We had fresh green beans, cucumbers, yellow tomatoes, summer squash casserole, and some grilled chicken breast for a wonderful meal. I LOVE garden fresh meals!!! Our early corn is tasseling and forming corn, half row potatoes dug and will leave the others as long as possible, so summer is on for...

I put 5 sweet potatoes from last years crop into a glass of water each back in March. I would break off the sprouts when they got about 5-6 inches long. I then put them into another glass of water and left them there to develop more roots. When I got about 100 plants I put them into my hills...

Not honeybees!

We make a large hill about a foot high for our sweet potatoes.

Just a little bit larger.

The Russian strain of honey bee is black on end or much darker than the Italian bees that more people use.

I have 6 buckeyes that are almost 8 weeks old and I really like them. I have been trying to raise them for two years now but lost to the raccoon last year. I got my eggs from a breeder and they are expensive. Good luck and I think you will be pleased with the buckeyes.

GREAT job!!

I will have to recommend: http://sampleseeds.com/ I ordered from her for the first time this year and have been very pleased. Not as big a selection but a third of the cost because she is one person operation with minimum packaging, etc. Definitely worth try for some things. I love Baker's...

Well, I got lots of berries but before I had finished with them something got into mine and wiped them completely out. We were gone for 4 days and my mother picked once during that time but within two days of returning home most all berries, ripe and green had disappeared. I had concluded that...

That happened to me once and is not fun at all. Also, turkey chicks are harder to get through the "young chick" stage anyway. Sorry!

Great! We have had 3 cukes! They are one of my granddaughters favorite vegetables so she enjoyed them for lunch today.

That is how my mother said they stored them years ago, paper and/or straw between layers in the cellar or in the ground.

Each of the three times I have had to go to the doctor with stings my arthritis has gotten better, but I can't say whether it was the bee sting or the shots the doctor gave me that helped it, wish I knew.

Lesa, just talked to Mom. She said she just blanches (brings to a boil), drains and then covers with ice and cools COMPLETELY, drains real good, bags, and freezes. In the South we cook our beans really good so that may be the thing. She puts the package still frozen into a pressure cooker with...

lesa, I will ask her! I really don't think she does anything much different but will find out. I know what you mean by feeding them to dogs. Mine are not very good either.

I remember those days, after I became addicted I hatch my own, but still get excited when they hatch. Have fun, but warning, it is addictive!

So cute! Attached is a big word, right! I keep telling myself that about these 30 or so chickens I plan to process in a few weeks. In fact, I think I will hire this young former neighbor to come and do the killing for me. lol

Moxie, have you sliced the sweet potato as french fries, tossed with olive oil, and baked at 425* for about 10-12 minutes. Almost like french fried without the bad oil.

Two of our new hives are 8 frame, got them from my son who has quit beekeeping because he had to move. I just can't manage a full super unless a HAVE to situation. A friend in our bee club and her husband are changing out all 30 of their hives to 8 frame because of their age and health. Our...
