Howdy from South East Oklahoma!

Welcome from East Texas! That makes us neighbors. I moved a couple of years ago to 25 acres from 8 acres, with my Katahdin hair sheep and Livestock Guard Dogs. There is a line of ramshackle chicken coops plus other things that need to be torn down to make a place for where I want to put a garden. Maybe this winter I can get them torn down.

I read up on Ehlers Danlos. What a blessing to get out of the wheelchair and being able to garden! You are among friends here, we love to help new people. We also love pictures so feel free to post all you want. You have landed in a place where if you take a picture of bare dirt that you have prepared for planting, we will admire it and brag on your hard work!

Welcome, we are delighted to have you join us!

This is my very most favorite pickle recipe ever. My great grandmother and my grandmother made them, I started making them when I was in high school. I’m 69 now and I need to grow cucumbers next year. I used my last jar a year ago and I NEED my pickles! They make the BEST deviled eggs!

CRISP pickle recipe!! For ya'll that are tired of soggy pickles!

Mamma Wall's Spicy Sweet Pickles My spicy sweet pickle recipe came from my great grandmother to my grandmother to me. I made 20 pints and 4 quarts this summer. I make it from memory, better write it down before I lose my mind LOL! Start this process early in the morning so you will have time...

Hi! I just found this awesome forum after seeing Russ Crow listed on Baker Creek for one of his seeds. After looking him up his awesome beans website led me here.
A little about me, I have Ehlers Danlos and after 12 years of not being able to really walk, much less garden, I'm doing much better and have jumped back into gardening full throttle this year. I take care of an older friend in my congregation and garden for her too. We both love roses and tomatoes and cucumbers . I'm married to a red bean's and rice loving cajun, which has gotten me interested in beans. And in my gardening research I've learned a lot about natural growing techniques. I couldn't garden for years so I did a LOT of reading and watching videos. I look forward to learning even more here! An offshoot of learning to garden is also learning how to use the fruits of my labor to make yummy and nutritious food as I also have an immune disease that acts like I'm trying to poison my body every time I eat lol. So I have to be very careful of ingredients, it's better if I cook for myself and even better if I grow my own food so nothing is sprayed with preservatives as stores do with fresh produce. I'm learning about fermentation this year since pickled anything is my favorite food. Pictured is my first attempt this week at fermented green tomatoes with the last of the garden fruits. As a child we would get pickled green tomatoes when I'd visit my Grandparents in Jersey and I'm trying to recreate that flavor memory. ❤
