Starting a small garden is easier than you think– and you don’t need a big yard to do it. With a few pot, good soil, and a sunny spot you can grow your own herbs, veggies, and flowers. It’s a simple pleasure to grow and bring fresh food to your table.
Candling eggs is a simple and important part of hatching—it’s how you check whether an egg is developing properly. You shine a bright light (flashlight) through the egg to see what’s going on inside without cracking it open.
Raising chickens is a fun and rewarding way to enjoy fresh eggs, and a little country charm right in your backyard. With a good setup and a little daily care, anyone can start a happy hen house.
