murphysranch, I GOTTA know the answer to THIS one--after dropping about $30.00 on replacement grapes, I go out to mow around the vines last night and discover a VOLUNTEER grape growing at the base of the established vines!!!!!! :rant Stupid grape vines--If I'd known, I wouldn't have...

:yuckyuck, the "Little Shop of Horrors" Smiley WHERE do you guys get all of these greatsmileys?!?!?!? dipence71, last year was SSSOOOO WET, most normal plants did awful. I am on replacement #3 for the Concord grape that died a few years ago. LAST year replacement #2 got choked out by grass...

Farmgirlpastandfuture, it's REALLY lovely!! Congratulations on your hard work--hope you didn't get TOO many blisters, in the process. :D Metalsmitten is right about the raccoons, plus in our neck of the woods (IL and MO) it CAN freeze fairly deep. You'll want it at LEAST 18 inches (NOT...

Youngest DD calls herself, "The Dali-Lamb." Since high school, she's been writing little lamb cartoon strips based on the Serta Counting Sheep, with #1, Dali-Lamb (of course) and there is something about #36, that escapes me right now...

me,too :hugs

You do need to ask the goat people over on Backyardherds.com (link at bottom of page) I read the link above and was wondering what this little guy has been eating? I never had to worry about "grass Founder" for my horses, until I had my own place, and my Vet warned me to keep them OFF of my...

ALWAYS listen to Pat on ALL horse questions!! Also, how clean are his living quarters? I know that horse-keeping can really wear you out, BUT, if the stall or shelter is dirty and wet, mold can grow there, dust can accumulate, and a sensitive horse will suffer. Hope this helps--'cause it's an...

SSSOOOOO CUTE!!!! :love looks like they're wearing mom out!!!

:fl :fl :fl Prayers sent.

Are you on TEG yet? We had a thread about costs, and many of us are keeping track of our expenses to see if it is really costing us less to grow our own food, or if it's an expensive hobby. :lol: Can't find the thread where you can download an Excel sheet type--I created one of my own on my...

They Do need to be planted further apart. My (established) grapes were planted 3-4 feet from each other, in a straight line. I have 5 (in the ground)--one died, and the replacement is happily growing in a pot under the faucet, protected by the bushes next to the house. Somebody in the past...

I REALLY SORRY!!!! :hugs uh...isn't there an ELECTION this November?.... :/

BTW, Washington is telling us that we will be taxed on everything, now. Good time to stock up on non-perishables. I have enough tp and paper towels until Feb., 2011. I'm on my way to having enough detergent (for clothes), Dawn for dishes, and soap and shampoo for one year.

Couldn't agree more!! :hugs

Farmfresh , we've been to the Pony Express Museum!! Stopped there on a horse-riding vacation in 1999, and ended up at Fort Robinson. DH majored in History, and his favorite area is Post-Civil War West, which, of course, includes where YOU live.

Hardtack History and Recipe http://users.lmi.net/mcm20me/20th_Maine/CompG/research/hardtack.htm "Hardtack is the most famous American Civil War staple food. Hard as a rock, this cracker was easily made by large contract baking companies to the bane of many a Civil War soldier." Hardtack Recipe...

I don't trust myself enough--don't think I'll get the right seal. HOWEVER, if you use a jar for dry storage, so you can see what is in it, you COULD clean and reuse the lid. For example, DD's came back from vacation in 2009 with a partial box of prepackaged sugar packets. I stored them in a...

:hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs :hugs

Not surprised--SO many battlefields not 2 hours from any Virginian's house. Did you know that the soldiers soaked hardtack in water or coffee before they ate it? They didn't want to lose any teeth!! Also, the sire of the Thoroughbred, "Seabiscuit" was called "Hard Tack," which was almost like...
