heritage farm animals

Heritage farm animals are also know as "heirloom". I discovered that this fall as I was reading along on the Tractor Supply website - my new favorite store. If you're not sick of me discussing my heirloom garden, veggies and flowers, then you'll be in for a treat as I learn more about heirloom farm animals. When I saw this new direction, I did a happy dance. It fits right into my "heirloom" thang in our new country world in my small farming community hometown. The Livestock Conservancy offers information on heritage farm animals, especially dying breeds, and I

I've spent the last couple of weeks re-potting plants that I started indoors because they grew too big for the pots I used or I crowded them in and now they are fighting.
