Phorid flies
I have these little pests in my bathroom window and they sound like the phorid flies. I have sprayed them with bug spray and my window sill will be full of dead ones but they always seem to come back. Should I spray the outside of the window or how do I get rid of them?

Is cedar wood harmful for chicks?
I have purchased some baby chicks and ducks, and we are looking into buying a coop for them. However, I have been reading different articles that say they cannot be around cedar wood. Is this a fact or fiction? We really liked one particular cedar house and know how well cedar stands up to weather, but if it will hurt them, we do not want to jeopardize their lives.

Can I cultivate ramps in the NC piedmont?
I live by the woods, but I don't think we don't get enough rain here in the Charlotte, NC area for ramps to occur naturally. I'm wondering if I can grow ramps in the ground if I irrigate the area all season? Trilliums and bloodroot are in these woods, but for the last years, because of summer drought, they are struggling to continue as well as they once did and most have died out.
I think part of my concern is how quickly the heat comes to this area and that might not give the ramps time to fully develop to survive the following months.
