[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]Some folks like to take a potted plant with them in their RV when traveling. [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]I have seen everything from Orchids to Roses.. from herbs to pansies.. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]What kind of plants do you travel with and does your pet get along with the plant ?[/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]Being a true southerner, I love grits and eggs in the morning for breakfast. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]Therefore I always have a grits plant growing in a five gallon pot. It requires very little attention but does need lots of water. I give it about one quart of water each morning and evening. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]When the weather is nice, I place it outside in the sun. The only problem with having a grits plant in an RV is that it grows to seven or eight feet tall and you can't prune it back like other plants. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]A couple of times I had to open a roof vent to allow it room to stand up straight, since the RV's ceiling is only six and a half feet. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]Since fresh eggs are sometimes hard to find in the boondocks, I always carry "little Red" with me.. She loves to travel and will sit up on the dashboard and watch the cars go by. [/font][font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]I have a "nesting box" made out of a cardboard box filled with fresh grass and hay. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]Every day she lays two eggs in her nest.. except on Saturday mornings when the cartoons are on TV and she gets excited and lays four or five eggs instead of only two.. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]When this happens I end up giving the extra eggs away.. Little Red likes to "roost" on the steering wheel at night so I have to remember to place a towel under the steering wheel before going to bed to avoid having a mess in the mornings. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]That's the only thing bad about having a chicken for a pet, they are hard to housebreak. [/font]
[font=arial, helvetica, sans serif]God !! I love the RV lifestyle , Don't You ? John[/font]
