I LOVE black currants and gooseberries. I'll be right over to help you eat them. Yum!! My grandmother used to can gooseberries. I haven't had black currants since I was a young child.

I made my greens and eggs bake using lambs quarters that was coming up in the millet. Also cooked up some of our first baby zucchini with onions. Had a nice green salad with a few cherry tomatoes. I also put a big batch of wild plums in the dehydrator.

That looks fantastic. Can hardly wait to do mine. I just picked the first beans yesterday.

We are still thinking of planting some winter squash. We'll see if we get around to it. It would have to be one of the smaller varieties. We have lots of volunteers growing in the millet and broomcorn and we are looking forward to finding out what they'll look and taste like. So we'll have...

We grow about 10 hills of assorted winter squashes, mostly pumkins. What we don't eat, the chickens will. Just gave them another one last week from last year's crop. I wanted to grow some acorn squash this year, but the seeds didn't sprout.

We didn't make anything special, but just ate the first peaches and plums. :drool They are just sooo good.

It's been to hot to cook. So we had a green salad every night. We harvested our first tomatoes, cherry tomatoes. I cut them in half to make them go further. I dried the little wild plums, they came out good. Our first Santa Rosa plums are ripe and ready to eat. No need to do anything with...

I've been asked to share my zucchini relish recipe. It took me a while to find it. It is from an old (50's or so) recipe pamphlet by Leslie Salt. The title is: "Make your own Pickles, Easy Leslie recipes for pickles, relishes, chutnery, sauerkraut." I couldn't find a date of when it was...

I found the zucchini relish recipe. I'll post it under recipes. Yay, zucchini relish for everyone. Can you ever have enough zucchini recipes?

We've had something similar happen to our peach trees. So far the leaves have grown back, but only at the tips. So we have a long stick with leaves on the end. We don't know what is causing it either, but the trees seem to do ok. Our trees are much older though, than yours. We have trouble with...

Good points, Nifty. Fortunately I am carefull about what I post, generally speaking, that goes for other sites as well. I've let this be a lesson to myself to be even more cautious. A nice fake name or two won't hurt for future ventures into the internet world. Some sites seem to insist on a...

Nifty, we grow sunflowers for sale. You have a sunflower growing. Give it some water and stand back and enjoy the show. All parts of the sunflower are edible. Although I have only tried the seeds. The greens can be fed to the chickens. Our dog and rabbit like them too. You'll have to fight the...

Bleeding heart, violas, hostas (although my experience has been that the slugs like it), forget-me-nots, fuchsia (this is a shrub, but it is nice and bright and doesn't neccessarily get all that big) primulas and primroses. These are all flowers I grew in a rather shady part of my yard. They did...

I finally got around to planting all our odds and ends. The main planting is nearly finished. We did 2 rows of popping corn yesterday. Today I transpanted some sunflowers, since the ones in the rows are too crowded anyway. I planted several in front of the chicken yard. That is also where I...

Way cool! We've been toying with the idea of going to the farmer's market. It just seems like such a big deal though. I love the pictures, I think that is a great idea. And your stand looks great. You are giving me the incentive to find out what it takes to get into our farmers market. :bow

The fact that the top most leaves are green is an indicator that they have had nutrient deficiency. The green leaves probably started growing after you put the plants in the ground. Give them another week and they'll start looking better. Some of ours looked a bit yellow too, because they were...

I agree, you have to be quite carefull. And no, as far as I know there are no naked, drunk pictures of me any where. Unless they were taken when I was drunk...and naked and I don't remember :P But there might be one of me smoking a ...never mind. That's not me. That was that olympic swimmer...

I made chicken stoup. It's time to clear out last years produce. So I found some frozen zucchini, to put in with the chicken breast, also added some frozen wild turkey broth. Cut up 1/2 cup of dried peppers, two bulbs of garlic and a big bunch of fresh parsley. I had to add store bought onion...

By the way, I am not the one with the fame, that privilege belongs to another family member. I just get the fall-out ;)

Reinbeau, I just removed my real name from my profile this morning, hoping it wouldn't show up on google. Thanks for looking into this.
