I had my last home physical therapy this morning. Right knee bends to 96 degrees. All r leg exercises look good. Still, crummy sleep last night. I ended up taking 30 milligrams of melatonin to get knock me out. I get my staples out tomorrow and start Clinic in house physical therapy next...

You'all on the west coast are starting to get one winter atmospheric river after another. Some are Massive!! :th

Thanks, @digitS' and @Finnie and @Dahlia !!! :hugs:hugs:hugs All I know about dehydrating with my family is this: 1) DH is the one who first bought a dehydrator and wanted/has since done beef jerky with it. 2) DH and 2 DD's love beef jerky, me, not so much 3) I was gifted a used cheapo...

"Had the bean-wilting frost yesterday. Only the yellow eyes laughed it off," Well put! :lol:

WHY do I Always misspell parmesan?!?!? At Least I can spell "omissions" and "Lincoln."

Yes! Sounds very Italian, like olive oil and parmesean to dip your bread into.

I met a woman with a property adjacent to a farmer's field. She brought it heavy landscaping rocks and "Planted" them where the farmer's machinery would get damaged if run too close. I have let saplings grow up against the farm field behind me, same reason.

Thanks!! I had several colors of tomatoes, making the jars look festive. I sent middle DD some links. She makes homemade pizza, and there are recipes to rehydrate and use them on pie where you make them from scratch. It was fun to push them from below the racks to extract many of them. Some...

Funny, the older you get, the more your wish lists include energy, dexterity and time! IF I am healthy enough next Spring, I would LOVE to cut paper grocery sacks up and lay them in between my garlics so I won't have to weed the bed. DD planted them 6 inches apart, told me that she also planted...

Nope. Preparation is Always key, and a lot of questions of Why didn't this grow well? can be answered by, What did you do to prepare the soil for the seeds? :love

Now that I have dehydrated 3 1/2 quarts (gave one quart to middle DD) of tomatoes that ripened on my kitchen table for the last month, not exactly sure how to use them. :hu DH put some on a sandwich recently and like it. Eldest DD put them on a frozen pizza and baked it and Hate them on that...

O I C You prepare the soil in the bed, rake it smooth, the dibbler makes the holes, you drop in the seeds, then cover over. Correct?

RE: Amaryllis, the big New thing for Christmas 2023 (and also for 2024), is "wax Amaryllis", which means that they chop off the roots, insultate the bulb in wax and claim that it will flower without any water. My experience from last year is that our amaryllis Did flower, 4 of them. Ours was...

@Zeedman , am So sorry about the German Red Garlic. What a bummer!! You had to wait a whole year for that crop! :rant

I think putting 2025 garlic closer to the house will help me a LOT with harvesting both scapes and the bulbs and their replanting. Located within visual distance from the back door is a better location for my garlic. I mean, changing up your crops is like redecorating your house every year...

I I would LOVE to get plans to make those dibble boards!

From my experience germination time for tomatoes depends upon their age. If they are Years old, they can Still germinate, though it takes longer. If you give up on them too soon, you could forget about them and they will dry out and die, which happened to ME with 35yo family tomato seeds years...
