over the winter when there is no gardenin to do?
What other hobbies do you use yer winter time on ?
I am a funiture builder.I use only recycyled wood for my projects. Amazing,the beauty to be found in pallet wood.
Janet and i also make candles. We metal detect and prospect for gold.
Here's what i do with my bells. I then freeze 'em.
When we wanna eat 'em, i go dig up a couple o' yukon gold taters from the garden and make some mashed taters to go with 'em.
As for the sweet nanars. I cut 'em into rings and or stuff 'em with sour kraut. Make a brine of 1 part cider vinegar...
If conditions are right, cool and dry and dark,they should keep thru most of the winter. You will be able to tell when they start to turn by soft discolored spots on the outsides of the sqaush.
They will turn from the outside in.
I think my sunflowers are ready to harvest. They are dead and hangin over. NOW, how do i harvest the seeds and what do i do with them to make then edible?
If i don't git to 'em fast, the birds will have 'em all eaten.

Thank you so much Denise.
I think we picked ours a bit too soon because it isn't dry on the cob. Should we jist shuck it and let it dry before shellin' it?
