The big stringy stuff is called the mycelium, which is like the roots of a tree. Often different mushrooms can occupy the same area. Different mushrooms eat different things. Wood (various kinds, soil etc). The best way to get spores to continue to spread is to put your mushrooms in a mesh...

I believe that both Seed Savers Exchange and Baker Creek list which types of corn they sell are good for meal and flour. I would bet you could call Baker Creek and speak to someone directly about it. www.rareseeds.com www.seedsavers.org

Thanks for the advice! That helps.:D

I've read a bunch of reviews of the flannel fabric my mom bought for me, and many people said the dark colors run quite a bit. Does anybody use vinegar to set color? The Vinegar Institute website says to soak fabric in white vinegar... Just plain straight vinegar though? Won't that be a bit...

Morel mushrooms and some Dryad Saddle mushrooms. The morel season stinks around here this year b/c it's too dry. We're supposed to get rain in a couple days though. Also, "wild" asparagus is up here too. YUM. Had bass for supper last night. Actually all our meat for the last few days is...

I've read that one. It's pretty good.

There's not enough bat droppings to collect! Too bad! They don't even equal up to one big chicken poo.

Yep-- He's a totally fictional character.

We don't have martins, but we do have bats! They live in our shed. You can go out there at night and there's usually a few hanging there looking at you. I'm not sure where they go during the day. It's pretty funny to watch them eat a big old bug, because they crunch it all up, and throw...

Has anyone used their treadle sewing machine to make a rag quilt? All the websites with instructions say to use a walking foot so the layers don't bunch up, but I don't have one. I've just got a basic regular old foot. I'm going to try to whip up some fast baby quilts and thought I could...

My Aunt is married to a Tate from Cedar Creek. Everyone at SS's favorite place to get seeds is Baker Creek. Maybe you could stop sometime and give us the scoop! I'm originally from Lee's Summit up by KCMO.

The key is to finding an "in" with a friend or family member who works somewhere with people who would want to buy your product. I manage to sell some eggs every couple of weeks through a friend who works in the local courthouse. Sweet breads go very well at the market I sell at, and...

:frow My grandma lives down that way, with my Aunt. They live at Cedar Creek. Have you ever been over to Baker Creek Seeds at Mansfield?

slugs eat strawberries up really fast too. And I get some kind of beetle that eats them.

I would LOVE some buttons! I have hardly any. I'm planning on making some flannel baby quilts, modern "retro" type fabrics, plus plain cotton ones. Maybe some lap quilts. Also felt animals and other felt crafts. I also thought about some little summer tops for babies/toddlers. Today I...

I don't know why not. I don't know times or anything. Hominy holds up pretty well to some stiff boiling, so it should do fine. I'd can it like you were canning corn or beans, since they're starches also. I find the homemade hominy has a great "corny" taste that store-bought lacks. It's...

Hey everybody-- I learned how to make my own hominy this winter, without using lye! I got the recipe from the Little House Cookbook. Shell one dry ear of field corn, wash it off and pick out the floaties. Place corn in a medium sized pot, with about 2 cups water, and 2 tsp of baking soda...

Thanks for the tips everybody! I do get remnants from walmart, when they have them. Our local freecycle site stinks! There's very few people who use it, and the same guy posts the same thing over and over. I spent some time yesterday looking at www.etsy.com and found many sellers with...

I do that sometimes. Our local goodwill almost NEVER has any decent fabric scraps, and the prices on clothes are getting kinda HIGH. I mean really, $3 for a used blouse? Thanks for the tip though, I think one of my local shops has a 1/2 price sale on clothes right now.

Hey all-- I'm doing farmer's market again this year, and I've been looking up little crafty stuff to make and sell. Here's some stuff I'm looking for, if you have any you'd like to part with. Cotton fabric--especially brights/solids for quilts. scraps okay Flannel fabric--especially modern...
