The 5 little New Hampshire's I got are looking more like pullets so I guess the man who sold them was right after all. Woo Hoo it's all good news on the chicken front.
DH has AT&T it cost over $100 a month and he is constantly having trouble with the range. My $10 month Tracfone flip phone gets better cell range than his. I do borrow his phone to take pictures though. My cell actually takes good pictures but it's too complicated to send them to my email or...
I've heard that the scapes are really good. I use to have and old fashioned perennial type garlic that you would just go out and pick it when you needed it. No replanting. I would usually just grab a couple of stems and diced and use. One of my neighbors came over one day when we were gone and...
@digitS' I have Cherokee heritage too. I usually grow Arkansas Travelers because they still set blooms when our 90+ weather hits which is just about now. At least our nights are still reasonably cool. I did get them planted and I have high hopes for them. I planted my tomatoes in tires this year...

There are stories like this everyday anymore. That's why I live where I do. DH would never go off grid but we could if we wanted. More and more people are having their basic human rights violated. Our founding fathers warned us about giving government too much power.
I watered last night. Low and behold I have little green tomatoes. They are on the plant that just came up by my potatoes. I do have blooms on my Arkansas Travelers and it looks like my pepper plants may be getting ready to bloom. I also noticed a couple of cucumber (straight eight) plants...
Often I will add lemon zest and lemon juice to jams and jellies. It adds acid to prevent spoilage and to help the fruit set (or gel).
Sometimes people just turn the jar upside down after pouring the jelly in. Then after about 10 minutes they turn it back up right. Of course you do need to...
A big ole howdy from Arkansas. :welcome I have a teeny weeny garden and a big pot planted near my front door. I do have a bunch of kids (the 2-legged variety) and a few yardbirds for eggs and tick patrol.
