seeds, which are sticky and attached to a spine inside the pod are small and I've found it hard to beat the bugs to them. Milkweeds need to be watched in order to collect their seeds when ripe.
I've never tried to collect Rough Dogwood and I've always done large areas on bare ground with my seeding so haven't much experience in propagating seeds in pots. I wonder how long you've been collecting seeds and what you have collected so far this season?
I am also an avid seed collector. Until this year I always collected larkspur because I had so much of it. This year however it got some kind of squishy red bugs on them and many never got large enough to bloom. I let all of the seeds fall on the ground.
My gerbera daisies did so well last year from the few seeds that I saved that I have started collecting already. I will start the seed flats for them earlier this time since they seem to take a long time from germination to flower.
The first time I collected cilantro I was thrilled to have so much seed. It's such a prolific seeder though that I am beginning to see it almost as a noxious weed.
Big surprise to me was the native Texas redbud. I think every tree makes a million seeds and every one of them germinated. Same with the Texas star hibiscus. Ditto for the cleome.

1996 Chevrolet 2500 Pickup Problems
The intake manifold gasket may develop and external engine oil or coolant leak. In some cases, an internal coolant leak may occur causing coolant to mix with the engine oil. Our technicians tell us that operating the engine with a coolant/oil mix can result in internal engine damage. Replacing the intake manifold gasket should correct these leaks.
The inside and outside door handles are prone to breaking.
The windshield wipers may not work intermittently due to a faulty wiper motor control board. Our technicians tell us that lightly taping on the wiper motor when the fault occurs should temporarily get the wipers working again. Some vehicles were recalled for this problem and some were not. You will need to check with your local dealer to find out if a specific vehicle was included.

Gallery: H-HAUS CUBE 5
When we first wrote about the green prefab H-Haus back in January, the innovative design was just a sparkle (i.e. cad rendering) in Aaron Bohrer and Arunas Repecka's eye. Now a prototype of the Cube 5 model has been completed, and was just recently on display at the Cleveland Home and Garden Show in February. We've just been sent photos of the event and the built Cube-5 is looking even better than we anticipated. We can't wait to get our hands on one of these… +H-HAUS

This annual survey explores people's retirement expectations and behaviors, as well as the impact of working with an advisor in preparing for What's Next.
2014 Survey Finds Retirement Full of Contradictions
Our annual survey found that the concept of retirement is laden with contradictions in both attitude and preparedness. Among those not yet retired, the survey found that 92 percent of individuals anticipate their retirement expenses to be similar to or less than pre-retirement spending. Interestingly, more than a third of pre-retirees (39 percent) have not yet started saving for retirement.
Working with a Financial Advisor
The expertise of a financial advisor can prove invaluable. A financial advisor can help you:
- Develop a written retirement income strategy.
- Evaluate and adjust your portfolio as you move into retirement.
- Implement your retirement investment plan and monitor its effectiveness over time.
- Simplify and consolidate multiple retirement accounts.

I know that there are several complains regarding how much affects a team when someone leaves, either by connection problems or because of your servers. In order to address this problem, I propose a suggestion.
I suggest that if the team loose the game due to a leaver, 1/4 of the points that each member of the team loose, should be charged to the leaver, and substracted from the rest of the team.
A loose is a loose, no matter what, however is quite unfair to loose a 4v5 or a 3v5 and loose more than what we get in a win.
Hope u consider this idea. That way ppl will try to not leave games or/and not get into ranked if they know they have conn problems.
Thanks in advance.

