When I stopped at the small lot farmstead yesterday, they were offering large green tomatoes--free. Some woman asked if I cooked green tomatoes. I said, no, but if she took some and put them in a bowl in the kitchen they would ripen. She didn't know this...

Freeze last night through 9AM. :eek: In town for dentist appt yesterday. Stopped at the Lutheran Church for pie pumpkins. DD wants to make some pumpkin cheesecakes, so I'll go back again next week, when I'm in town for DH's physical therapy. The pumpkin sale is a yearly youth fundraiser. ALSO...

https://modernfarmer.com/2025/10/highest-yielding-cover-crops/ @Rhodie Ranch , BLue Buffalo smells better. Vet suggested Canidae, but they don't make a puppy formula. I am going to look into switching over to that next year. SHE said it is high calorie, so less filler.

@Shades-of-Oregon AND @catjac1975 , Great photos!! :love

Besides walking better and getting a real puppy arm workout 9x.day, I am experiencing other new things, like a washer that can do a hot load and not break AND a dishwasher, something I haven't had for close to a decade. I Am using it and I didn't think I would. I am on a spending spree, taking...

Yesterday I spent one hour pulling weeds in my 2024-5 garlic bed. My garlics have been drying out--dunno how many are viable still. I am at DD's house this morning for plumbing work. Puppies slept OR just stayed quiet and dry from 9:30PM-5:30AM, so progress We are expecting frost Wedesday &...

Just a thought: Have you considered just storing the dehydrated peppers in a sealed jar and grinding them up as needed? I only ask bc even in a drought WE are super humid here and I would lose the powder if I did it that way. I has discovered that the longer the peppers sit in the jar, the...

I Wish I had had my phone out yesterday! Lynx was stealthily hunting...UNfortunately in the kitchen!! :eek: She could have caught anybody napping--quite a sight. This morning she pushed open one of the cupboard drawers and checked inside, which is a normal Kitten thing to do--never saw her do...

Yeah, after being physically waylaid by my NOW 2 great knees, and two very poor growing seasons, I, too, am making 2026 plans. It's not like we have garden planning police to arrest you if you change your mind.

FINALLY, rainstorm!!! Cooler and we might get our first frost on the average frost date, Oct 22nd. I may throw a moving blanket on top of the tomato/pepper pot by the house to give it one more week.

I have been training Sasha and Tegan, the 14 wk old GSD puppies: 1) cats do not exist 2) no, you didn't just See a cat 3) these are Not the cats you're looking for That, and sit at the door so that the cats can go in and out unmolested and we're all getting along.

Good party, but we didn't burn the pile. They Finally harvested the beans to the west of us. We are going to have a Saturday burn/feed in a few weeks with out neighbors, S.'s, who originated the party with us. Youngest DD helped me put away everything in the North pasture last weekend--she had...

Good party, BUT, we had an argument about burning the pile. After 6 weeks of practically NO RAIN and the beans in the field hadn't been harvested, I made the executive decision of No. DH was a little miffed. DD's burned the witch in my fire pit in the front of the barn, QUITE safe unless...
