...Hello, SparingChange - Thanks for stopping by! :)<br /><br />It is a little difficult the first time around, but the taste difference between store-bought and homegrown is so major. That helps a lot! It's a very satisfying feeling to sit down to a dinner you grew yourself.<br /><br />I tell my daughter, these are for petting and *those* are for eating. Sometimes I have to tell myself that too. I was surprised how well she handled it.Journey11https://www.blogger.com/profile/11310182227637215192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5058055141136841308.post-74120025516109284832011-05-15T05:05:54.364-07:002011-05-15T05:05:54.364-07:00Very interesting!

We have 4 of them. <br /><br />Maybe in the future, we will raise them for meat. Just not yet. I get a bit too attached.

That seemed like so many at the time!Journey11https://www.blogger.com/profile/11310182227637215192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5058055141136841308.post-17361751998707934902011-05-09T20:10:25.944-07:002011-05-09T20:10:25.944-07:00Thanks for the informative entry today.

I only have girls for eggs but may have meaties some time in the future when my hubby gets to work closer to home so he's home more often. He's approx 12 hour drive :( which is too far to get any help from him.Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12874041763887442603noreply@blogger.com
