Oh no....Glad everyone is ok. What a mess that car is... so sorry.

How very cool is that????? I just love it. Lucky you to have such mild weather....me, NOT SO MUCH. I keep exotics in the north which, the two do not mix well, so I must use heat and fans in the winter..

I have 250 chickens. They have a very large coup and have a very large chain linked area to be out in during the day. They also have an electric fence around the whole thing to protect them from coyote and bear. Plus the fenced in area had a thick netting over it. There is framework to hold the...

Mine was only $200. way back then. but I did guy a half greenhouse, being all glass like the large one, for $175 about 7 years ago. I have that attached to my house on the cement patio off the kitchen. Ya just have to be willing to do the work to rebuild and make it workable. Most of what I did...

Look on Craigslist. They sell them once in a while. Some take just a little investment.

I have one...I keep exotic or tropical plants in it for the winter. There is a furnace and auto watering system. In the summer most of the plants go outside into the gardens or on patios. night view Day view It is 15X26. We cover itt with 2 layers of plastic to hold in some of the heat. It...

This is the greenhouse on the patio.. It is covered with plastic now but next summer it will have glass in it. Here is a pic of the outside of the greenhouse last summer. She also plays with bowling balls. She rears up and throws them about 3 feet in front of her. It is amazing.

Alice's condo will have heat in it but not till January. We just don't have time to get it ready right now. I have to add new pictures to "alice-my-very-special-pet" thread. She actually has 4 areas in her life plus a 10 minute vacation running our living room. She has a nice cozy area in our...

Welcome to SS from Pa. A pack of torts? Wow, Alice is her own pack. She doesn't need others to be a pack... LOL What kind of torts are in your pack.

Wow I dehydrate lots of stuff but never thought of doing salsa. Your salsa looks very nice and I'll bet it re hydrates great... What I do is try some of these things and if I like how they cook back up I try dehydrating first since that takes such little space. If I don't like it when I use it I...

I have done very little shopping since I got broken. But my shelves are getting bare so I just can't wait to get back into canning. @milkmansdaughter They will only remove the inside screws. The outside hardware is good. Never gave me any trouble. I am just a little angry that the doctor make...

I took my foot off my leg and it was sitting next to my leg still under my skin. I still have a plate and 6 screws in there....There is a moral to this story....don't step over the trailer hitch....

I have not canned in a year and half. I had 1500 full jars before I broke my ankle and elbow. It is about half gone now. Some is getting old and will go to the chickens and the rest we will use up. I usually can, what is available and in season or on sale. I will buy in bulk to put it up. I had...

Oh that is funny you said that...The only ones I tried to cook were the roosters at 4 years old....they were terrible. Now you make me think I should try a hen to see if it is better. Yes I can the broth of my chickens and buy chicken to can for ourselves. Yes I do all kinds of things with it...

I have butchered some but they are much too old. They taste horrible for they are 4 and 5 years old. They make great broth. I never use water when making noodles or rice nor do I use bouillon cubes when making sauces or soups. I have 100 pints of broth canned up for that. Now it's time to...
