that's cookin'! :)

my garden is inside at the moment and consists of two amaryllis bulbs (that are dormant), but now that i've repotted them and put some water on them they'll start breaking dormancy and growing in a few weeks to a month and eventually they may even bloom. i already have plenty of pictures from...

homemade vegetable beef soup. we made 5 gallons of it, some went in freezer, some in fridge and some given away.

i know which i'd rather eat! :)

you have rabbits, have you ever tried guinea pigs?

i can't eat many eggs, but the color difference seems clear to me. they may taste ok. i'm not sure freeze dried work the same way for being used in baking cookies, cakes, desserts (that's 99.9% of where we use eggs)? my favorite way to eat eggs is pickled. :) i can't eat many of those...

it's a very nice setup. :) you may find out after a while that having many smaller raised beds is more work than keeping a bigger space. all those edges hide weeds, critters, etc. i've been combining smaller gardens into larger gardens and they are much easier to take care of... i also...

i got the worms set up today in two buckets so they can begin chomping on some of those bean pods and all the dried food prep scraps i've been saving. i'm not planning on doing any more than two (we'll see how this goes :) ). as part of that i got the amaryllis bulbs repotted so i could use...

unfortunately we lost a very active person who was a big part of the site and it gets hard to find people who want to write (instead of just clicking and swipe-ing). we have a number of new people who show up and say hello, but they don't seem to want to write a lot about what they are up to...

for those who don't want to pay for an app or deal with a proprietary format or various other issues you can also do what is called plain text accounting. i've been doing this for the past few years and it has been working out. i don't need fancy, i just needed something that could do basic...

we're about 80 miles south of that line.

welcome to SS from mid-Michigan. if you can put a general location in your profile it will help people have some idea of where you are and what you might be talking about. :) having lived in the UP of MI (some years ago now) i understand what it is like to live in a place that gets a lot of...

i am back in the worm keeping again! today because we went to the greenhouse and i was with Mom and helping deliver things i could spend a few minutes talking to them. i normally don't get out much and that's my issue and they are normally really busy and i don't want to take too much of their...

if you have no pressure at all you have to figure out if your pump is shot or not, but once you know the pump is working and during really cold weather you do not want to turn off any flows you might have if they are in danger of freezing. it is much harder to get things unfrozen again if there...

i snagged two rather fluffy looking fantasy books today so i have no cares at all what the weather might do. we also snagged some donuts and potatoes so Mom doesn't care either and that was after we dropped off some food for some friends so we did our good deeds and i had a nice conversation (i...

i just checked out your forecast, not too bad for ice that i see. 0.01 twice on top of a lot of existing rain might mean not much actually sticks. but what do i know? :) hope it won't be that bad down there. we're on the other side of this mess and the forecast only has us down for 1/2 inch...

i see that now... good day for chili and hot chocolate.

tonight is the coldest in the forecast and then we're heading to warmer (but not above freezing). -13F not counting wind-chill. not nearly as bad as what the people on the northern plains have to contend with but cold enough for here. i had to run some errands today and i did make sure to...

so far it looks like rains are mostly north of you.

i hope it all works out great for you! :)
