| It seems nothing in this parish is cheap...unless you can trade with someone and that's a lot of work. Please forgive me here...we don't have a Wal-Mart or a Lowes so competition for the lowest price is out of the question. The nearest ones are out out-of-state from my house and that's in Mississippi. If you want to buy cheap you get last week (or more) specials. The rains came to late for watermelons down here. The only time we grew pumpkins was in 2003 just because P2 want to grow them and we got three out of several rows. Now we have 1 vine this year with loads of flowers but this wacky weather we are having may end up killing the vine before we see any signs of a pumpkin. And the funny thing is that it came from a seed from a busted pumpkin that we busted for the chickens.

| You know I used to grow loads of pumpkins for the kids but this year I only grew two and got, I think 8 decent sized ones. Heres an idea for you, If you are like us and empty the old animal water out every day then plant one or two pumpkins right close by the animal water and when you change the water throw it into the pumpkins. I bet you will get a decent crop for P2. Either plant direct into the soil or in a 5 gallon bucket with holes in it.

I saw a dozen eggs on a sign beside the road for $1 a dozen
Sheep grain is $9.95 for a 50 lb bag
Grass fed lamb: $3.39 per pound hang weight
Milk=$4.59
But here is the real shocker. While Farmermom lives just south of me by two hours, home prices here are pretty low. I have a summer home on the coast that is in Port Clyde Maine and the asking price is $140,000...only 3 acres with a nice Cape Cod style home from the 1800's, but I did mention being right on the coast didn't I...
Houses closer to my farm are a bit lower then where Farmermom lives as well as this advertisement shows...
Property Located in Corinna, ME 30 Acre Farm: 2 + bdrm., 1 bathroom, post and beam, hardwood floors, loft: 2 car garage w\ upstairs: 12 stall horse barn: sm. animal barn: outdoor wood gasifier: stocked trout pond: 12A fenced pasture, balance in woods: timber not been cut in at least 50 yr. : extremely private: 1200' off road: $239,000. Additional 250 acres available.-Contact Information-Etna, ME
Eat lamb...because 50,000 coyotes CAN'T be wrong!
