Gosh, Ron, you do beautiful work! I'm hoping there's a small greenhouse in my future. DH brings it up from time to time, a lean-to off my potting shed. Your buildings are up-town nice!

I sprout mung beans for the ladies. If we are having stir fry, I toss in a few. I haven't used bleach but I may after reading the posts. I also use a lot of old remedies like bleach, vinegar, and baking soda. I give my ladies buttermilk soaked bread in the winter as well as vitamins or...

Ron, have you seen "The Most Beautiful Villages and Towns of the Southwest" book by Joan Tapper, photos by Nik Wheeler? It is copyright 2009 and really has gorgeous photos. Your SW is something! It just came into our library a week ago. Hope you check it out.

Bcallaha, you might enjoy this persimmon bread that I've made many times. The recipe is from a Mother Earth Magazine (Sept. 1974). I always poured scalding water over the persimmons to clean them, then put them through a Foley Food Mill. The pulp freezes well. Persimmon Bread 2 cups...

My neighbor gave me pears and this is the recipe that I used: http://allrecipes.com/recipe Type in search: Peach Cobbler Bread submitted by: Amy Maindelle It is so good that I am going to make the bread and freeze it rather than mess with canning or freezing pears. Another neighbor gave...

Hattie, does your newspaper carry the "Hagar the Horrible" comic strip? My left arm has a couple of canning and gardening "mishaps"--DH asked me today if I had been sacking England with Hagar the Horrible. :lau The flower pot is a great idea. There is a small posh lake restaurant about 25...

Hi Hattie, back at cha! Yes, you can make this bread with any favorite fruit. We are not crazy about raisins either, so I substituted. I especially like this as pan toast with a fried egg on top for breakfast or just a pat of butter. It's also nice to pull out of the freezer if expecting...

Lesa, I'm still in the dreaming stage. I want to know cost before I begin but it would be so pretty on the back of my garage, under the eave. Maybe you can log on to our Tennessee magazine website and see the article. Apparently, this is a big deal all over a number of states, anywhere there...

This recipe came from a Seattle newspaper, Parade insert, about 1970. It also makes great toast. I haven't made it for years because I don't have a one pound coffee can. I suppose any 1# tin can would do. I did use a 13 oz. and it worked. It also froze well for me. 4 cups unsifted...

Lesa, I don't have any photos, but there is an article about it in "The Quilter" magazine, January 2008. There is also an article in the Tennessee Home & Farm magazine, Fall 2009. I've seen several articles in other magazines the last few years. You can google the subject and there are lots...

I want to make a painted barn quilt to hang on the back side of my garage. Have any of you tried it? They are so pretty. I've seen them in magazines for several years. Mine would be half of an exterior plywood sheet. It sounds a little expensive to make. Any ideas?

I also lived in the Puyallup area many years ago. (Sumner but shopped in Puyallup.) My nephew lives there now. I loved Washington. My son was born in the Auburn hospital. When I lived there the pulp mills were still in Tacoma. We had a VW and went everywhere. Happy memories. I use so...

Me too. I love this site. I always think gardeners are gentle people--at least I've never heard of a mass murderer gardener. :rose

Nice! Have you ever thought of a carrot cake? I googled a recipe last week and it is so good. I like a recipe with crushed pineapple--so moist. I bet it would freeze well, without the frosting. I think I will plant some more carrots since you all mentioned a fall crop.

Hi, I'm new to the garden board too. I've been on BYC for awhile. Someone on there mentioned Annie's salsa. I googled it and it really is delicious. Annie wouldn't have recognized my first batch, though, because I transposed the salt and pepper amounts. (Not funny at the time!) So, I...

I planted Petit Gris De Rennes and Charentais cantaloupe seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds and these melons are so juicy and delicious. And I've never cared much for melons. I lost some melons because they split. The chickens loved them though. The best melon I grew came from a plant...
