    Composting Beginner

    The tumblers take more like 30 days. Went to a horticulture symposium just over a week ago, and we had a speaker on composting. That's what he said. But it can be much faster than piles that just sit there. I am thinking about getting one this year. Another method that lots of Master Gardeners...

    Where did your life take you today?

    Did the library as usual. (On Mondays, that is)

    Do you put sugar in your spaghetti sauce?

    I make mine from store bought canned tomato paste, tomato sauce, and diced tomatoes. Throw in about one pound ground beef, Italian seasoning (basil, oregano, parsley, don't remember what else), and 1-2 TBSP brown sugar. When I was preggers I got bad heart burn. The BS (hahaha) sure helped cut...

    this made me think of Dacs.

    :yuckyuck Except I can't actually see Dacs (Papa Bear) doing either of the actions his smilies are doing. But still pretty funny.

    Clstratton- a long ways to go in self-sufficiency!

    Checked the seeds in the basement yesterday. More than 50% of the broccoli has sprouted. :clap Not bad considering it supposedly takes 10-14 days to germinate. We planted them exactly a week ago, but the seeds didn't get water until a day or two later. So hooray for broccoli. Still waiting on...

    Idaho Anyone?

    Without putting too much info out into cyber space...my DH works at the INL. So that should give you a general idea of where we live.

    Abigail would love a kitty or three, however, her mom and dad DO NOT want ANY AT ALL! :rant One of our neighbor's cats is pregnant and she was slyly asking if we wanted any. I immediately turned her down. Yeah, three fish is more than enough for us. No other pets needed or wanted. Although...

    Kaycei's Journal - Don't eat dehydrated garlic!

    I made the mistake last year of starting too early. Glad I've been my normal self and procrastinated big time this year. Good thing I have Carl to keep me on track, so we didn't procrastinate too long. You could do some row covers and start transplanting the cold stuff. If you want another...

    How did the egg taste? Are you going to keep all the kitties? Abigail liked them.

    Clstratton- a long ways to go in self-sufficiency!

    It's been a while. But here's what we've been up to for SS living: We bought an electric wheat grinder, so now all I need to do is buy some wheat and we will be set. We already have a manual one too. Sure we are going about things a little bit backwards, but it sure beats having wheat sitting...

    LOL. I love it. I wish I could have seen the wood ducks. They are on my list of fowl I want to see. Along with a few others. But I did see a bunch of scarlet tanagers last year with Abigail, so I was able to cross those off my list. :thumbsup

    Kaycei's Journal - Don't eat dehydrated garlic!

    We haven't even started our tomatoes yet. But we did start broccoli and jalapeno peppers on Monday. I found a nifty chart in my Master Gardener stuff that had suggested seed starting dates for our area. It says to wait until April 10th or something to do tomatoes. So we will wait. Our newspaper...

    Lets talk about First Aid kits.............

    Finally, a topic where I don't have a lot of catch up. Some helpful mouth numbing agents (I was going to say numb-ers, but it came out as numbers. oops) are "Magic mouthwash" (I got mine as a prescription when I had a sore throat) and another is "Kank+a", which is 20% benzocaine. Don't know what...

    How long would you make it??

    Let's just say I would be SCREWED!! I didn't read all the posts...too many. We are on city everything, so if it goes out, we are finished. Although we do have one corded phone. :D We do have some food storage, mostly cans, but once the electricty goes out, so does the stove and microwave. We do...

    best plants for beginning gardener

    Somebody mentioned contacting your local ag agent. I have to second that. I'm a local Master Gardener (though I am far from knowing everything. Really, really, really far) and your local county extension office should be very helpful in suggesting plants and varieties that will do well in your...

    Clstratton- a long ways to go in self-sufficiency!

    So could some one tell me how to change the title of my journal? I see it all the time where other people have edited their journal titles, such as *new pics page...* Any help would be great. Thanks!
