Re: Daisy is gone...Fingers crossed for you and Daisy, Egg. It must be really stressful for you.
Re: Is Organic better?
Re: Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables.....I don't know, Michael. If they're selling the 'imperfect' fruit and veg at a lower price, then it's probably worth it to a lot of people. There are a lot of individuals and families struggling to afford fresh produce right now, and having a cheaper - but still fresh - option might make all the diffe...
Re: Shadow is broody again!Aw, poor thing. I'd have her if we lived closer. I hope she gets over it and settles down.
Re: Inglorious Fruits and Vegetables.....The farmers would definitely do a lot better out of it if they could do direct sales, because supermarkets are notoriously awful to their suppliers (just one example: all those BOGOF offers are funded by the suppliers, not the supermarket, and the suppliers have no choice but to fund them whenever t...

Re: It's amazing we eat an egg !All excellent points, Richard! But you missed the issue of where the eggs come from. My mother was telling me the other day about a small boy she once knew who would eat as many eggs as he could get, until the day he saw a hen lay one. He came barrelling into the kitchen to inform his mother of the ...

Re: Now Buffy tooI'm so sorry, Freeranger.
Re: Just said goodbye to my last little henI'm so sorry, Dee.
