trying to hook up to exercize with a friend.

We've just moved to the country and I know nothing about farming, I bought several chicks at a local store, I know that they are good for eatting, but I was wondering if they lay eggs also, and how often, would it be worth my time?

Also, what is the best size thread to use for making names?

Do you know of any good web sites that explains how to crochet different borders.

my kids love to eat jimmy deans sausage and pancakes on a stick, but they are so expensive, does anyone know how to make these at home ahead of time and freeze them, so they are as convenient?

I am making my son a sheep costume for halloween, I want to attach cottonballs onto a jogging outfit, He's still pretty young so I want something that'll hold well. What would work best, Elmers glue, hot glue, tacking glue? Any ideas?

We were camping this weekend, went to the beach, and got bit up by sand fleas, We've never heard of them, but our neighbors told us to either put clear fingernail polish or witch-hazel on to heal the bites. We are itching like crazy and trying not to scratch, if anyone knows of a way to get fast relief, let us know, Benedryls not working either.

my cucumbers are fatter that normal cucumbers, and they're not very long, how do i know when to pick them?

How do I keep raccoons out of my garden? I found one in there today eating my corn, I have a chicken wire fence around my garden and our yard is inclosed with a wooden fence, but it climbed the fence anyway. Is there some kind of spray or something to keep them out?

We going camping in our RV every yr. around halloween time, the campground gets all decked out with decorations to celebrate. On one night the kids go trick or treating. We were thinking of doing a haunted maze of some sort, but I don't know how to do it outside because we have nothing for hanging the tarps. This has to be low budget. We thought about small PVC pipes and tarps to make the maze, but that wouldn't be cheap at all. Can't use bails of hay, it'd take to many bails. Also can't use the RV. I've been racking my brain for a week for an idea, if anyone has any, let me know.

the last couple of yrs. we've gone camping at a campground that goes all out at halloween. Everyone puts up there halloween decorations and on one night all the kids go trick or treating We were thinking of doing something fun this yr. I was thinking of doing a haunted house out of tarps or something cheap, in between 2 camp sites side by side, we both have have awnings (if that helps) I have several decorations and a few volunteers, I just dont know a way to make this work. We have an R.V. with big front windows to put a spooky things in. The other campgrounds have a lot of good decorations in them, so I'm looking for some differant ideas, if you got any let me know. Thanx.

Are pickles small cucumbers? Or are they totally differant?

3 days ago I trimmed the dead leaves off, ever since the leaves are really droopy, I water at night because I don't get up early enough to do it before the sun hits it. I also haven't fertilized, is it too late to start that? I have pumpkins, watermelon, corn, cucumber, and tomatoes, should I be spraying them with anything? If so, what product brands work best?

I'm growing pumpkins, I plan on hand pollinating them, My first female flower never opened. What is the reason it didn't? What can I do if they don't open?

My pumpkin plants are out of control, they're taking over the whole garden, I've got watermelon on one side, and cucumber on the other. Everything is growing into one another. Can they smother each other? Should I trim it down? The bottom leaves of the pumpkins are rotting and turning yellow, should I trim those off? Someone told me I should pull off everyother flower, is that true. We don't get many bumble bees so I plan on hand pollinating. Should I wait on picking flowers off until I pollinate?

I also planted onion bulbs, nothing is happening. Do they pop sprouts up or do I dig them up?
