Hugs:hugs this too shall pass. This time of year is stressful for me and then the anxiety rears its ugly head.

I only use the powdered stuff and the low or no sugar type. I just can't bring myself to put more sugar than fruit in my jams and jellies. I do however use the liquid Certo for my pepper jelly because the finished product actually looks better.

I have been bartering with friends for produce that I don't have. I let farmers use my parking lot and forklift to unload produce to sell and I have been given 5 bushels of peaches ( not all at once) 1 bushel pears and 1 bushel Jonagold apples. All but the apples have been canned. I traded a...

Now a want a bacon bit at my house.

Those are beautiful apples.

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Got my broccoli, kale, cabbage and cauliflower started. They are up and looking good. In this zone 5 we had a Mother's Day blizzard snapping the trees last year so as much as I wanted to rush it I didn't.

Thank you

Any rain not wanted will be welcome here. Love the pic of Ebony, I had a Cocker named Ginger and I still miss that dog too.

I haven't been able to even deal with much lately. My family got the news that my little brother killed himself. Still reeling from the shock and asking for prayers to help ease the hurt. Putting myself in God's hands!

Spent the morning in the garden and still picked a few ripe tomatoes, unheard of for the middle of November. There are plenty of green ones and everything is getting gleaned. The storm forecast looks ugly and freezing for the next week with temps 18 degrees at night so no amount of covering is...

Welcome

Beautiful mushrooms! Too dry here to hunt for those but my kids in Oklahoma get them and show me the pictures so I can be :D with envy.

Enjoying The Harvest

Those are great ideas. A poster with detailed instructions should leave nothing to question. And the deposit insures that it will get cleaned either way. :thumbsup I had also tossed around the idea of freeze drying equipment but the prices for the units are crazy expensive.

To answer Your question from so long ago Britesea I was thinking that I could get my Cottage Foods license and market my home canned items at the Farmers Market for extra income. I already sell garden produce at the market and to do anything else I have to be licensed thru the state and have a...

Seriously?? A year since I wrote in my journal, what have I been up to? Life goes by so fast. Well it was a very busy year. The little house still sits as is while I save money to do something with or to it. Good news is the garden was amazing this year. In fact I am still trying to get the...

Sure hope your steer turns up. After what I have read you are not lazy, if fact you sound very productive to me.

Oh I wish I had nuts to trade, but this year I lucked out and traded tomatoes for fresh pistachios. Never had the fresh ones and they are heavenly. The thin outer husk smells wonderful sort of citrus like. Loved them!
