Its yucky here right now. I mean, the weather is GREAT! we've have mid 40's every day for a week. AMAZING for northern MN in January. Frightens me, end of the world thoughts and all that, BUT I will take the warm days while they are here, especially since they're predicting another 1997 here...
And thank you Hoody for giving me a new idea for supper tonight! We were going to have elk fajitas anyways so a side of cold shrimp soup with it will be perfect.
My grandpa once gave me a big cereal bowl full of juneberries with cream and sugar. Apparently they used to grow everywhere in MN, but now with all the AG Bane cleacutting EVERYTHING they are hard to find. I plan to get some from the local nursery this spring and start my own patch!
Hey! OK so my new obsession is rosemary. I'm decently sure that I can't just grow it in the ground here, due to the harsh winters. So, how big a container should I use, and would it be ok to store it in the insulated garage in the winter for a "dormant" period? I have many steps into my...

I got Seed Savers Exchange yesterday and am anxiously watching for my Baker Creek. I don't get it till later tho, due to being in zone OMGcold. Tomato Bob should be coming soon!
Thanks for the assumption SC. You're reward is the knowledge that in fact I HAVE worked in a grain elevator and it was by far the most rewarding job I've ever held.
I cannot deny the financial side of GMO, which is the seller and makes it nearly impossible for anyone to NOT go GMO. I'd tell...
That's kind of what I was thinking.
I've been interested in agronomy for about 4 years, and there are a lot of openings in that field most of the time. Really I'd be happiest managing a grain elevator tho....
I keep my riled up ness to myself and feed my family meat and veggies grown at home. Granted, a portion of their feed is from GMO corn but I try to keep that to a minumum and give them as much free range on the farm as possible.
