    Our food bank where I volunteer, stopped buying eggs from the wholesaler three weeks ago. We've gotten some complaints that we always give out eggs....not any longer, dear client!

    FarmerJamie - A new beginning

    The 2018 washer that we bought from the house sellers here, broke. The struts are going out. So to fix it is $676 or to buy the exact same Maytag is $828. What did I do? I'm going to fix the struts myself with hubs help. For $115. Can the vacuum be repaired? What is wrong with it?

    I'm not buying new seeds this year. I'm going to clean up my old ones. I have A LOT!! Plus I worry about water. This January has been the driest one since 2011. Not good.

    I watched three vids of how to prune apple trees. The best one was from UC Santa Cruz. So I went at it. Got five of them done, and then hubs got the very tall water sprouts cut more than half way down. The UC Santa Cruz teacher said that if you trim those leaf bud branches (diff from fruit...

    I volunteered yesterday at an annual seed swap. I actually sat at the Food Bank table, but was able to browse the tables and tables of seeds. Two companies mail their out of date seeds (packed for '24) to the group that organizes this. A larger company declined this year, for the first time in...
