I worry that my poor chickens are not drinking enough water in this heat wave, perching with their beaks open, so I carry a bowl of water around to offer each one (yes, time consuming). Some still won't drink enough. Today I cooked some purple hull peas, and served them the leftover juice; not...

My husband met a guy who said he liked to go to prison once a yr.to get big (lift weights) I once bailed a girl out of jail, but when she was arrested again, I let her stay (as I had told her I would). She told my husband when she got out that she enjoyed the spaghetti and the comradarie. Should...

Yes, got to have a pressure canner. Don't let them scare you. Follow directions and you can't go wrong. It's actually not very tedious. There's no prelim. cooking, so you're not standing over a steaming vat, stirring all day. Just got to have time to stay in the kitchen to keep pressure adjusted.

Same here but I don't usually toast them. Best eaten over a kitchen sink.

I always can green and pole beans, as the few times I've tried blanching and freezing them, they were like rubber or had a tough skin.

Mine haven't bloomed either. But my purplehull peas are blooming up a storm with some almost ready to pick. I think I would have lost a lot of stuff if I hadn't done an all day and night watering last week - hadn't realized how little rain we've had for the amount of scorching heat, until I...

Yeah, I typed her name in google and she sounds big name. Funny, no computer warnings then. Just make sure someone isn't contacting you pretending to be associated with her. Careful with giving out personal info. and agreeing to pay fees,-you know that. I'm leery after that con artist kept...

Hey, I just clicked her website you listed, and our computer stuff put on a warning that her site contains malware that can harm your computer, so I backed out. Be cautious - she may not be legit.

I like to rub some dried sage leaves over my grits with lots of butter or olive oil and a little salt and pepper. No sugar - I've heard some folks do that to grits - that's probably why they don't like them.

I've never had any I didn't like, and it's an unjunk food snack.

Good to hear of this use, as a friend says if you use these sheets in the dryer, it can start a fire. Something about a gummy residue from them building up. Anyone know if this is just an urban myth or for real? At any rate, I have two boxes that I'm afraid to use in the dryer now.

Oh, better mention; they do act as a laxative.

If you found them on an old homesite in NC , usually planted up against a certain side of a bldg. for frost protection, I'd bet they're the brown turkey. Very traditional to plant in the south for fig preserves. Since that's your thing, you are in for a treat. Fig preserves are sought after; I...

Don't know what type butternut and sphagetti sq. my husband planted in with our corn (he was supposed to be planting yel. crookneck but he gets confused). But it's spreading all over creation and is loaded with squash, although small ones so far. They may grow more, but I've started eating some...

Scarey, scarey! When I got stung (by whatever type scorpion we have in Ga.) , I had left my gloves in a tree, and put one on with a scorpion in the fingertip. Of course it stung me when it got smashed. I sat down on the ground and almost fainted. Fortunately, sort of, my husband still smoked and...

Nice work, Hoodat!

Good tips! Have lots of butternuts and little sphagetti squash ripening. just bought veg.and flower seed from Dollar General marked down to 17 cents to freeze for later including some other types of squashes. I'm still wondering, seriously, if anyone uses an alcohol cleaned hacksaw or bandsaw...

Butcher knife, hacksaw,bandsaw? Any special method you use to cut open your winter squashes?

Well, at any rate, they say the "stress" or whatever organic gardening does for the plants is a GOOD thing, supplying phytochemicals which are good for the plants and for us. I'm not sure how they think the plants are stressed into producing them, but I guess it could be because the plants may...

Hey, maybe folks will stop stealing our stuff if we put up "Danger -Bad Spiders" signs. Hoodat could add a new item to sell on his site : "Don't want to fool with a vault? Buy Hoodat's Guardian Spiders for your jewelry box. Don't want the real thing - let him sell you a replica of the varmint of...
