Since we weren't celebrating yesterday and the weather was beautiful, I took the opportunity to plant a couple more beds in my back garden. My beds aren't very big due to the space I have available. They are long and thin, about 1.5ft by 8ft. I planted one with mesclun mix and endive and the...

I need a "like" button!

I noticed that Ferry Morse is on the GMO list on the first site but the safe list on the second site. Who to believe? I guess I will just continue to use seed savers just in case.

If I could convince my husband to let me take up more of his precious grass space, I would love to put in a grapefruit and a pomegranate. I think I am going to be happy with the orange, nectarine, and plum that we have now. Wait a minute... I forgot that our apple tree out back didn't make it...

I did manage some planting yesterday and today. Not much, but it's a start! I put in some cabbage, brussels sprouts, swiss chard, spinach, red onion, and garlic. I still need to plant peas, several different types of lettuce, broccoli, some other types of onion, and more garlic.

Blackberries grow wild in the LA area so they should do fine on your property. We have a couple bushes in our backyard that we just planted this spring. They haven't grown a whole lot since we put them in but they look healthy.

i bought some seeds this year that are supposed to be cool-weather tomatoes. I haven't started them yet and don't know if I will be this year.

No problem! We have a plum tree in our front yard and looking up recipes gave me good ideas for what to try when it fruits next year.

I would guess that your soil is very rich in some mineral that makes it look red and that when it was tilled up, the surface then dried in the sun and made it look like red powder.

I'm very sorry you lost your friend. :(

I'll tell you what is listed under plums in my Ball Preserving book and if any of it sounds good to you, I will post the recipe for it. Plum Jam Nutty Plum Conserve Pickled Plums Plum Chutney Plum Jelly Plum Juice Plum Orange Freezer Jam Plum Preserves Plum Sauce Plums in Syrup Spiced Golden...

They do fade in color as the hen gets older I have noticed. My EEs both started out laying nice mint green eggs. One still lays decent colored eggs but the other now lays eggs that are almost chalk white. I've never heard that brown store eggs are dyed that color. I'm skeptical of that one.

Isn't that the truth!

I hadn't heard that about melatonin before. How does that idea translate to white birds that lay brown eggs?

:lol:

I always got more in the morning than I did in the evening. Mostly because my goats still had kids nursing as well as my milking and the kids didn't nurse nearly as much during the night. That is my only experience with dairy goats.

I bought some tattler lids earlier this year. They work well and I've been happy with them so far. I haven't used them for everything. I only bought wide mouth ones to fit my quart jars. Next year I will probably get some to use on my pint jars as well. I also miss that "ping" when the...
