WOW! I didn't realize that so many of you have the chick-itis like me!
I have ten week-old pullets right now and a funny story. I have a EE hen that has been broody (first time) for nearly 3 months. I have tried, unsucessfully, several times to break her up. She has just found other...
My favorite way to eat squash is to cut them in half, add chopped onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and butter to the top then wrap in foil and bake till soft. YUMMMM! I do this with yellow crooked neck mostly, because that's what I grow in the flowerbeds! They make beautiful flowers.
Okay, I'm intrigued! Please tell us novices something about micro photography. I have the basic (one step up from pocket-type) fixed lense, digital camera. What do I need to do to explore this endevor? Do I have to buy a camera that will accept a special lense? Do share your knowledge.
Don't be afraid to experiment! Why not make three batches? One with peeled green tomatoes, one without, one with bell peppers...keep track so that you can decide which you prefer on your next batch. If one or the other is not to your taste, you won't have as much to use up...or it could be...
I'm sorry! Bless your heart, I've been there and know how it feels -- rotten! I'm no expert on tracks, but it looks like dog (big dog) to me. A big cat would kill a couple and take them away to eat them. A dog will kill until there are none running. I hope you get whatever it is and can...

I planted my first salad garden today! I have grown cucumbers and tomatoes for many years, but never lettuce. I planted Buttercrunch, Iceburg, and Red lettuce plants that are 4" to 6" tall. I also planted some brocolli plants with 6 +/- leaves. Next, I plan to plant lettuce seeds (something...
Oh no! Calls for a nice soft bed in the house where he can see you and not be in the middle of everything. He'll heal faster with that special attention. Give him a hug from me!
I purchased some potato vines to grow on top of my wall. They had no potatoes when I set them out. They only grew a little and not nearly as I had hoped so I don't know if the potatoes have formed. I want to keep them to put back there in the spring. Has anyone had luck overwintering them in...
I am no canning expert, but it sounds like you didn't quite leave enough room in the top of the jar and a little moisture escaped as the pressure was released. I THINK it will be fine. Canners, correct me if I'm wrong.
