I think @Redfool is using the app. It tends to highlight some pictures — usually posted by Adam or Sabine for some reason — and there was this ugly chicken whenever you opened the app, until now:

At least, that’s my understanding :confused:
Good morning, Yvonne and whoever else is around. We had a tiny bit of sunlight today, so we were out. Doesn’t happen that often this time of the year ;)

Enjoy the sunshine whilst it lasts, Lena.:)
And Happy Christmas Chicken:D:<3:

We had just enough water fall from the sky overnight to officially say it rained here. But when I dug down into the driveway with my cat food spoon, the moist earth only goes down about a half inch. Might just be enough to get those weed seeds to sprouting.

Maybe, I know dandelion grows wild everywhere here so I dont think it take much to make it grow.

I saw @CarolM ‘s post earlier about their water problems

Our local reservoir is at 43% so we are heading for water conservation measures very soon.

They built a pipeline to take water from the river Medway to fill the reservoir when the river is above a certain level (and it floods pretty regularly), but the river hasn’t been high enough so the water company is apply for emergency permission to take water any. News story Southern Water seeks drought permit to top up Bewl Water

I'm trying to sprout some peachtree seeds. Idk if I will be successful of not because they are store bought. But we will see. Id like ti have a stand of peach trees.
I bought a peach tree a few years ago. It's growing great, and has so many peaches that most of them litter the ground under the tree. Smells like a brewery with all the rotting peaches. But, man o man, do they ever taste good if I can get them picked before they drop. When I planted the tree (5 gallon pot) in the ground I worried there wouldn't be pollination because I don't know of any other peach trees in my neighborhood, but it hasn't been a problem.

Our ground squirrels eat our peaches. I haven’t figured out how to keep them off the tree.
Any tips out there?

My dog just destroyed all my seedling sprouts. Hmmmf. Not very happy with her at the moment.

I really hope it improves for you guys. It is a real pain having water restrictions. My husband calls me the water police.
