I'm moving out in 8 weeks and a couple months ago this adorable little dresser showed up in my bedroom. My mum likes to browse Kijiji and pick up random pieces of furniture. She just dumps them off into someones bedroom and we attempt to fit them into our life OR we refinish and sell them. This...

i don't even know where this should go, so i'm going to say here. because, that's how i roll. i've been away for a while. a long while, from sufficientself. mostly because i've been living in toronto and have been pretty detached from my parents place/the farm/all that sufficient living and...

Ok so it seems we have cat fleas here, and not just on the kitties =\ two things I was curious about, how do we go about getting rid of them from our furniture, and softgoods and how do we get rid of them off the cats? (There are 3 cats for sure we can't catch!). Mum wants to know if we can use...

I made my first cat ear hat when I was 14 years old out of some left over polka dotted blue polar fleece. It was badly made, and nothing was measured and I really didn't even use a pattern, but I LOVED that hat. By 10th grade the hat had kind of become my thing. People knew me at shows or...

We bought this Salmon from Costco a while ago, and on the weekend got it again. I hate salmon usually with a firey passion, but my dad loves it and I need some sort of compromise. This salmon I happen to LOVE. Anyone have or know of a recipe for a Chili marinade for salmon?

I wasn't sure where to put this so I'm putting it here. Someone asked about Tamworth Pigs in Ontario on BYH and I know of this farm in particular that has them. However, they have all kinds of awesome SS ideas and believe in the Slow Food Movement so I thought you guys would really like it...

I was out for 15 minutes yesterday in a tube dress and my back is scorched. Like seriously, lobster red here. Its killing me and I'm unable to lie on my back to sleep because of it! Anyone got any natural/home remedies to try out? I have fair skin and burn super easily.

Ha talk about a lazy-butt eh? I started this like 2 months ago. Maybe more. Things just got in the way. University stuff got in the way (I GOT MY LOAN WOOHOO!). Farm stuff got in the way. Its nothing fancy and could probably do with some minor adjustments to the design. Its more or less from...

I just wanted to let everyone know that I have really appreciated all the great advice and help that has been offered over the last 5 months regarding Mylie, but unfortunately Mylie has to be euthanized. I was willing to give her away to someone competant who can handle her but new information...

Looking for a good Burger Bun recipe, nice a soft and easy to make! We use a breadmaker for the dough.

Has anyone put together a garden plan yet? I've narrowed down the list of things I want to plant, and the jobs that need to be done and I'm just now drafting up a garden plan to show where everything will end up going. I'll scan mine into the computer later and post it all coloured in and...

This might not be in the right place, but we'll find that out in enough time lol. Basically, after adding Blackbird to Fbook, I'm quite interested in the average age of our board members So, the question is... HOW OLD ARE YOU? I'll start, since I was born in the craptacular month of January...

I have 3 Nectarine Trees, 2 Cherry Trees, 2 Pear Trees (smallllll), and 5 Apple trees.. 2 of my apple trees are 1.5 years old and all the other trees were planted this past summer. When and how should I prune my trees?

Well in a mere few hours the red hens should be making their way to a new home where they can free range to their hearts content (and hopefully get a bum wash, some of them are kind of grubby). So despite Performance Poultry's ordering system not being up yet I am mulling over breeds, from a...

Well after a lot of burns and a very unhappy mother we've decided to purchase a Tomato press for this year. Does anyone have one? How much did you pay for yours? How hard was it for you to find one? I have access to a restaurant supply store called Hendrix and they can order most things but...

I had one of these before but I'm one of those people who can't stick to anything. I'm like vegetable oil, except I don't make everything oily... I just make everything not stick.. I think Pam would be better actually. Welcome to Lupin Farm, a working to self-sufficient (slowly and badly)...

I found an article in my Hobby Farms magazine where the person was making a 4 sq. ft. raised bed out of cinderblock and that got me thinking... We have an old rabbit barn on our property made entirely out of cinderblock. It must have fallen down years ago and all that is left is the cinder...

http://www.thestar.com/news/sciencetech/environment/article/716581--man-s-best-friend-mankind-s-worst-enemy I was less than impressed to read this bit of nonsense the other day when my dad sent it along. Unfortunately the entire piece implies that we feed our cats and dogs on whole cuts of...
