@Carol Dee I was reading an article on how Covid is spiking across the midwest and how per capita, Iowa is leading in Covid cases. Do you ever use Elderberry for flu season? I make elderberry syrup each year to help ward off the flu. We went elderberry picking last week and I have my berries in...

Sounds like you have a decent garden. There is nothing like dirt therapy.

I love the T on top of the T-post, what a great idea. I'm gonna try that for next year.

@marshallsmyth don't go away again! Are you renting a house with a yard? At least you are able to grow something, can't keep a good gardener down.:weee I'm so happy that you are back! :weee

@ninnymary I just squeeze it in the bag, no need to mess up the colander. LOL

That he does. And I love him. Like I said from the very start, he was meant to be mine. He is under my footrest right now.

Howdy back at ‘cha!!!! I’m so glad to hear from you!! Are you going to catch us up on what’s been going on with you? You know, we have missed you so much! I’m thrilled, I hope you are back to stay!!

Thanks for posting this!! I bought a packet of seeds, but didn't plant them. I also have no idea of what to do with them. Maybe now I will try growing them.

Our son came for an overnight visit last week. He was sitting in the recliner sofa, feet up, boots off, and Sentry cautiously approached and sniffed DS's feet. It was a big moment. :lol: Sentry licked a toe, sniffed again, then backed off to sit by me, on guard. :gig:gig Next day, DS and I were...

I picked a few peas and some green beans.

Yes, freeze it! I grate it and bag in 2 cup portions, no blanching. Let thaw, drain off water and use like fresh. I have even put it in soups, stew and chili. It just sorta disappears and thickens up what I’m cooking.

Today I will be canning chicken for the dogs. It is clean out the freezer day. We bought four 10# bags of leg quarters for the dogs, I'm cooking the last one now. I dragged out bags of chicken parts left over from our last chicken slaughter day, will be canning those too.

@TwinCitiesPanda I am sorry for your situation. This virus is a cruel enemy. I hope that you come back here in the spring, we will miss you while you are away.

I made pickles today. I got 9 pint jars. I blanched and put in the freezer a half bushel of peas. Yesterday I gave our neighbors a wash pan of purple hull peas and tomatoes. They both are on disability and appreciated the vegetables.
