[QUOTE="Tony, post: 164125, member: 1"] I have been debating purchasing a new tool just to take off the spurs. It's a large gauge wire cutter with a curved blade. Also used as cable cutters. I think these are just what are needed. Dog nail cutters are not strong enough, but you already know that lol. Cutting living bone is harder than most people think. There is a trick with a hot potato and a pair of pliers to rip the skin off, but I want the whole spur gone so they quit slicing open our hens. Might just order these. But, may end up using it on their necks rather than their spurs... As for what we are growing, the list is pretty long. so here we go lol. Purple hull peas (like black eyed peas, but better. They are AWESOME!!!) Green Peas Green Beans Red Onion Yellow Onion White potato (russet) Red Potato Zucchini Yellow Squash Cucumber Cherokee Purple Tomato (if you have not had it, and you like tomato, try it. You will never use Beef Steak again!) Roma Tomato I'm sure I'm missing something. We have 13 rows this year (50' long) plus the greenhouse.