Tool Box As the title implies we're discussing what goes down in choosing the right toolbox. If you're an individual who's undecided in what he or she wants in choosing the right toolbox, please don't fret. If you're someone that isn't well versed in tool usage and you're learning the ropes then it's only fair to assume that you may not know what makes a good toolbox. So let's no wait any further and break down some of the things you're going to need to know when going into this endeavor. The materials that make a tool box vary greatly and if you're working on a budget that may also affect what you can buy. Expect to find tool boxes that differ in quality and material. Some toolboxes are composed of heavy duty plastic, stainless steal or aluminum and this can play as factor in what you're going to buy. Another cost factor to be aware of are the accessories and different compartments on your prospective toolbox. Not every toolbox is alike and storage capacities and size will play into what you are looking for choosing the right toolbox. Obviously the fanciest and more professional toolbox made of solid metal with a limitless number of drawers will cost more than a basic everyday regular Joe version. How heavy or light your toolbox is should be remembered too. Say for instance you are just using the toolbox for using around the house then you should have something you can carry around without any stress or strain. You'll also want a toolbox that can shut properly and not be prone to excess rest. Not every toolbox is going to necessarily be protected from things like rust therefore you want to make sure that you don't shoot yourself in the foot by buying something that can be compromised by the elements, especially if you're going to constantly use it. We mentioned storage capacities earlier, but let's touch on them again. This consideration is crucial for choosing the right toolbox because you don't want something that meets the extremes of too much or too little. Basically if you're only going to be doing basic handiwork you don't need a top end tool box that's nearly as tall as you and has hundreds of drawers on it, while on the other hand if you're a handyman virtuoso you don't want a toolbox that only meets the bare minimum in tool and accessory storage. If you're someone who expects his or her tool collection to grow considerably in the future then you'll want something that allows for major expansion and customizing. Many tool boxes are customizable and if you are indeed looking at getting more tools this neat feature will be something you're going to be very grateful for. For your accessories like nuts, washers, bolts tool boxes with trays that are removable are a wise choice. This makes things easier when organizing your tool and accessory setups. The most important thing to keep in mind with choosing the right toolbox isn't always knowing what to do but knowing what not to do and that is proper maintenance of your toolbox. You'll want to make sure that your tools and accessories are categorized properly, trust us that'll make your life easier when the time comes to install and/or repair something. You'll also want to make sure that you're storing clean tools back into your box this will ensure that the most correct toolbox to choose is the one you treat the best. tool box and tool box mechanics

"We really wanted something clean that didn't have our picture on it. I bought these because it's still a personal touch but that way I have thank you cards for the shower too and we don't have to wait to start thank yous long after our wedding. They are a great quality and elegant, we did not pick the entire suite, our save the dates, and invitations are actually in 2 other suites unrelated to this one. We have a early 1900's feel o our wedding and these were perfect."
"This thank you card is elegantly designed and finished beautifully. A metallic color, like gold or silver, on the black background really stands out, and looks great! Perfect card for a formal wedding and thank you card!"
"Exactly what we were looking for! They shipped extremely quickly too, way faster than was expected. They look great too!"
"Wonderful Customer Service! I had a question about the personalized color and the person helping us sent us samples very quickly but also explained how the color we were looking for might not work well once it was printed. They obviously, would print it for us, but wanted me to be happy with the product. From that we changed the print color to another one of our wedding colors and it looks amazing!"
"The thank you cards are so beautiful. The quality of the paper is wonderful. Just large enough to write a thoughtful thank you."

Australian Daniel Ricciardo is officially on a roll after bagging the Hungarian Grand Prix title on Sunday. The victory is his second in the 2014 Formula One season and also the second overall in his career.
The win came after Ricciardo's breakthrough in Canada on June 8, 2014.
"It feels as good as the first, it really does. I don't know, I mean the safety car at the beginning played to our advantage and then I thought when the second one came out it didn't really help us but we managed to pull it off at the end, had to pass our way through and that was a lot of fun in the last few laps," said the Australian via the F1 official website.
Hungarian Grand Prix – Top 5 1. Daniel Ricciardo (Australia/Red Bull-Renault) – 1:53:05.058 2. Fernando Alonso (Spain/Ferrari) – +5.2 seconds 3. Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain/Mercedes) – +5.8 seconds 4. Nico Rosberg (Germany/Mercedes) – +6.3 seconds 5. Felipe Massa (Brazil/Williams) – +29.8 seconds
Ricciardo's victory also meant that he remains in third place in the Drivers Championships rankings for the 2014 season. Hamilton's third place finish in Hungary meant he's just 11 points away from the top spot owned by Rosberg who has 202 points for the year.
Drivers Championship Standings – 2014 F1 Season – Top 5 1. Nico Rosberg (Germany) – 202 points 2. Lewis Hamilton (Great Britain) – 191 points 3. Daniel Ricciardo (Australia) -131 points 4. Fernando Alonso (Spain) – 115 points 5. Valttteri Bottas (Finland) – 95 points
It's no surprise that these three drivers are the only ones who have won a title this year. Of the 11 races, Hamilton has 5 (Malaysia, Bahrain, China, Spain and Great Britain); Rosberg has 4 (Australia, Monaco, Austria and Germany) and Ricciardo with 2 (Canada and Hungary).
Proving that the Canada win wasn't a fluke, Ricciardo is looking to further rise in the rankings.
"It honestly does compare to Canada. Obviously the first victory is special but it definitely leaves you wanting more."

