some people get stuck, i'm not one of those who knows everything but i do try to help people out who seem to be that way and i'm also ok if in the end i can't help them, not all of us are compatible with each other. still this question is one that i try to encourage people to consider is, "What...

we have large flocks of them around here at times. Mom commented that the other day there were three different flocks in someone's yard. then she said that she was surprised that they'd not been in the fields around us yet, but since one of them had only recently been harvested they'd not yet...

i will have snow to shovel tomorrow (well it is tomorrow already but i'm not asleep yet so that doesn't quite count to me :) ). this week is looking pretty chilly too with some of the nights forecast to get down into single digits.

seedcorn would have said something about this, but i see he is no longer about... as for your turned over cover crops by doing it now at least you are getting a start on the decomposition process, but a lot of it is not going to happen until it gets warmer again anyways, personally i would...

with sharp pointy teef!

life is interesting. :)

i would never put myself in a group situation with dogs if i could help it, especially unknown dogs that may not have owners who can control them. just sounds like trouble waiting to happen...

they have those cans of little smoked oysters available at some supermarkets. i used to eat them once in a while but i've been eating sardines in mustard sauce mostly the past few years. as a once in a while meal they work well for me. as far as stuffing, i've had several different kinds, the...

"I breakdown in the middle and lose my thread, nobody can understand a word that I say..." Alan Parsons Project, Breakdown... From I Robot album.

someone mentioned snow falling off roofs and how certain kinds can be dangerous and that reminded me of living in the attic of a place up north and how the snow and ice would pile up and then suddenly come off. it would shake the house as it released from the change in the weight and then it...

you can, but it takes a lot longer to clear a driveway or sidewalk... remember though that it is best to push the snow as much as you can and to do as very little lifting as possible.

nice to see flowers this time of the year, but not too long ago we had some plants flowering here (radishes and irises).

rain today. i feel like hibernating...

wow! having grown up growing tomatoes or buying them by the bushels for canning (and picking them!) i can't imagine a life without them in the mid-to-late-summer and early fall.

thank you for asking the question. i'm not sure i can supply an answer but i see another mention of something i read right by the last time i looked (in the Seed Saver's Exchange article by Jim Tjepkema): https://seedsavers.org/hope-and-practice-robert-lobitz/ and this is important to me...

i like peas. peas please. :) i also do like basil and pesto, no matter how much. cilantro i like even more. dill i will eat the flowers from as i walk by and also eat a lot of the fronds too if there aren't too many bugs on them. fennel, yum!

the last bean garden is put up for the winter. that leaves me with just odds and ends sorts of chores in the gardens. the biggest one left will be digging out some quackgrass. that stuff doesn't give up easy - especially if there is a patch of it growing right next to the spot you're trying...

she lives down south in TN so their brrr season is much different than here, but she grew up in this area. we get some of those reflections off cars too here towards the end of the day but gladly we don't get too many of them.

at least you don't leave it to cook on the burner for a few hours extra. :)

we have a decoration (a pyramid of sorts) out back that Mom built a long time ago with various pieces of broken mirrors stuck on the sides. for some reason today with the sunshine and the right angle from the sun being on it i had a spot of reflection on the wall above a bookcase. i've not...
