I would look up the local ag extension agent.

My wife and I went garage-saling today. At the first one, I picked up about 15lbs of cucumbers for 8 bucks. Then at another one I picked up a bunch(like 30-40) canning jars of various sizes! I spent about 5 hours today making pickles....we ended up with 13 quarts, 9 pints, and one pint of...

At a garage sale today, some folks were selling fresh cukes. I got about 15lbs for $8.00. Here are the results. This is my second time canning. I made 13 quarts and 9 pints of whole pickles, chunks and slices. I also canned a pint of mixed peppers(banana, jalepeno, and cayenne) that we...

Yeah, thats a black rat snake. Good to have around for rodents, but they have a taste for chicks and eggs. Especially eggs(lots of folks call them chicken snakes).

I got Shredder as a pound puppy back in 99. He is half Basset, half German Shepard. He stands about 14-15 inches at the shoulder, is about 3 and a half to 4 foot long, and weighs about 85 pounds right now. Think full size big dog with basset legs...or a fur covered torpedo lol!!! That mutt...

Hello from a fellow Okie. Ardmore(southern Ok)here. Good luck with the chooks and garden!!!

Well things have been kinda tight here lately, just watching our money close and all. This weekend I was putting out garage sale signs for my wife, and John(my boy) and I decided to go by a local nursery. I really had no spending money, but I wanted to look. Well, we were looking at what was...

GRRRR, wish our camera wasn't broken. A couple of weeks ago I found a new fishing hole, right here in town. There is a large cattle pasture that was sold for development last year, and they built a large strip mall with a big theater. Well, right behind it is a fairly big pond. I went to...

Wow, been awhile since I have posted anything! We have been pretty busy around here, with the end of school and the beginning of the growing season. My boy and I have two rows of six potatoe plants, several of which are over a foot tall. We have our cabbages, broccoli, collards, a couple of...

My grandad told me of this years ago. Its the nicotine thats supposed to be the worm killer. My dog Shredder had worms once, and I figured smaller body mass=diluted amount of nicotine. I dip BTW... This may be gross lol, but I took him for a walk and a couple of times I spit down his throat...

This is a copy of a short message I sent via link to my Congressmen and Senators. Staements to public officials is a recent big step with me; always before, I have been a stay under the radar type of guy. The last election, a stae representative called asking for my vote, and left a number to...

MP, I was re-reading your first postings here, and I have to say I know exactly what you mean about the country store being the gathering place. I grew up in a small lake community called Lebanon, OK. It is on Lake Texhoma, and probably has a standing population of a couple hundred, not...

Thanks for the congrats all, I passed 'em on to Chass, who has done all the work. She is just back from OKC, she placed 3rd out of 15 with 1054 lbs Charlois heifer! I have pics, but they are on a cell phone, and I have yet to figure out how to download them(thats Laura's job lol). On the SS...

Hey all, hope everyone has had a great weekend. My oldest Chassity, showed a heifer she has been raising in a Chickasaw nation program this weekend. She raised a shorthorn heifer(its a February 08 yearling at 944lbs.) She won second over all in her class! I was soproud of her...I think the...

Some of ya'll probably already do this, but for those who don't...my supervisors wife showed me this. The plastic hangers kid clothes come on that have clips to hold the clothing, just snap off the clip ends for a great clip to seal chips or other bag items. I thought this was a really neat...

Yeah if you lived closer you could really load up on pots. My friend bought this house with 5 acres, fixer upper. The folks before had done landscaping, fighting chickens, horses, etc. The 5 acres is FULL of all kinds of stuff. When I have time I help him cleanup a little by rummaging around...

Hey SS folks, hows it going? First an update on the tornado. 8 people were killed. One was my buddies childhood friend. He opened his door to look out and was sucked away. His body was found several hundred yards away. To make it even worse, some bunch of crazies from Kansas came down...
