Yes. Stocking up now would be a good idea. Not only to ride out a price spike, but because there is no telling where the economy will be at next year. Having a nice supply of dried beans, lentils and splits peas will not hurt you one darn bit. This isn't a new problem. I remember long heated...

Pepper plants are actually tender perennials.

I resorted to swapping poultry for produce :D I did have a great crop of tomatoes, have some huge pumpkins that are just about ready and got a decent crop of hot peppers and about 40 lbs of grapes. I didn't plant nearly enough peppers, but the ones I planted did well. The herb garden was...

I don't know about the tomatoes, but I have successfully brought pepper plants inside. They will go sort of dormant but you should be able to harvest what is on the plant a little while after you bring it in. Then next season, they will go gangbusters and give you LOTS of peppers. Many pepper...

I have some good pepper growth this year. It isn't always the case. Cherry bomb peppers, big Jims and a jalapeno plant or two. I didn't plant nearly enough, but the ones I got in the ground are doing great. I will bring some inside in a few weeks. They don't produce in winter, but they will do...

:woot

That's cool. I will have to tell my Denver peeps about that.

Duckling snacks!!

We had a cold windy spring so everything is behind here too. Found my first black krim almost ready to pick. Still get lots of yellow plum, sweet 100s and large cherry. NOM!

The oyster shells you use for poultry work even better than the egg shells.

Yeah, it's called curing. Great idea using the brooder lamp! LOL I have one of those!

I'd lend you one of my ducks, but then you wouldn't have any peas left either! :P

:drool

I am not a fan of anything low fat, reduced fat, no fat, etc... When you pull out the fat, what do you have left? Sugar! Fat is what tells the body you are full. Fat is also what makes vitamins bioavailable. Without fat, there are many nutrients your body doesn't even absorb.

Keep in mind your instincts get seriously warped by modern, refined foods. I can rely on mine now, but that's after five years of not eating grains and sugars. The best books I read that really helped me are "Natural health and weight loss" by Barry Groves, "Protein Power Life Plan"by Drs Mike...

Doing great with the sweet 100s, yellow plum, large red cherry and mar globes. The pink climbers never set fruit. I have some black krim with green tomatoes on it, but they got a late start. Next year I am planting more mar globes!!! Love those things.

I planted some telephone pole peas last week. They are doing great! Since my spring pea plantings suck so bad I am doing fall crops of peas from now on. I still have sugar snap pea seeds. Need to get those out today. Our first snow is usually around Halloween, but then we have weeks of really...

Bear man, I was going to try for that. Then I found some pumpkins yesterday and totally ruined my chances :D

I use clover, but my yard is pretty flat.

I tried to grow blue lake beans. They never seem to get very big or put out many beans. I tried growing Chinese red noodle beans. The bugs keep wiping out the seedlings. I decide to give Kentucky wonder beans a try. NOM!!! Lots of stringless beans with tender pods. Next year these are going to...
