    I know this has nothing to do with pressure caners, but Katz I would like to thank you for replying to this post. I drowned my old computer and lost a lot of things. In trying to remember all the things I had saved I did not remember this site and it was one of the ones I read daily during the...

    Massive Hubbard's

    DH bought one of those once in Vt. and brought it home and the only place we had to keep the thing was beside the bed. I told him he had to keep it on his side as it looked like something from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers". They make good Halloween decorations. He finally took a hatched to...

    What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

    IF you have some blackberry patches around that have dead canes in them and IF you can cut the dead canes out without getting scratched to pieces you can lay a mat down over where you planted the new seeds and that may deter the cat from your flower bed.

    What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

    Well yesterday actually. I planted a row of Kale and spinich and radishes and a half row of mustard and turnip greens. Then DH put a temporary fence up around it to keep the chickens out. It was such a funny sight when we got through because they marched around it like in the cowboy movies...

    Too many bell peppers and onions.

    My onions did not do so well so when they went on sale in the store I bought some and chopped them up and froze them in a gallon freezer bag and when I need some for omelets, soups, stews, etc I just get a hand full out of the bag and use. As for the peppers, great I now have Bell Pepper envy...

    I agree. I don't know what they are but I would guess that the tags got mixed up where you bought them, and you are right they are not Acorn Squash.

I used ACV and for spices in the banana rings I used red pepper flakes dill, garlic, mustard and celery seed and salt. 1/4 teaspoon each. Don't know what they are going to taste like but, it has all the stuff I like...

    Pickled Peppers yesterday

    Grow4Food, I use them in meatloaf, goatburgers, vegetable and chicken soups, and stews. I have never been able on this farm to grown good bell peppers, but banana and the Mt. Harmony and jalapanos and hopefully next year Anahime peppers do great.
