    spent corn stalks???

    My goats and horses love them. I believe my Granny Ruth used to feed to the fall feeder pigs with all the other "spent" vegetation from the garden. Do you have animals or have a neighbor with animals?

    a couple of my Favorite Peppers!

    I like the ancho peppers also. I make chili rellenos (roasted, stuffed with cheese, battered in egg and fried). It's a lot of work, but it makes my husband so happy when I make it. I like to tell him a week in advance and have him looking forward to it. He's like a little kid...

    What can I do with hot peppers . . .

    One thing I save some of my hot peppers for is Pear Relish. When the pears get ready with grind them up with a few onions and quite a few hot pepper pods. You want it a tad hot, that way when you add the sugar it is absolute delishious. We serve it over pintos or field peas. Yummy. Another...

    Strawberry Re-planting

    It's a picture after I planted them this spring, but you can see the board to the right of the picture. This board blocks the sun after 2 PM. The plants fill this little 2x2 box and I want to put them in a 2x6 box in a different location.

    Need Pear Recipies

    Ugh, I read the wiki and I don't think I like cardamom. "Cardamom has a strong, unique taste, with an intensely aromatic, resinous fragrance. Black cardamom has a distinctly more smoky, though not bitter, aroma with a coolness some consider similar to mint." Taken directly from the wiki...

    Need Pear Recipies

    Okay I have a goal. Every year I watch my grandmothers 50 year old pear trees drop their fruit and ruin on the ground. The only thing I knew to do with them was make pear relish, which is absolutely fabulous on pinto beans. BUT when we ate them off the tree, they are not so good. I just thought...

    No picture, but it says model 50/30, which I cannot find anywhere. I just hate to buy one for $35 and its older than I am, lol. Not that I wouldn't buy an old one, but I wouldn't pay $35 for it. Thanks, Melissa