Due to its extreme height, this lake remains frozen during winters but the lake's sheer beauty is mesmerizing.
Our journey to Gurudongmar Lake started from Gangtok. You can easily reach Gangtok from nearest railway station in Siligudi (New Jalpaigudi/NJP) . You can also take a flight up to Bagdogra airport which is on outskirts of Siligudi. From Siligudi you can catch local taxis/buses to Gangtok. If you don't have your own vehicle then contact local travel agencies in Gangtok and ask them for permit and Gurudongmar lake taxi fare.
During your visit to Gurudongmar Lake, you are required to stay at a small mountain village, Thangu overnight or else start early.Related to:

Sikkim tour
Hi all,
I would like to express my wonderful experience we had in our 16 days India trip, mainly in Sikkim. We started from crowded city of Delhi and flew to, Darjeeling. We spent two nights in Darjeeling and a morning view from Tiger hill is certainly recommended if you're not lazy to wake up early in the morning (3:30am). Darjeeling seem to have lot things which are built by the British when they were colonizing India so obviously one should try the TOY TRAIN RIDE.
After Darjeeling, we continued to Sikkim, Darap is not far from Pelling and there were no any other tourists rather than 8 of us. We were welcomed in a traditional style, bonfire and with a cultural program performed by a local girls from the village. Food was great! The next morning, we walked through Darap village and we felt that was something the normal tourists cannot do. In the afternoon we continued drive to a monastery which had a amazing energy. The prayer flags everywhere, over a thousand curved stones with OM MANEY PADME OM and several faces of the Buddha and his devotees and we were so lucky to meet the old monk who had alone curved those stones since he was 13 (now he is 83)!
After two nights in the monastery we were pleased to stay with a Nepali family. What a pleasure to be a part of their guest. So happy family, they cook what they pick from their own garden, milk from their own cow and most fascinating part was they mill their own rice in a traditional way without using the machine!
I realized, if I go on with my story it will never going to finish so I would rather keep it short!
Last 5 nights we stayed at Ranka monastery and interacted with little monks from Bhutan, Nepal and from Sikkim. We visited little reinpochee who is been learning to get his power back from his previous life, that was WOW.
We finally got to see some modern part of Sikkim, yes Gangtok seem to us very modern and well planned town. Good restaurants, fashionable people and very safe.
Last two nights before we took a flight to Kolkata were in Kalimpong. What an amazing retreat that was. Huge Orchid garden and other plants grown in their place, the owner takes you through his garden and where he breeds his plants. Food cooked by his daughter in law was something said us well good bye from the beautiful region.
Last two nights we stayed in Kolkata which was a dramatic change after the Himalayas. Kali temple was on a full swing filled with thousands of devotees trying to get a glimpse of kali god. We were there around 5 am!
We walked through local markets and had a little walk through the slums.
The trip was something were looking to experience and we are very glad with our trip leader Sajit Cintury who traveled with us the entire journey and showed us which we would not have seen with our own ideas.

Trekking in Sikkim
We did a round trek called Kasturi trek in Sikkim and it was totally worth it. All our arrangement were done by a local company called Sikkim Travel Express (http://www.sikkimtravelexpress.com). STE were very professional right from the beginning of email correspondence until we finished the trek. Sajit Cintury is truly a nice person who is leading the company up from the front, Sanjay, a guide is very knowledgeable young man. Cook was probably the best in India and our driver (Tshering) was very reliable.

