Can you make orange marmalade without any peel in it? I have read that you need the peel for the pectin or it won’t set. I suppose without peel, it would just be orange jelly. But I have not yet found a recipe for that.

I made cranberry orange scones.

I think you are right. Yes! I was expecting to have to beat the birds to them when they were ripe enough to pick, but you hit the nail on the head. They are untouched by the birds. That is an excellent idea. These don’t seem to have the little brown dots on the blossom ends like those...

So @baymule , I have what I always thought was an American Elderberry. (Bought from Master Gardener plant sale 10 years ago.) This is the first year it has produced berries, and I kept waiting for them to turn purple. But they are heavy and ripe now, and they are red! I tried to look up red...

I wish @thistlebloom would come back. I miss reading about Syringa. She left around the same time as @majorcatfish and I wonder if they both left for the same reasons. 🙇‍♀️

That’s not so dumb! If you want to start out with dry bread so it will stand up to the process of making dressing, drying it in the oven is a good idea. Growing up, my parents always used broken up pieces of dried white bread for Thanksgiving stuffing. They set the bread out on cookie trays a...

Well thank you for the idea! My 10 year old elderberry tree is fruiting for the first time this year, and my plan was to get up on a ladder and pick the individual berries. Now I see that I should clip the whole stems with clusters off, and de-berry them with wire. You all have just saved me a...

Hello, Wyndsong, welcome! We are talking about you over on BYH. (About how some of us have stalked @baymule and learned a lot from her.) She writes great posts. Since it looks like you are a member on all 4 sites, I will tag you over there so you can join in. There is a member there named...

Thanks, I will tell him. What I’m not planning to tell him is that I have been feeding the crows on purpose! 5 crows started showing up late last summer, and I think it was because the neighbor had put in this new corn patch. Well, crows won’t allow hawks near their nesting area, so I was very...

You just reminded me of this photo we took of our brand new Ace store when it opened. We think they opened a little too soon..

Hi Baymule! I was reading somewhere last night, must have been an old thread somewhere and now I can’t find it. But you had written that you were planting corn in peat pots to prevent crows from eating the seeds. Does that ring a bell? My neighbor is having a hard time with crows eating his...

Henless, I had no idea you were that close to @baymule :welcome @Just Don , from Central Indiana!

Oh gee. As soon as I read the title of this thread, my mind said “Garden Weasel”.😂 I guess I should try it for spot seeding grass, but I don’t think we have it any more.

This is my daughter’s new puppy, Odin, a French Bulldog:

This recipe looks yummy! I’m adding it to my (long) list of fun things to make. Btw, next time you go to that recipe, look for the “jump to recipe” button at the top. Most of these long blog recipes have that button. Not all do, but this one did.

Yeah, because relish on stuffing? Gross! :sick :lol:

Ohhhh! Thank you, that makes so much more sense! 😂

Hello, mr @majorcatfish . Can you please explain this sentence to me? I’m guessing “the girls” are dogs, and two of them fell into the flooded drainage ditch? But then the rest of it just doesn’t make any sense. Pretty sure you’re not going to cut your dogs up over the span of a couple of weeks...

So strange! I have a clematis with a few blooms on it right now too. But those others seem like they shouldn’t put out a bloom now.

Thank you @valley ranch . @baymule has been encouraging me to participate more instead of just lurk, so I have started sticking my neck out a little bit when I find things I can contribute to. But I have been using all these sister sites as reading entertainment for a few years now. I like it...
