MaltoMeal and Fuji apple for breakfast ... I'm trying to decide if I want to go outside and shovel snow. There's about 2 1/2" and it is a white landscape. It's also nearly above freezing and rain is in the forecast. Not much rain, not much snow, and it's Sunday. Will it all melt? Will freezing...

I managed to shake 3 buckets of kitchen scraps into a hole! The bed just south of the greenhouse receives the most sunshine and protection in the yard. It probably hasn't been frozen to more than an inch or two and the recent warm weather with no freezing overnight for several nights and...

I was Oh So tempted to put this in the sock stuffer thread :). Steve

No, not Fruit Loops :). The fruit was half a persimmon, half an Asian pear, and a banana in the bowl of Frosted Flakes toned down with Crispix. Not the Sam ... :D. I started MY herb tea a little late so decided to first try some "Sweet Herb" tea. Stevia. Oh my! First sip was sooo sweet. By the...

Appreciating the coffee this morning. Another half cup, please. It wasn't raining until about sunrise – continuous since. I have a couple of errands this afternoon. Of some significance or I don't think that I would venture far from the lazyboy ;). I have the hearing aids geared up to...

I actually once had something of a job putting together Christmas trees. It was the only job the designers trusted me with – other than doing everything re: their products before and after they creatively arrange them :D. The one secret to using lights in your 🌲 – set the lights back in the...

Well, the difference between @Branching Out 's rain and our snow didn't last long. Our 5" of the white stuff is nearly gone. I woke up to 48°f (9°C) and drizzling rain. This is after days of afternoon temperatures not topping the freezing mark. The melting was well on its way yesterday but...

We all recognize the value placed on varieties of "fresh" produce that can be shipped long distances and held in storage for great lengths of time. Many of us are not pleased with their flavor quality, etc. but farming entered the Industrial Age of transportation, food processing, and marketing...

Good Morning, to those of us on this here continent and for a ways on points West. Good Day, to Everyone :). It is just barely freezing here. The forecast is evolving a little as we move into this week. Warmer with rain instead of snow. Our 5" on the ground will be fast eliminated at this...

I need to do better with starting them in succession. Having a flood of baby beets is ookaay because i really like them. But, there need not be an overabundance because I'm not really a fan of the roots. I like the yellow ones but was a little disappointed in the white because of limited...

We have curry now and then. Restaurants or the sauce comes out of a jar. I would prefer to make the sauce but it is obvious to me that DW isn't much of a curry fan. It is nice for a change to use a little in our very common, beef stew. There's absolutely nothing grand about my cooking and all I...

Nothing from the garden, I really should have cilantro in the greenhouse and learn how long it can survive without any heat in there. I bet it could perform well. Anyway, lunch was chopped, store-bought cilantro sprinked on some chucked-up tofu that had been boiled just a couple of minute. I...

Okay. It was sushi (California) and a corn dog for lunch. But similar!

Three rounds with the snow shovel, yesterday. Well, I say 3 but I didn't make it to the backyard on the last one. It's mostly just Early Season Me – and trying to limit footprints frozen onto the sidewalk ;). There is about 5" of snow. I will be out before a second breakfast and start from the...
