I Finally got my 15 cuts of Purple Majesty potatoes planted!! :woot:woot:woot Yesterday I dug the trenches, and today I made sure that they were deep and wide and I hand tilled the big pieces and used my hand rake to push back the dirt. 3rd fence down has 9 potatoes north of the fence. 2nd fence...

OK, this is one.Weird. Spring. First, I was moving things around and drove past my beautiful "never gives me peaches" peach tree AND it has 7 flowers on it! :th Next, although I dug the trenches for the 15 seed potatoes yesterday, I Really should have had my phone. First shovel full midway down...

You might just use some small fenceposts, build you walls with chicken wire, and make a gate. No electricity needed and most dogs aren't likely to jump inside of your enclosure.

It has over 30 FLOWERS on it. I think this is why the expert said only Apple Trees should grow here! The apple trees and the cherry tree and the pear tree ONLY have buds. NObody told my peach tree to Wait!! :th

We need to start selling them while there are still CW Reenactors to buy them. DH and I will be keeping our favorites. The best Looking McClellan is an Officer's Saddle, that our commander was gifted, and he gave it to US when he retired. It is AWFUL to sit this saddle...but it's pretty!

Coffee with honey yogurt this morning, which was SuPPOSED to be me sleeping in, but I forgot to tell my Phone, so the alarm went off at 10 to 5AM, and I got up anyway, and I had a pile of dishes to do that I DIDN'T want to do Yesterday, but I did it ALL, in between cups of coffee and cleaning...

I have not ever started okra inside, just direct seeding outside, and then I get a forest, and I ask, "WHY did I plant so MANY OF THESE?!?!? :th

Sorry, when skinny jeans came back into style I ditched bell bottoms like yesterday's news, NO TURNING BACK!!

I finished the chicken broth yesterday. Lids, lids, lids--I used ONE crummy lid, all the rest were BALL lids, it didn't seal and Broke one of my pints IN the canner!!! :rant:hit Left me with an UNneccessary mess to clean up. 7 pints canned, one quart refrigerated for a couple of me lunches...

I will look, but the hobby zenithed in the late 1990's, 2008 financial collapse almost killed it off. What is left now is a shell, and it is now mostly just Living History, and it's a crap shoot as to who really knows their history that is still reenacting. The Sutlers that are still around are...

Weeeeellllllllll...I "Tented" my tree, aGAIN....it only got down to 36 degrees, but I'll live with that. Gotta take Down the tent today, highs in the 60's, light breeze, and rain tomorrow. Don't wanna have to dry out the tent before I fold/roll it up again.

I imagine if you thaw it out, make sure that it is totally dry, they label a small, snack sized (or smaller, if you have it,) ziplock bag and send it in That, it should be fine.

.....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand now we Do... I'm gonna go ahead and cover it. Good practice for the future. I will not be buying any smudgepots---look at the price?!?!? Oil -burning device A smudge pot (also known as a choofa or orchard heater) is an oil -burning device used to prevent...

DD found two chicken breasts in her freezer with freezer burn. I took them, cooked them up in my 8 qt crock pot for Eva, left a few bits and today added powdered thyme, powdered onion, scraped up a carrot and added chopped celery. I should make some nice broth by Thursday.

Good deal! We are about to pay for our new beef, "Greenland," 963 pounds hanging weight, and our estimated price per pound is $6.40 It is Black Angus. IF the person who backed out 4 years ago didn't buy it, when I met G., I could have had 1/4 cow, all hamburger, $2/lb SO GOOD for you to have it...

I took a shot of my shelter halves and stopped by the tractor on my way back to the tent storage area of the Lodge. Soldiers would each carry 1/2 and then put them together for a 2 man tent that had a back and 2 pieces that connected in the front.