VT Travels to NathuLa Pass Indo- Chinese Border-3
We started from Gangtok at 9 am , then reached Nathula at around 2.00PM. The weather was very cold with temperature of - 4/5 degrees but the wind was a spoil sport. With wind chill factor it was not less than -18-20 degrees. I asked the Indian captain posted there, he said it the morning it was around -16 or so, but then the Sun came out strongly.
While we left the place, the snow fall started and it rained heavily made the area dark. it was very difficult to drive.
The visit to Nathula will be remembered for long time!
VT Travels to Nathu La Pass - Indo- Chinese Border
We visited Nathula on 16th March'2013. The journey from Gangtok to Nathula took about 4 hours by Toyota Innova to cover 54 kms. It's now a trading point between India and China. This is the part of Old Silk Route!
Nathu La is located on the 563 km (350 mi) Old Silk Route, an offshoot of the historic Silk Road. The Old Silk Route connects Lhasa in Tibet to the plains of Bengal to the south. In 1815, trade volumes increased after the British annexed territories belonging to the Sikkimese, Nepalese, and Bhutanese. The potential of Nathu La was realised in 1873, after the Darjeeling Deputy Commissioner published a report on the strategic importance of mountain passes between Sikkim and Tibet. In December 1893, the Sikkimese monarchy and Tibetan rulers signed an agreement to increase trade between the two nations. The agreement culminated in 1894 when the trade pass was opened.
Nathu La Pass Indo China Border
Nathu La played a key role in the 1903–1904 British expedition to Tibet, which sought to prevent the Russian Empire from interfering in Tibetan affairs and thus gaining a foothold in the region. In 1904, Major Francis Younghusband, serving as the British Commissioner to Tibet, led a successful mission through Nathu La to capture Lhasa. This led to the setting up of trading posts at Gyantse and Gartok in Tibet, and gave control of the surrounding Chumbi Valley to the British. The following November, China and Great Britain ratified an agreement approving trade between Sikkim and Tibet.
VT Travels to Nathu La Pass - Indo- Chinese Border
Nathu La is a mountain pass in the Himalayas. It connects the Indian state of Sikkim with China's Tibet Autonomous Region. The pass, at 4,310 m (14,140 ft) above mean sea level, forms a part of an offshoot of the ancient Silk Road. Nathu means "listening ears" and La means "pass" in Tibetan. On the Indian side, the pass is 54 km (34 mi) east of Gangtok, the capital of Indian state of Sikkim on Jawaharlal Nehru Marg and only citizens of India can visit the pass, that too after obtaining a permit in Gangtok.
Nathu La is one of the three open trading border posts between China and India; Sealed by India after the 1962 Sino-Indian War, Nathu La was re-opened in 2006 following numerous bilateral trade agreements. The opening of the pass was expected to bolster the economy of the region and play a key role in the growing Sino-Indian trade but that has not happened. Currently, agreements between the two nations limit trade across the pass to 29 types of goods from India and 15 from the Chinese side. The opening also shortens the travel distance to important Hindu and Buddhist pilgrimage sites in the region.
Things to do (Forum Reply)
for the most part, Sikkim is only accesible by shared jeep.
The Yuksom, Geyzing, Peling (spelling?) circuit is great.. And a hike in to the National Park of Kanchanjunga is amazing.. but takes a few days.
Gangtok is cool too... Tsomgo lake of course, and the view from Ganesh Tok is great~
Amazing area. Good you're going!
Make sure you have your Sikkim permit if you need one!
Where to go in Sikkim
The weather in Sikkim will be good in daytime but will be cold in the night and January & February is a good time to go.
I spent 13 days in Sikkim and did not get time to do a trek to see Kanchenjunga much because the tour operators in Gangtok will only go with atleast 4 people or more, unless you pay alot of money. So I had to settle for a trip to Yumthang Valley which blew me away with it's amazing scenery, so I wasn't disappointed at all.
The tour from Gangtok to Yumthang Valley is for 4 days and you can book that at the Modern Tours & Treks who run Modern Central Lodge but dont stay there unless the hotel has had a revamp in the last couple of years if not stay at another hotel across the road which has heating & TV. I'm affraid I don't remember how much I paid for the trip it's almost 4 years ago since I went to Sikkim.
If you go to West Sikkim stay in Pelling a very popular place for travellers and only a walk away from the Pemayangste monastery. The last time I was in Sikkim in Febraury 2006 I caught the 3 day Tibetan Loser Festival and it was awesome. Really would suggest to you do some research and find out the dates for the festival next year and if you are in the area at the time of the festival I would highly recommend it even if you only attend one day, it's well worth it.
If you only have 8 days in Sikkim you will not have enough time to do both Kanchenjunga and Yumthang. Kanchenjunga is expensive but my biggest problem was not finding enough people to do the trek with but there plenty going to Yumthang Valley and more people you get into a jeep the cheaper it can be. The tour will take you all the way upto the valley and beyond the mountains is China, we didn't do any trekking on this tour but i'm sure something can be arranged.
There are some photos of my Yumthang Valley tour on my website.
Gochela is a pass from where we can view kanchenjunga at the closest.The trek is a difficult one as we have to walk at 2 am to get to the first viewpoint for sunrise .The view is beautiful with mountains surrounding all sides and the view of the kanchenjunga is better if not closer.
The second viewpoint is 2 hours away and the walk is punishing.You get a better and closer view from here along with the mountains and the blue gocha lake.The pass id 14600 feet and some 5000 m.Kanchenjunga looks massive and pandim shines to glory.
Thansing /Lamune
Thansing and Lamune are the next stops in the trek to gochela the trek is comfortable as very few places are steep climb.Thansing has a trekkers hut and a hut for the chowkidar,the place is beautiful surrounded by barren hills as this place is above the tree line.Lamune is further 2 hours from Thansing the stop before gochela.It has camping grounds but no trekkers hut.
Dzongri Top/Laxmi Lake
View of the mountains from Dzongri top.Also one can go for a day hike to Laxmi pokhari (lake) it takes two hours.Its a beautiful lake however not blus in colour as all high altitude lake,its green in colour might be coz of vegetation around the lake .
Dzongri meadows is a frequented place by trekkers.The camping site offers great views of the mountain range around.The Kabru,Pandim,Narsing,Tensing Khang and of course the Kanchenjunga the third highest peak.Dzongri has an excursion to the Dzongri Top for a Sunrise view,however we have to get up at 2.30 am to start for the top to be on time for view.
Tshoka is a small tibetian settlement located 16 km from yuksom.This was our first halt where we stayed in a private dometry for the night.Its a beautiful village with few shops.We have to walk thru the forest path and after we cross the third bridge have to climb steep uphill to reach Bakhim from where we can see yuksom some 4 hills beyond ha ha.Tshoka is 2 km away however it take 2-3 hours to reach.
Yukson is a small town in west sikkim famous for treks to Dzongri,Gochela and to HMI base camp.We visited this place while on a trek to Gochela.Its a small town where u can hire guides,porters,yaks and equipments.Everything is avaliable for rent.The town has decent accomodation as well as food stalls.

