I've never made it. But, according to a video I watched, it's simple enough. The filmer: collects the blossoms on a dry day, lays them out flat for a while. She says this allows any insects to "move on". she then layers the blossoms in a clean jar, about an inch, cover with dry sugar, add...

No wonder I feel dizzy!!!

I've not let the ducks in the garden b/c I was concerned about them trampling everything, and destroying the lettuce. I'm also wondering how much the shavings from the stable litter will mess up their guts? I know they will go rooting in those shavings, some wet, some dry. I can just imagine...

Lovely day. Picked up more stable bedding. Spread a total of 15 bags on the Hugel Kulture mound, as well as about 7 double bags of grass clippings. Cleaned up some old brush that had been hauled out of woods and left to dry in the area in front of the HK. Cleaned all the weeds away from the...

Beautiful landscape. Glad you and family are all safe. What about those close to epicenter??

I am one blessed lady. A friend from Church called me yesterday morning: "I've put up all the bush beans I intend to, and have extra. Want them?" I told her to give them to non gardeners first, and if she had no takers, that I'd gladly use them. Long story short, she's given away a lot, and...

Agreed, my July mantra; "NEXT year!" Just wait till NEXT year!!!"

Ducks?

I sprayed them with combination of neem and dawn. It just made them laugh. Need to get out and tackle them again. They are EVERYWHERE.

My garden is the most pathetic garden I've ever grown.

Picked some potatoes today. Actually surprised to have some decent quality/size. I"ve NEVER EVER seen so many potato bugs. They ate those vines right down to nubs, so I expected there would not be any crop. Now, those bugs have moved on and are attacking tomatoes and peppers. I'm tempted to...

I thought the second pic was a bunny wabbit.

Finally got the bird netting up over the chicken run today. glad to have that project done, so mr. hawk can take his nasty behavior elsewhere.

Plumbing job done w/o having to rip out wall or sweat any joints. Praise God! cool breeze coming off the lake, but as soon as we got up to the road, the blistering heat kicked in. Always an amusement: sitting on the shore, there is a cool breeze, lots of waves on the lake. Too windy for...

Creal, I hope this message finds you before your break starts! You will be sorely missed, but I have the greatest regard for your decision. It is a strong man/woman who heeds the guidance of the Holy Spirit! As we pass through these times, this is my prayer for you: That you will remain...

Perhaps those in the lower 48 could bring their 4 footed critters to your butcher???? :lol:

Hubby spent the day fudging on the plumbing at my dad's camp. Apparently, the hot water valve on the shower is needing to be replaced. So... several hours of driving, plus fudging with the plumbing, still need to go back tomorrow. If I heard correctly, he'll need to sweat some joint(s) to get...

Good to sponsor a child, but check to be sure that the company is actually using donations according to their purpose. Many companies skim the bulk from their donations for "administration costs." We have a little girl from Peru, Compassion International. A good part of their mission...

4 AM today: fox family screeching. 5 PM today, bird alarms, went out to investigate: found a hawk, I think Red Tail sitting on the corner of the chicken run. Nothing but twine at 8" spacing over at section of the run, so he could easily have swooped in. I guess I'll be putting up the bird...

You have captured the essence of childhood. Enter that pic in POW.
