New YouTube Videos 4-25-17
We have added four new videos to the YouTube channel. They cover some stuff with the ducks, clipping goose wings and naturalized vegetables on Nine Mile Farm.
First on Season Three – Episode Sixteen – Little Ducks Have Joined the Big Ducks on the Homestead Scene we start at the gate, the gate to the holding area that is as the big ducks and little ducks have been fully integrated. We then travel a bit around the property and finish up with a little look at things in the aviary.

Then on Season Three – Episode Seventeen – The Young Ducks Have Settled into the Routine we visit the young ducks and the old timers at bath time. It is getting to a point where we can’t call them babies any longer.
We also take a look at how they are working the land and laying a lot of the tall grass flat, controlling the undergrowth but keeping the ground covered.
We stop by the mulberry trees for a late breakfast of both black and white berries.

Then in this follow up video to Episode Seventeen of The Duck Chronicles we find the mystery plant was just scarlet Nantes carrot that has gone naturalized on my property.

This final one was actually recorded in the fall of 2014 and got lost, I found it doing some clean up on my PC today and rendered it out for youtube. It is us rustling up the geese and clipping their wings.

Hi Jack, the white plant you showed us in your video which you were curious about as it just showed up in your garden look a little like Hemlock !
Hemlock is deadly poisonous.
there are however other many similar looking plants for example Cow Parsley which I think is also poisonous but not as concentrated in toxicity as Hemlock.
I think they are all from the wild carrot family and may be poisonous. I am not an expert on plant but I am cautious of any plant which has that general appearance of a head of ting white flowers all bunched together.
When I come across any plant that has vaguely that appearance I stamp it out and destroy it, just to be on the safe side.
Um it is carrot the video showing that is on this same page, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6BDuLBSph1k
This was a great workshop. Hope to make another one of these times.