free ranging
How do you free range your chickens and protect your vegetable gardens?
We fenced in the vegetable gardens with 3' fencing until the plants were big enough that the chickens wouldn't uproot them. The fencing was more of a psychological barrier than a physical one, I suppose. They can fly 5' to their roosts, but outside won't hardly get off the ground. Actually our ladies seemed more interested in scratching in the loose dirt and eating the occasional bug than in eating plants. I had given them damaged tomatoes, big tough lettuce leaves and zucchini (yes, a new use for zucchini!) but they didn't go into the garden and help themselves.
They are always locked up at night in their house where they sleep. They're very friendly and tend to sort of loosely follow me around the property during the day, with the dog, even a long way from the house. I think if I'm working in the garden, which is a constant in the summer, they'll be there too.
I'm going to make tall large tomato cages from fencing that I hope will protect the tomatoes. I'm worried about the strawberries and early sprouting veggies. I think, once the veggies are big, it won't be so much of a problem. I will probably have to fence or net the berries...
I like your hopeful attitude, runningtrails! My chickens like nothing better than to decimate my veggie garden. Small veggies, large veggies, scratching up mulch until they have cheerfully uprooted all the plants around their dust bath. Happy, happy girls! A six-foot tall fence stops the RIR hens, but the Silver Spangled Hamburg roo flies right over it. Best of luck to you! Let us know how it works out.
My chicks arrived last May and didn't start any free ranging until at least Mid-July, but probably more early August. I had tomatoes and squash and zucchini close to the chicken coop. I also had my main garden quite a ways from the coop. The tomato plants got trampled pretty quickly and a lot of the vines were on the ground, so any tomatoes that made it were on the ground also. The squash and zucchini plants were in very good shape when the chickens started wandering to them, and they would nibble the veggies. Sometimes, I would go to get a squash and only find half of each squash:
) By the end of the year, the squash and zucchini plants were in rough shape.
Luckily for the main garden, the chickens didn't even find that until after harvest. Next year I know they will be over there as they explore a lot more now. I will have to put up some sort of fence, but I would also think that a three foot fence would keep most the chickens out.
I am also planting a LOT of extra melons, because chickens will eat watermelons down to the rind. Hopefully I will have a lot of extra watermelons to feed directly to the chickens!!!
I might have to keep them penned until the veggies are up and growing big. We do have a very large pen for them but I do so like to see them roaming around and happy. Maybe I'll put a small fence across the end nearest them. We have two very large gardens. One is 1/3 of an acre and the other is a wee bit smaller and closer to the hens.
My main garden is a long way from the coop. I'll have to put the tomatoes and zucchini and watermelon over there. My hens are red sex links - half RIR and half White Rock. They don't fly much or very high, so hopefully a small fence will keep them out. Maybe I'll use willow for that...
I also have problems with them going down the long drive and on the road. They haven't made it all the way to the road yet, but have headed in that direction, and been turned back, a few times. Maybe I will look into fencing off a portion of the property for them to "free-range" in.
re nostalgicfarm's mention of watermelon--my chickens love all kinds of melon. The first year we had chickens I had planted cantelope in one patch. We also fed them leftover melon from the store. Late summer, a couple of cantelope plants came up 30 feet from the melon patch. Then a honey dew plant came up. You guessed it. Chickens turn out to be remarkably efficient seed sowers!
I had fencing around my garden one year and they flew over it and got stuck inside the garden, forgetting how they got in. fencing is useless unless you have something over the top as well. They have destroyed many of my veggie gardens. Now they have a very large area attached to their coop that is fenced with a roof. Fall and winter they can free range,,but come summer maybe once a week as long as I am here to watch them. Last summer they ate all of the tomatos off of 7 plants!!!. They were gorgeous green tomatos,,never had a chance to ripen.

taiwan/formosa oolongs
Oolongs were first produced in Taiwan in the 19th century, importing the knowledge and plants from the Fujian Province of China. Today some people (but not the Chinese) feel Taiwan produces the finest oolongs in the world. We tend to source our Taiwan oolongs from small family farms, located throughout the island.
4 oz. $14.97
This tea possesses the classic oolong flavor: medium-bodied, smooth, a slight fruitness and toastiness in the finish. Delicious.
4 oz. $15.97
One of the nicest Tung Ting style oolongs. It is very silky, medium-bodied with sweet, fruity notes, and a lovely lingering aftertaste. Great for multiple steepings.
4 oz. $9.97
This is a wild and crazy tea: it looks like a gunpowder tea-it tastes like a floral Taiwan oolong. The tightly balled leaves produce a cup that is silky, smooth, and slighty sweet.
4 oz. $18.89
This baked Ti Kwan Yin style oolong has been preserved and rebaked for each of the last four years. This produces a leaf that is almost coal-black and the steeped cup is dark, toasty, very smooth, and slightly fruity and sweet.
4 oz. $6.67
This classic tea from the mountains of central Taiwan is sweet, silky, and floral. This is a "greener" oolong, meaning it is a little lighter and not very toasty. It delivers multiple steepings of a delicious cup.
