I Also understand "balloons" bc Mobile Notaries are tested on and must UNDERSTAND loan terms without expressing any opinions about your particular loan...
This is what I did with the last cucumbers gathered before the frost last week. Canned last night, 15 minutes to process, I hot water bathed them. I followed a recipe, but then I opened up a jar of Pickling Spices that I bought last year at Rural King. It was SO FRAGRANT that I had to add it...

I think you could grow them if you give them winter protection.
EVEN THOUGH I had read about hybrid magnolia's, the girl series, which is mine and DD's, Magnolia Jane and Magnolia Betty, that...
Don't forget to mulch and pile up your leaves for next year's compost!! They make the Very best compost, and Darwin studied how worms used leaves to make soil.

THX!! I bought most of the plants, but 3 were volunteers from last year. It must have been location, south part of my big garden, lots of full sun and lots of amendments over the years there. I have NEVER grown tomatoes that were this Big before!! :th
I have saved seeds from one volunteer...
OMGOSH!!! We've had cell phones for nearly 40 years now!! First one was a bag phone, more modern but very much like the old Army type phone. Never been the first in line for any new phone, and mine is an Android, but I have trouble leaving the house without it.

They are happily cooking away. This evening DH and I are going to try...

Also, tomato canning this weekend, too. :love

In the summer it can go bad even if I get the pitcher in the...
