Whatcha growin?

My Korean pickling radish and savoyed spinach popped up in yesterday’s warm temps.

I lost a couple broccoli babies the other night because I was too lazy to cover them so I’ll set out replacements today.

We’d love to see your garden progress on r/VAGardening. Come share your success and failures with us so we can all learn.

There was never good consensus from veterinarians and various extension offices around the country about whether to take feeders or baths down or not. You’ll find many sources promoting both views. I don’t have feeders on site because I’m actively planting natives instead but I do have a bath and plan to add more this year. They get fresh water daily and a good bleach scrub weekly.

The massive pile of wood chips from ChipDrop is mocking me this morning so that’s what I’m tackling today.

I’ve also been working on befriending a family of crows that live on my property. Today is the first day they came down to feed with me standing nearby. 🖤

I'm aware that it occurs. I worked in the animal health field for 12 years where I traveled between shelters and veterinary teaching hospitals to help develop relationships between the two groups and assist with the writing of behavior assessment protocols and curricula with help from groups like AVSAB, HSUS, the SPCA, the APDT.

I'm in no way denying the killing of hunting dogs occurs. I'm suggesting that the person I initially responded to has a heavy bias against hunting in general, probably doesn't know a single hunter and the care that many (not all) put into their dogs, and is painting with a stupidly broad brush - and that OP's pooch would be a poor candidate for a hunter to adopt to begin with so their argument against giving the dog to a hunter to begin with is moot.

This is the second dumbest thing I've seen on the internet today.

But to add some relevance to OP's post...I don't know anyone that hunts with dogs that would take this pooch.

He's unproven as a hunter and given the issues, won't be worth the time to train when there are plenty of other beagle/hound litters from proven lines of trackers to draw from.

Triangle Rock Climbing, Ashland Skateland, and Jumpology (now DEFY Richmond) were always favorites. We’d also go to the various gymnastics clubs around town when they had Open Gym days.

If we were looking for low-key, low-cost/no-cost options strolling around the greenhouse at local nurseries was and still is a fun thing for us as a family. The VMFA is never a bad option. Odd Balls Collectibles and similar places are a fun nostalgia fest for us and the kids enjoyed all the toys.

I'm sure it's fairly easy to look up Richmond and other surrounding counties. I happened to have the relevant sections bookmarked for Henrico and Hanover.

Henrico: https://library.municode.com/va/henrico_county/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=CD_ORD_CH24ZOOR_ART4USRE_DIV4ACUSST_S24-4419ACKEANOUDWACDW

Poultry.
