Looks like the warm weather is over here too and calling for snow tomorrow :hit

Yes we love garlic! I want the elephant garlic so I can make roasted garlic with it. I didnt think we would get ours in but the warm up we are having thawed the ground back out so I quickly put in the garlic. We thought about putting in potatoes and might still but I wanted to try those in the...

I got garlic planted last saturday so we should have a nice garlic harvest next year. I did 11 bulbs and 1 elephant bulb, shall see how they do.

We love sauerkraut too. We have it for dinner last night, sausage, potatoes and sauerkraut baked in the oven. The left overs are todays dinner with sauerkraut pierogies. :drool

I have the same solution......thats whats annoying.

I have to agree the smiley box dropping over the text box and forcing you to close the smiley box before you can see what your typing again is super annoying. Bout the only other thing that is driving me crazy is the ad on the right side of the screen. When you scroll down to read posts it...

We buy a container of it once in awhile at the local store when we get a craving. I think the worst thing about the food revolution the last few years is that the "junk" cuts are now super expensive. Cube steak, ham hocks, pork jowls, beef suet, stew bones, salt pork, etc used to be very cheap...

Thank you Nifty, it seems to have sped up here as well for whatever reason. I run chrome on windows over a business internet connection. I only noticed it because BYH was loading so much faster.

Thats really odd, many people here grow lavender but it may just be one of those things. My mom tried on and off for 30yrs to grow dill and never could even though others had no problem. Her neighbor used to laugh at her because she couldnt grow a weed, in a good natured way.

I forgot all about sandwich spread...yum. We used to make it too but not to often because ring bologna is really expensive here for some reason. We never have added anything to it though we did put mayo or miracle whip on the bread. Also eaten it many times on crackers. Also when i lived in...

We do the fried pb & j and tomato sandwiches as well....love it. If your talking a technical sandwich...about anything, ketchup, mayo, miracle whip, slice of cheese, chip dip, ranch, nacho cheese, cheese con queso.....those are usually by themselves, like a ketchup sandwich, etc. Things other...

So I figured out my new lowest average minimum temps for each "winter" month (dec-march) for the past 30yrs at the weather station closest to me....guess what. They need to update their zone maps, I got an average lowest temp of -6.05f which means according to their scale I should be in zone 6A...

According to the USDA site the zones are based on the average coldest temperature for a 30yr period. The current usda zone maps was published in 2012. But the map is based on info from 1976-2005? That seems really outdated to me and also makes me wonder when they plan on putting a new map out...

I'm in Zone 5B which is -10 to -15 but I can tell you from experience we regularly get temps down to -20 to -30 on and off for about 2 weeks and three winters ago -37 one day. So I don't understand at all what exactly the hardiness zones are based on. The cold temps here in winter are not a new...

Basically it comes down to it goes in the herb bed thingy or it goes in a flower bed out front..I'm having lavender either way😆 The flower beeds really need an over haul, they have not been properly tended for about 5yrs aside from the one closest ot the house which i took completely down to...

I guess so!!! I'm still wondering about this squash thing though :lol: If you can grow butternuts or hubbard they can be kept the longest in my experience. Our record so far is mid-april, it may have made it longer but it was the last squash and I cooked it...

Good idea ours has an entire isle with foreign food stuff and about anything you want is in it. You might also check by the spices/herbs. Ours has 2 bean by McCormick for 9.99 or 1 bean by spice island for 6.69. I think the cheapest will probly be found in bulk online but if you are only after a...

Is it just me or is TEG running really slowly? BYH seems fine so I dont think it is my internet.

Thank you for the info!

I don't know because someone mentioned something about it not maturing before frost would have got it...hence my confusion :lol:
