Excesses
I'm not gonna apologize for the derth of posts as I have no excuse!
Seriously, I'm obsessed with the farm/house blog needing lots of pics and I just don't get around to taking/uploading/resizing/cropping, etc. I'm that lazy! It's terrible.
On to the blog.
I got my shipment of biddies (5 Rhode Island Red pullets, 20 brown Leghorn straight run) and my six Toulouse goslings. I installed them in the biddy pen and quickly realized that I'd made a mistake.
The geese, despite being shipped with the bids, are much bigger and their growth rate is greater. It didn't help that we had a cold snap the day after they arrived and they crowded under the heat lamp ...
So I had several squished chicks that next morning and the geese moved out into a dog crate.
I should have their new baby goose palace finished

After I finish that I HAVE GOT to do something about the Jungle Shrubs in my front yard!

The left of the porch:
The Honeysuckle From Hell!
Eee, what do I do? Chainsaw? I tried to entice a blogger I just discovered into coming over with her SawZall, but, alas, I don't think she will.
Suggestions welcomed!

Hi Blue,
I'm going to do a whole blog post about my shrubs this weekend, but in a nutshell what I did to the shrub on my blog is called "crownlifting." People do it to trees so I figured, why not a shrub? It's basically cutting off the lower branches to make a bare trunk.
Not sure it would work for this monster...what's the underlying structure? Do all the branches come out from a central point in the ground, or is there a trunk?
