Planted blueberry bushes this year, can't wait till they mature so I can make jam, I'm envious!! :)

I have a fig bush in the chicken run so the hens love to eat figs, I want to make fig jam but there is only a few figs ready to pick at one time, so I was wondering if I can pick the figs as they ripen and freeze them till I have enough to make jam? Please help!! :idunno

Nice!!!

Looks great vfem, can't wait to make jams myself, figs are starting to come in at this end... I wouldn't have enough to sell tho... keep up the good work.. :D

Please, post a pic of the braided onions when you have them done, I'd love to see, I didn't know you could do that with onions, garlic yes, onions no.. How long do the onions last braided???

I love that sound too!! :thumbsup

Wow, everything looks great!! :thumbsup

I've had a fig tree since I bought my house but never paid any attention to it since I've lived here but this year I've been into canning anything and everything I can get my hands on and one of those things are figs. I found recipes on You Tube and plan to make fig Jam with this years harvest...

I started our Fall crop this week, I got the beets planted and just finished planting the garlic, can't wait to see them start to sprout..:D

Question, I've had a fig tree in my backyard since I bought this house, and every year I've let the figs over ripen because I don't know what they are supposed to look like, last year my chickens got them all, this year I have an abundance and don't want to lose them to rot or chickens. Can...

Don't get discouraged, it might work great for you, it wasn't all that bad for me, I still managed to can about 70 lbs of tomatoes so far with about 50 lbs to go.. it has helped keep the soil moist, plus you'll have fertile soil next year if it doesn't work out this year.. :)

Nice!! I might try that next year.. :thumbsup

Well, the results of this experiment didn't turn out like I hoped. We have had a good bit of rain this year so this garden stayed very moist, too much water for the potatoes but not quite enough for the tomatoes and cucumbers so I set out the sprinkler and the potatoes got more water that they...

Haven't hunted in years, would love to get back to it tho, tried venison from this area, didn't care for it, I'm gonna try wild hog next tho...

It has been in the 90's since May, only a handful of 80's since then, but we've had plenty of rain to keep the crops healthy....:D

If you could see the shelving I built this past spring and how I've stocked it with canned goods I bought and the over 200 jars I've canned and the freezer I've filled up with meat your eyes would pop....I'm with you, the economy is looking bad and the price of food is going sky high so it's...

Vfem, my recipe is 3 parts vinegar, 1 part water, 1 cup sugar for 3 quart jars and I added a sprig of dill to each jar also... :)

I just canned some last night! I made the brine, packed the peppers in a sterilized jar, added the boiling brine, put the lid on and water bathed for about 15 minutes. The recipe just called for adding the boiling brine and putting the lid on and let it seal itself, no water bath, I wanted to...

Sunsaver, I'm envious that you live off the grid, how did you do it?
