Congrats.... But I'm noticing a pattern here!

The goats (in mass) is a great option to knock down the weeds. But the roots still have to be broken up. You can use the black plastic until the final cardboard and straw go down. Then roll the plastic up and store it for the next section (very reusable). Remember; drip, drip, drip systems work...

Wow, I see some very big ambitions in these posts. I will just have to be satisfied with my 12 x 40 foot garden. I didn't see where everyone is from but here's a thought. Can you contact the local fire department and see if they could do controlled burns for those areas? Worst case, they could...

My elbow aches just looking at that thang! lol We have a big juicer top of the line machine but I hate cleaning it (I meant to say, my wife hates to clean it for me) But we lose the pulpyness with that.

Update from the Crazy H-Bar Ranch; Out of the garden and into the kitchen.... Again! So, today we finally took the 20 lbs of garden tomatoes from the freezer and added those to the 5 lbs of romas and 8 lbs large tomatoes. It took 3 hours to blanch, peel and pureed them. We saved about 2 lbs of...

Maybe it's time to start canning... It takes less effort to cook up your favorite sauce and then can a bunch of it some that you can enjoy all of your tomatoes throughout the year...Or you could wash and freeze them, then drop them at my house and I will turn them into sauce. lol

What was your brine recipe?

Ok, hot pepper butter got my attention... Do you have a recipe? I have put many of my harvested pepperchini's in my leftover B&B pickle brine, those are very tasty. I have many fish peppers of the same size that I want to pickle, these are very spicey so they would be sweet and hot. Banana...

What does everyone do with their pepperchinis and those others of the same size? I'm thinking of pickling them but I want a different flavor then my B&B brine... I don't really like the brine that you get at mexican food places they pickle their carrot slices in. Any ideas? 100 for the best...
