The bad news was, the poster of the ad was in Lee County Georgia, not Lee County Alabama as I had incorrectly assumed. The good news is after speaking with me and seeing pictures of Abraham, he decided to buy Abe. He is coming for him this morning!
I still have too many goats here, but that is another issue for another time.
Yesterday afternoon, sunny and 80, was spent potting my citrus trees up on my deck. I have a Meyer Lemon, a Persian Lime, a Ruby Red Grapefruit, and a Mandarin. I know that the lemon and lime are hardy here. The grapefruit and mandarin are a risk, but we really only get 3 or 4 days a year under their cold hardiness temperatures. I'll put twinkle lights on them and throw a sheet over them if we have a cold front. If it's really cold, I can always drag them inside for the night.
While I was walking around the house, I noticed that the pineapple guava had dropped a bunch of fruit. I planted the guava years ago as an interesting ornamental. I never expected to actually get little guavas. Not my favorite fruit, but not bad either.
Congrats on selling Abe! I'm trying to get my girl bred. I thought she was in yesterday morning so when the hubs got home we let the boy out. I didn't witness anything but we left them together for about two hours. She wasn't too happy about him being with her so we put him up. I'm going to check her again and watch how she acts. She might get another date tonight.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever tried a guava is it sweet or sour? It's neat to have any sort of edibles in the yard even if they aren't that tasty :)
They're sweet. Really not too bad. I think they'd make a nice sauce or syrup.
DeleteI didn't realize you had so many bucks. But even selling one makes ya feel better. I still have John Henry and he is the nastiest buck ever. He's been with the girls since Oct. 28th I think and is still sniffing around. I sure hope they are all bred. I hope you sell the other bucks now. A friend caled last night looking for goats. I think he wants Boer or Nubian though.
ReplyDeleteI am down to 3 now. I only plan to keep one. These boys aren't too bad since they're less than a year old. The main problem is them being too friendly. Then want me to pet them. Not gonna happen.
DeleteMay Abraham find a wonderful home in which to continue his dynasty. Best wishes.
