could someone tell me pls what species of Duck/Goose is this
Comments (5)If the duck is the mother, it would be a shame to deprive the ducklings of their mother. Baby ducks need their mother to teach them to swim and eat like ducks. She has to rub oil on their bodies for them (from hers) to keep them from sinking until they can grow enough to produce their own. Is it possible to put the ducklings in a cage, set the cage near the area where you are seeing the duck to see if she/he shows interest without it being able to harm them? Make sure you watch from a safe distance so nothing else approaches/harms them. I have had ducks visit my backyard to collect the bird seeds that fall from my feeders. What are you feeding the babies? A link that might be useful: www.wikihow.com/Take-Care-of-Ducklings...See Morenew mtn home - pls help w/ new lawn
Comments (22)SD I called Lesco and they gave me a few recommendations. They told me the TMP is their best selling seed - and that is what they sell to most of the landscape companies. They also suggested a Transition Blend after I told them about my concerns on the rocky soil. One of the guys said that if TB won't grow - then nothing will. If I went with the TB, then I would have to mix in some rye. I saw on another post that you used the Lesco TB. I too will not have a sprinkler system. What do you think about the TB vs. the TMP? Have you since switched to TMP? Lesco also mentioned a seed called Fawn and said that this is close to K-31 if I want that type of grass. They said it is a very wide blade fescue. I am not sure I want to go down the K-31 route based on what I have read on this forum. It seems there are other alternatives that would do just as well in my soil and area, but yield a nicer lawn. For the spring planting - If I go with the TB, then I would probably add in 30% annual rye and 20% PR to make my own "contractor mix" but with the better TTTF from the TB. If I go with the TMP, I would probably add in a little AR in since I have these "dirt police" that I have to deal with and 20% PR might not be enough. Any info you can give me on the pros/cons of the two types of TF mentioned above would be very helpful and appreciated. Thanks...See MoreMy NEW setup - suggestions pls!
Comments (5)The seedlings that have already come up are looking etiolated, so it is obvious that it isn't enough light, and as already stated, a household lamp's light is also the wrong spectrum. You'd do better with a south facing windowsill, or make yourself a little cold frame topped with a glass window in the backyard. Still way too early to start seeds for warm season vegies like tomatoes, however, unless you can grow them on in a greenhouse....See Moreneed care advise for my new hoya types
Comments (20)yea i pulled them out and looked... i very carefully removed the plant and soil from the little drinking cups i have them in so that i could carefully remove the soil in case there were roots... i just did this with a bunch of them because im trying to keep some sort of log... i recieved almost all of them on the 4th and they were potted up the same day, im so sick over my black dragon though because im in LOVE with its leaves!!!! if it doesent root than the first time i have money (probably birthday time in dec.) im gonna be buying one or going on the waiting list for one... depending if Joni has any available at that time... ill probably put in a order for some other pubicalyxs too because i feel like i gotta have em all, lol. i have pubicalyx 'red buttons' and 'pink silver' that was grown from seed... and if my black dragon makes it than i have that one too... i really want pubicalyx 'hawaiian purple', pubicalyx 'bright one' and i think i want a 'pink silver' that wasnt started from seed just so i can see if there are any differences... and i know there are other pubicalyxs out there calling my name... lol...See Morerosaprimula
