Isuzu Mr Truck

The plant matures up to 3 feet (.91 m.) with a similar width. Bobozam arborvitae grows so close to the ground that the foliage mostly covers this classic bark of the false cedar family.

The big branches of the tree were breaking off, including the branch with his hole. Mr. Squirrelah was hanging on for dear life, being thrown back and forth in his home. He remembered the way back down the hill and through the yards.

The owner of the Ape in the photo is a local small farmer. That honor would go to the little three wheeled scooter trucks called Ape (Ah-Pee). There is one wheel in front and two wheels in the rear.

Sound like trouble? I don't really have a farm, just an obsession with my Italian-style vegetable garden, and as much as I once loved my various cowboy trucks and cool sports cars, I don't even own a car or truck anymore.

While Mr. Mabel is spending the day looking for food for his girls, watching for predators, and strutting around like he owns the place, he's also forced to keep one eye on Mr. Molly and the unfaithful Bobbi Jo. The way it happens is insidious: The flock...

I pushed the Vespa—still loaded—to the nearest mechanic. Things didn't work like that with my Isuzu Trooper back in the States. My Vespa will carry two bags of concrete or 12 big bricks.

Mr. Molly retreated, as he should. In the end, I've found that I just have to let them work it out, hoping neither one gets seriously hurt. I can only hope his cowardice continues.

In the midst of my diatribe, it suddenly hit me: “What am I doing?” I asked myself, in disbelief. Instead, I picked up my iPhone and fired up a game of “Angry Birds.” Read more of City Stock » Tags Audrey Pavia , chickens fighting , city stock...

Four-wheel drive is also ideal if you want to get down and dirty in tough conditions. We use our four-wheel-drive truck every winter for the purpose of moving hay from one area of the farm to another, and in the aftermath of major snowstorms, it makes...

I ran for the garden hose — the only thing I know that will break them up — and squirted them with a strong jet of water. As I sat helplessly on my horse, I remembered what an experienced chicken keeper once told me about roosters who live together:...

“Subjecting family farmers and ranchers to costly requirements is an unnecessary burden we cannot afford.” A 90-day extension to the current bill has been approved through June 30, 2012, while the House finishes revisions to the bill.

Mr. Molly is always last. The scene is always the same: I go outside, feed the horses and then make my way to the coop where the flock was locked in for the night. The next segment to the morning ruckus is the race to the horse stalls.

Receiver hitches do, however, put the tongue weight behind the rear axle, which tends to lift the front wheels. Close isn't good enough: A 2-inch trailer hitch will part ways with a 1 7/8-inch ball, and a 2 5/16-inch trailer hitch will come off of a 2-inch...

I herded Mr. Mabel off, but he soon came back around. Take yesterday, for example. I ignored him as I brushed out Milagro's shedding winter coat, until I saw him getting closer and closer to Milagro's right hind leg.

She's in distress and he's the man on the job. When Mr. Mabel is in the mood for love, “no” is not an acceptable answer. I sit down on the ground and call Mr. Mabel, who runs over, sees that a mealworm feast is about to occur, and begins to call his...

Once the eye healed, Mr. Mabel came back with a vengeance, and Mr. Molly was put back in his place. He was the lucky one who got to breed with the hens only one year, and that's because he happened to land a well-placed peck to Mr. Mabel's eye.

I had never seen this body language before. I knew he would hassle people he didn't know, but Michelle has been living here for nearly a year. He pushed around my visiting friend from Pittsburgh about a year ago (see “Stephanie vs.

Unfortunately, Mr. Mabel has way too much testosterone for that to ever be the case. I tried to remember: Did I say something to him about chicken soup? Tags Audrey Pavia , bantam Cochin mix , mr.

If you live in a northern climate, you probably share one of my winter frustrations. The company makes multiple sizes or different situations. Then my wife saw Woodmate's Mr. Grip in a catalog.

Two of Mr. Austin's rose bushes named Mary Rose and Graham Thomas were introduced in Chelsea, (West London, England) in 1983 and seemed to spark popularity for his English roses in that country as well as the rest of the world.

If you would have done differently, I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. As you know, whenever dealing with nature, you have to use your senses, and we used our best judgement to proceed in what we felt was the best interest of ourselves...

I learned that the majority of our group (six out of eight) doesn't take advantage of the free leaf compost given away by our municipality. You can do this either after or before seeding (I prefer after so it helps protect the seeds from marauding birds...

As you can see, it is a painstaking process to be sure. They had many roses that were named All-America Rose Selections over their nearly 50 years in the business. Mr. “Ollie” Weeks was recognized for his excellence in the field of commercial horticulture...

When I first got chickens, I wanted just […] He would be the one most likely to try to take over the flock someday. And then, suddenly, I found myself with four of them. Unlike his father, Mr. Mabel, he seemed to be very sweet.

Many were victims of newly introduced diseases, such as cucumber mosaic virus, and insect pests, specifically the American lupine aphid. Many thanks to the photographers who make their work available through such resources as Flickr Creative Commons,...

Of course, we knew that winter would bring some interesting challenges, and we've created backup plans—and backup plans to the backup plans—for how we'd get down our steep, curvy driveway when a major snow or ice storm hit.

And finally, before you embark on a trip across state lines, be sure you have the correct paperwork in hand. Sheep must be wearing USDA-approved scrapie ear tags, or if they're micro-chipped, you must have your own micro-chip reader along on the trip.
