    Pruning peach trees

    I'm somewhat familiar with the importance of pruning grapevines as it has a major impact on fruit production but I have no experience with peach trees. I have 12 semi dwarf peach trees in the orchard (planted 6, 7, and 8 years ago) and their production has been very mixed from year to year...

    Your images are your images.

    Oh no! My dad used other folks pics for all of his "smiles" avatars and I have been following in his footsteps. Hmmm. I could possibly get into trouble because posting someone else's FACE may be illegal. I suppose even the Santa sketch avatar I'm using now could get me into hot water. Oh...

    Aldis

    We were in an Aldi's once. DW had a hard time figuring out what to purchase as much of the savings is in large quantities. I went around looking at the labels and, quite frankly, we'll never go back. We may be obsessive about this one thing . . . DO NOT BUY ANYTHING LABELED "MADE IN CHINA" OR...

    Can I use Nutri-drench for sheep for my dog?

    We have been having a terrible time with fleas this fall too. Good (strong) dip seems to have been removed from the market. We have used bombs in the house twice this fall - no success. We have used 3 different bottle sprays - no success. We finally resorted to the pills (hate them) with...

    straw bale prep

    I think it would be ok if you can keep the bails out of the weather all winter. They tend to grow moldy when left outside too long.

    Use Ginger and/or Turmeric? Grow it?

    Yes @Nyboy it is me. A long time ago I learned that Vodka is a good medium for keeping your ginger fresh for lengthy storage. I have a jar in the frige with about 2 inches of Vodka and some ginger root. I usually don't keep the ginger in there for more than a few months because we don't use...

    What are you eating from the garden today?

    Our last 8 tomatoes. Our garden has been a total disaster this year. We got a late start and rain, rain, rain all season long.

    Sauerkraut question

    Yeaaaaaa! Your 'kraut looks very good. We make a small crock of 'kraut about every 4 months and I don't think it would hurt anything if you stir the discolored stuff into the rest of the cabbage. It's all good. Many folks would want to remove it though. It looks like you have chopped the...

    This is totally off topic but I gotta ask . . . @dickiebird , why does your avatar make my eyes hurt?

    Remember the Rochester 4 barrel Carburetor?

    Well, have you guys had your Holley, Rochester, Stromberg, or Carter carburetor worked on lately? If you can even find someone who will do it they will charge an arm and a leg.
