No, I didn't. That was great! Someone should tell him that he's not going to get two eggs a day from each chicken though... :(

Rachel commented on Admin's photo 'The colors of summer! Dolce Verde'

Yay! I'm so glad they're working out! 20 lbs is incredible! I'm only somewhere between 3 and 4. How many plants did you end up using? I think I only have about 20 tomato plants and a few of those aren't thriving because they're in too much shade.

Rachel replied to Admin's discussion 'An orchard for St Vincent de Paul'

I voted for it. I hope they get it. I don't buy Nestle products. The net positive of the orchard and what it stands for and what it can do to educate and provide for people is worth it. Someone is going to win this orchard, why not St. Vincents--- a…

Last week I checked with Tempe City because they had a change in their chicken laws. They have up to 5 chickens still but no regulation on distance between neighboring house. Thought you might like to know. I am still dreaming of first chicken...

Happy 4th of July!

Is your last name by any chance Lewis? If so, Anne Goldfeld recommended that I contact you re: assisting IRC in its work. Thx

what distance between coop & neighbor's house did you say has to be maintained in tempe if I keep chickens? I checked my HOAs by laws. It does not specify house or yard pets - it just says "common house or yard pets, reasonable number, not very noisy" etc. Hmmm... Loophole there.
