Houseplant Experiment ~ Random Tidbits

My re-potted succulent plants had a few bits of plants break off. 

We have placed them in starter cups in hopes to bring them to grow new plants.  


We'll let you know if they grow this way.  According to the internet sources, I think we are doing it right.  The girls have given each one a name.

Random Tidbits

My hens were treated with a tray of over ripe fruit.  I'll be honest, I have never fed citrus to my hens and rooster.  Those scraps always went to the goats.

I wasn't sure if they would be interested, but they ate the entire tray.   I repurposed a tray used to bake a giant coolie with.  Cleaning has it's advantage.


They absolutely love rotten bananas.  So if I don't feel like whipping up banana muffins or bread it goes to them.
