Somebody dropped off three boxes of bananas, all ripe and spotted! What loveliest of creations should I do? Give me your recipes please! I’m already planning banana bread waffles so I don’t have to turn the oven on and maybe banana pudding, low carb style on the pudding. Any other ideas??? I’ve...

Why do I think some of my ducks were I involved in this?

I wish I wish! Send some of that this way and I’ll make ya some zucchini bread! I didn’t even try zucchini this year, we either get beetles or a heavy rain that rots the stalk.

Apple or peach blossoms from my tree.

I got all my recipes from the blue book of canning. It is 4cups sugar, 4 cups water, 8 cups cranberries. Boil water and sugar til dissolved, put in cranberries for ten minutes or until the skin splits. Put in jars for 10 minutes. Because I’m using quart jars I put mine if for fifteen. As long as...

I was just using a pressure canner as a regular pot, because it was big enough, but I didn’t actually put the pressure on.

No. I’m at sea level. I just changed from a pressure canner I was using as a water bath to a blue and white speckled pot(can’t remember what they’re called now, sorry) because it’s slightly taller and easier to manage. I’ve never used a thermometer, how would I in the future? As long as they’re...

Alright, so I made a couple batches of cranberry sauce yesterday. All of it’s runny, it didn’t gel at all. I’ve done this recipe a bunch of times, the only thing that changed is I’m using a new canning pot. They’re water bath as well so I wouldn’t imaging that should be a problem, but is it? My...

I already have 2 or 3 sugar sprints, they’re one of the few things that are still growing. I don’t know that much about them to be honest. I’m in the south, so it’s warm. We usually get mostly 80 and 90 degrees, but occasionally over a hundred. 15 days or less? Our last frost is early March and...

Would normal peas work? I have Alaskan, and sugar sprint. I actually have a tire of potatoes planted, and a bunch more to plant ASAP! Thanks y’all.

Hello all. I’m in garden zone 8 I think. We had a couple 40 degree nights hit and kill of most of my seedlings. Very sad, especially because I had some gorgeous flowers I was excited about. Anyway, now I have garden space available. I also think I want to expand to a different area, but I don’t...

Most of this is an adventurous foods list. But some of those things I thought were part of a normal diet lol! Who hasn’t eaten a spam sauerkraut sandwich? Or sauerkraut anything, it’s just so good!

Poor little thing. Putting masks on pets is so cruel. Not to mention unnecessary!

I was crunching numbers. Though I planned to use peat pots (they’re what I am using and I forgot there were other possibilities) then I looked at plastic pots, 150 for 16.49. Then I looked at solo cups, 100 for 6.64. Is there any reason I wouldn’t use solo cups, and just poke holes in the...

I’m rural, and I have a few small nurseries and places around. So I was thinking to just put in some extra seeds, of unique varieties, and see if I can sell them.
