    FarmerJamie - A new beginning

    Agree with @Mini Horses ... cleaning supplies don't go bad.... and I am on a "no buying" anything that is not essential right now... plus use what I have on hand/eat out of the freezer if at all possible, kind of mindset.

First day of spring is ALWAYS around the 20th of March.... you know , the timing of the sun being equal distance so we have equal number...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    One of the hardware stores here, has a pressure canner "check up" day... they will test the seal for you... and of course they sell replacement seals. It is in the heart of the Mennonite community an hour north of me. It is a great way for people to take their pressure canner to have it...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Has anyone ever just cut them up, and put in jars, hot water ... so essentially cold packed them? That is one thing I was hoping for with the pressure canner... to get more out of the potatoes that are not going to store forever and have them for future use... Thinking I am going to make some...

    What did you do in your garden today?

    I personally would not do a raised bed for asparagus simply due to the size of the roots and them needing to be deep enough in the ground for winter to not freeze and damage. Raised bed will actually expose them to more cold/freezing... Raised beds are great for the root crops and not having to...

    Tennessee Snowstorm

    @Rammy ... you're in TN right? I am surprised to see that they do not put down any kind of grit/sand or something on the roads. They don't use salt on dirt roads but alot of the roads get a type of grit on the snow covered roads here that don't have enough snow to plow. You can see the ice...

    If the explorer caught on fire I would get more out of the insurance than I will get by selling it... was hoping someone might come along and slide on the icy road, going too fast, and hit it and total it...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    Just caught up on this post... @CrealCritter .... NO smooth concrete is NOT recommended for livestock as a couple others have told you. They will slip, cattle can go down, "split", hind legs go out from under them, tearing or injuring the stifles and muscles and ligaments and may not ever be...

    Coffee's Ready, Come and Sit on the Porch

    This is tongue in cheek.... "OH but don't you know, I have 4 wheel drive or All wheel drive, and, and, and....." you watch the commercials for these vehicles and then they think they are bullet proof... and practically able to fly regardless of the roads.... the anti slip, anti lock, anti...

    Newbie

    :welcome from the western side of Va. Love potato plants... they just always look so "promising".... Sounds like you are going to be well set up for gardening this year. I have had a couple of the lighter weight greenhouses, and liked them... but the last one got demolished with the winds...

    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?
