Mason Bee Hotel at the Learning Garden (donated by the Sierra Valley Grange last year) has been very active since last week. During the five minutes I was watching, I noticed 6 different types of mason bees come in and out of holes.
That's fantastic! You found a good safe place for it. They are happy.
These eggplant are legit! Can't help but get happy feels every time I go to the garden. Really hoping to share this wonderful space with students this fall🤞

When selecting your show hog, there are many areas that you need to assess. The first area you should evaluate is structure. If a baby pig has poor structure, it will be difficult for the animal
to function as a 260 to 280-pound pig. Here are some points to keep in mind when selecting for your new swine project. #texas4h #swinesunday
