So hubby talked his mom into getting him an ice cream maker for father's day. Actually, the kiddo talked her into it, she just labeled it for daddy though it was really for all of us. Anyways... its this cuisinart: http://www.cuisinart.com/products/ice_cream/ice-21.html So far I made a...

Yep... I got given the 'eat bananas' Dr's orders too. It was from muscle issues in my chest. May be I'm outside working so much when I can I wear myself down and out and don't get enough fluids either. You better listen to him, its really been helping me. HOWEVER.... this is the time of year to...

Congrats! June babies are the BEST little girls. I should know... June birthday! lol :lol: :watering Can't wait to watch her grow with you guys. :hugs

You guys are funny, I just don't 'give a pluck'! :lol: Seriously, we skin ours. Pull off the skin like little coats. I can gut them in no time, so that doesn't bother me. I want to get more asap, but husband has cut me off right now. He's working 60 hour weeks with no sign of it slowing down...

I made a trip out to feed the chickens and get them water. Decided to swing through the garden and pick up dinner. This is what I brought in and I have to get another basket and make a second trip later!!!

My watermelon leaves look more like an oak leaf shape, my pumpkins are more like hearts. But I don't know what varieties you are growing and how big the differences are. :(

Oh BJ, YUM!!!

You know this is what we do with raspberries too, we have to be careful as we're growing double fruiting raspberries and we don't want to cause damage that will affect our fall harvests... but canes recovery really well from multiple pruning. I love how well you have yours strung and growing! :)

I would hate for anyone to change ANYTHING about themselves who makes them what they are. Though I would like to be an ex-smoker again.... that's a bad habit to pick up over and over again. But I do enjoy being a B#$%^ no matter what anyone says about me! :ep

Oh Major... looking like our day of picking. We jetted out to find what we could between rains today. Though my squash has been destroyed by vine borers, I did manage to throw a couple of seed sin the ground to get a second planting. I'll cover the new growth when it comes up to protect it from...

I'll be eating some of those ears this weekend Carol! We're so excited!!!

I can't STAND store bought jams now. They taste light pure sugar/corn syrup. I have to do my own. I don't think we've spent a $1 on store bought jam in like 6 years. Then there is fresh veggies... there are TONS I can't stand because they taste like nothing and I just disappointed. Green beans...

Ok, as I have the WORST of luck with Blight I can tell you what I know. 1st, blight can 'become' airborne once the the fungus that is the blight sends out spores for breeding purposes from the plant hosting it. However, the primary 'blight' lives in soil. 90% of the time it spreads when the...

The rain here has been good for some things, like our corn.... (however, I have blight and downey mildew to deal with on cukes and tomatoes now! ugh) Very happy to say I'll be eating sweet corn by next weekend I hope! Here's my wee one so proud to have helped!

Welcome Dew, way to jump in! :D I am so happy to see so many people doing it. It really is an experience everyone should have. Even if you never wanted to do it again, its a great appreciation you didn't have before. You'll never look at the chicken in the meat counter the same again. I do...

BJ, I totally had to depend on BYC for help my first time. I spent about 2 weeks reading until I found the thread that did the most for me. I guess I could do a video but there are 2 issues with that for me. 1.) I process at night in the dark by flood lights after we put the munchkin to bed...

ok here we are: And no... I STILL haven't figured out how to braid them. Hahaha

Yes, vine borers are the bane of my garden. I can't even start to explain how much damage 1 moth can do by laying her eggs. The only known way to kill them is sven, which I've never done. I've tried everything under the sun I've read and today I still ripped out 2 totally crippled zuke plants...

Hahahaha.... I'm going to come back and submit the lossing picture of our pumpkins here in a few. Totally too funny to not share here. ;)

I have to say, I am VERY thankful for my meaties. I processed them last night, and we were up until after midnight to get it done. Until now they do their jobs weeding my garden and controlling bugs from their tractor pen. I let these guy go much longer then I had planned especially due to my...
