Nope, you can never have too many seed catalogs around!
I have a terrible time finding seed catalogs that are for the south.
Wifezilla is right about the year or two before your germination rate drops. I have heard that you can store them in the freezer to keep them longer. Isn't there a...
Yup, I read about that in Mother Earth. I had a friend who bought a bunch of "garden soil" from a local source to fill her new raised beds. Even though she planted well before I did, her garden just hasn't thrived this year. The soil was totally black, so I thought maybe it was just composted in...
I do the same thing when I see 10# for $2...I can't help myself! Our local grocery normally sells them for $6 for 10#.
Anyway, do you want a low cal or high cal potato soup recipe?
Low cal... Boil 1# of peeled potatoes with one onion and 32 oz. chicken broth. Add one package of dry country...
I make my own cheese, but wouldn't recommend buying a kit until you know that you want to dive into the whole aged cheese world.
Get some citric acid, rennet tablets and very fresh milk. Make up a few batches of fresh mozzarella to see if you like making cheese first.
My brother gave me a...
I canned up a jar of banana peppers in cider vinegar, but they are turning a yucky yellow gray. How do I keep their bright yellow color when I can them? I only have one plant, but hope to get another pint or two before fall. Thanks!
Great responses!
Down here in zone 8B, we are just gearing up for the fall gardening season! I just planted some cabbage, broccoli and collards to be transplanted later on. I also planted some bush cucumbers (spacemaster) in hopes of getting a few more cukes. In a couple of weeks, I'll be...
Love Dave. Hopefully, we will be getting back on track. We did a study of his Total Money Makeover book last fall at our church. We got through baby step #1 and started on #2...then I had to have 2 crowns on my teeth. Oh well back to working on the babystep #1.
Makes me want to buy a 100 acres and become a hermit!
With the government wanting databases of everyone's BMI, these websites that scour the internet trying to find every time you have visited a blog, forum or networking site...it all kind of freaks me out!
I'm in! I will save some of my heirloom tomato seeds. I'll also have cushaw squash, luffa, birdhouse gourd and maybe some cypress vine(if any one wants flowers).
Hey...I'm doing something much more disgusting...My child still wears pull-ups to sleep in. Most mornings they are completely dry, so I will take them off of her and reuse them as many times as possible. When she wakes up with wet ones, I get out my rubber gloves, yank out the wet lining and put...
Love that idea! I searched and searched for a feeder that would hold a whole bag of feed before and couldn't find any thing that didn't require woodworking skills. This is perfect!
My friend does a pickled egg with jalapenos and vinegar. I'm not sure of the exact recipe, but I'm saving my pullet eggs this year and plan on making a couple of quarts with her. Hopefully, they will turn out as well as the one she had me sample last year. Good luck!
This program angers me every time I see it advertised. I was a public school teacher for ten years and quit when I got married and had a child, who will be homeschooled. I would have loved for parents to get more involved in their child's education, but expensive programs for babies is not the...
