Isn't this weather the BEST!!!!! It's only 81 degrees here. The trailer looks nice - hope the rust is not too bad.

:welcome I would love to take a class in land management for the small land owner - what a great idea!

Beautiful!!! I love the train quilt. I can't even sew a button on.

I was wondering why the garbage men had worried expressions on their faces!! :D

Typical middle class childhood. Oldest of 3 kids. Dad worked, mom was a housewife. We raised and showed Arabs (that is probably a bit un-typical) so we always lived out in the country with some acerage. Always a menagerie of animals (although I was never allowed to have a goat). :( My dad grew...

Mine's been going steady for 4 days now! :D Just made up a small jar of dried plum tomatoes, garlic, oregano, thyme and garlic... I think it's gonna be pizza time later this week.

I just got a new one, the Nesco Gardenmaster... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. My hubs ordered it through Sears. I think Nesco makes this version for the retail stores because it came with 8 trays instead of the 4 it normally comes with. It also came with 8 mesh inserts for small stuff and 8 inserts...

Hormel and All Natural... isn't that an oxymoron?

I have quite a few of those, mine are Mason's Improved - but I only use them for storing dry goods as mine are pretty old and I wouldn't trust the lid. I had no idea you could still buy the rubber rings. Hmmm, maybe I should try canning in one, the lid comes off anyway after it seals. Or maybe...

It's illegal here in Florida to use grey water, which kinda teed me off when I found out. But after thinking about it, our water table is very close to the surface, so there's not much filtering before it gets right into our water supply.

Yeah, it must depend on the state. I've read numerous things about it still being illegal to MAKE unless you are licensed.

Wow, just caught up with all the excitement. Congrats!!!!

Wicked Witch of the East.... I have one too! :lau

Glad to see this thread... and your success!! I have been researching doing this. I've decided to order from fungi.com (Fungi Perfecti). We actually saw this place featured on a History channel show on fungi and mold. It says on their web site to inoculate in the spring, but since I'm in the...

1. Keljonma's Tomato/Jalapeno Jam - Super delicious, I've been making it with green tomatoes. 2. Sweet Pickle Relish from Ball's Blue Book - I hate soggy relish, but love this recipe, it stays nice and crunchy. 3. Grapefruit Jelly - I took a basic jelly recipe and substituted my own grapefruit...

Yesterday, plum and roma tomatoes, and grapes (won't do grapes again, they took forever, but they are super yummy). On tap for today, sweet peppers, jalapenos, and seranos.

Glad Lee didn't hammer you, that was one slow moving storm. Our temps are down just a tiny bit, but the humidity is back in force. From what I understand, it's perfectly legal to make your own booze as long as you're "licensed"... for some reason I don't see you running down to the court house...

I'm doing a fall/winter garden this year, but mine's not going in until the end of September. It's still hot as blazes here.

This is the recipe I've been using... keljonma passed it along to me. The first time I made it, I followed it exactly. Since then I've added more jalapenos (I like it HOT), and used less sugar. Tomato Jam 6 large tomatoes (about 4 pounds), cored and quartered 1/3 cup sugar 1/3 cup grated...

Yesterday, canned 5 more pints of green tomato/jalapeno jam. Love that stuff. My waistline, not so much.
