    Want to Start an Herb Garden

    Which is why I have my own beehives. I keep one in my garden and one in my fruit orchard situated among the citrus. When making home remedies, I prefer to buy Tupelo honey and keep my own honey for dessert making.

    Ethical Question

    Considering that Texas is one of the few, if only States with a gold reserve held in the State instead of some bank somewhere, I think it is safe to say that Texans are preparing for the possibility.

    Planning New Strategy for Eternal War on Slugs (UGH)

    You do not have a slug problem, you have a duck deficiency. With that said, if you do not want them around but can not add a duck, get yourself some really attractive plants, set them out and then go and round them up in a jar. Dispose of, repeat.

    It also spreads like wildfire and the pods are sharp. Get the ginned cotton and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.

    Revolutionary compost? I'm sure every gardener in the world wants to be let in on the secret!

    Ethical Question

    The problem with that is that there is nowhere to run away to anymore. Tyranny comes to not for one, but for all. It is never content and always wants more and when it is done sapping one place dry, it goes to where ever the good people fled to, because tyranny can not exist without leeching...

    Greetings Gardeners!

    I have a traditional wheel, but I use a spindle because it gives me more control over the fibers.

    Tyranny. You know, what is going on in the United States right now. We have a government that is meddling in the disputed South Sea with China and Japan, meddling with Russia and the Ukraine, meddling with various African countries, meddling with the Koreas, has entrenched us firmly in the...

    family Celery

    I would not pick ANYTHING from the carrot family Apiaceae in the wild. 1. Because of the risk of chemicals being sprayed upon it. If you think wild areas are safe, consider our government sprayed several of the infamous Rainbow Herbicides all over the U.S. secretly. Assume that nothing is...

    How do you measure Success?

    Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn! From Gone With The Wind. That would have been my best guess. Technically a longer sentence, but that last part generally rings true. Who cares how someone else measures success? It is how you measure it that counts.

    Thank you. :) This all goes straight to upholding the Constitution. Rights are reserved to the States, not the Feds.

    Ethical Question

    The Feds can kiss the State's collective backsides as far as I am concerned. I'm for States rights first and foremost.

    Ethical Question

    If you have to question it, that is your instincts telling you it is a bad idea. If you friend needs it, do they have a legit prescription? Then you do not need to grow it. If they need it that badly and growing is legal, they can do it themselves. He has HIV, he is not crippled. I think he...

    Greetings Gardeners!

    That is amazing! I just love going back and looking at the places where our ancestors lived and how they made due with none of our modern conveniences. How complete is the plantation? Most people do not realize that plantations were large complexes with many buildings...

    Want to Start an Herb Garden

    Odd question, but do you collect old medicine bottles? I collect old medical bottles and containers of all sorts. There are some rather unusual bottles that are pressed that are clearly labeled 'POISON' in somewhat blatantly cryptic script. I can just envision you with one of those bottles...

    Greetings Gardeners!

    My influences are wide. I have so many interests that tie back into my land, that this is just a natural fit. I like Japanese Bento Boxes, so I grow foods that are impossible to import here in the United States. I like Confederate reenacting and just happen to love Antebellum Architecture, so...
