Silly question, how much bigger are they going to get?? I kinda didn't think they'd get any bigger than this.

My guess is that as healthy and happy as they look, they will get quite a bit bigger still. They are looking amazing.
I've flown over HUGE fields of them 20' tall. A little more of a southern clime though. They look lush, nice.

Are these lil guys friends or foes?
They seem to just hang out but I can't be sure

My littlest ones get 6'. 7' to 9' is more the norm. Got a late start this year so they may be a little smaller.

I did one neeming and it seems to have taken care of most of them. I see a lot of little spider-bros now and I'm gonna hope they'll play clean up crew.
Yar msp area.
The garden is abundant with growth and productivity.

I planted red baron and shallot sets early April and i believe it snowed at least 2 or 3 times after I planted. They really liked that. I overwintered about 25 scallions at the perimeter where the onions are planted but I have already harvested those.

That does happen...sometimes. I wonder what it would be like to eat meat from a stoned goat. Something like "self infused meat".

Life fucking sucks pretty hard lately but damn the plants look great.
All chicks are dead. I had to kill them all, another got sick and I couldn't leave just the one. I grieved the second death of my rooster, the death of my project, and the continued saga of "why in the fuck are my pets sick", on the 3rd. I gave them up to the pathologist who promised he was gonna try and find something this time.... the necropsy on the first came up with "mushy chick" and nothing else. Swabs negative for mycoplasma gallisepticum and Newcastle. He insisted they don't have coryza, ILT, cholera, aspergillosis, I'm out of my league at this point and now I'm a case study at the university. Very cool. That's sarcasm.
Anyways, here's plants.

The plants look beautiful. Sorry you had to deal.with that with the birds. I never lost any to.sickness but predators were always a battle. Lost my last 6 right around Christmas to a fox this past winter. I went ahead and took this year off from birds. It's been nice not having one more thing to do every day.

Bro I am crying ALL THE TIME. my first bird got sick April 2. I'm so tired. I want this to end. I love all my birds as individuals and I hate the thought of losing any.
it's affecting my work, and I basically quit engraving for a couple months which is my personal business... hard to focus under a microscope when your eyes are all messed up from crying.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my Blue and Gold macaw in April, and I'm still devastated about it.Bro I am crying ALL THE TIME. my first bird got sick April 2. I'm so tired. I want this to end. I love all my birds as individuals and I hate the thought of losing any.
Oh no, I am so sorry. My parrots are getting old along with me and they are so much a part of my life I dread that day.
