Thanks for the tips! I had not heard about the flower needing ants, but it sounds good ;-)

I am using peonies for my daughters wedding and I'm wondering if anyone has had any luck with cutting peonies in bud form or are they able to refrigerate and keep longer? Also, any suggestions on how to rid them of the ants that so dearly love a peony?

Think I'll try that freezer method. I planted okra a week or so ago and not warm enough to come up. I like to get a jump on okra so I can have it as quick as possible. Sounds like a good way to trick those seeds!

Brandywine Japanese Black Amish Paste and new this year is the Mortgage Lifter...anxious to see what this one is all about!

This is me, headred, with a duck I just had to re-home, Ringo. I keep ducks in my city backyard and keep a nice sized garden too. I'm about to open the fence so the ducks can have a party!

Love your baby and the chickens. I have ducks and garden too. I'm about ready to open my fence and let the ducks have a party. End of our summer growing season here in Kansas. I lived in Phoenix before this. Not much good stuff can grow there! Welcome!

Not since I stepped on a spider and was bitten! I wear crocs. Easy on, easy off.

This was my morning collection, duck eggs too ;-)

I pick mine green and let them dry inside. Seems I get more this way. I do let them get plenty big before I pick.

I plan on letting my ducks into my garden soon. I'll fence off my fall garden. I say let 'em in!

Ducks.....and my compost pile is also filled with poo too!

I'm thinking I will dehydrate the huge amount of tomatoes I have right now. Silly question, do you all peel before drying or is that necessary?

I LOVE morning glories in the morning, they are the best!

Besides practical, thats BEAUTIFUL!! Good job!

I got some free lattice off craigslist and have fenced everything that ducks and dogs can reach. Its great! But took me a few months to get everything built and they sure ate a bunch of stuff in the meantime. Good luck!

I agree with "obsessed" on the ingredients. I made this the other day and canned it. I did a quick blend of the ingredients (so makes it smooth if you like that) and then simmered it for about 20 or 30 minutes. Then pop into jars and water bath for about 30 minutes. Add or subtract those...

I pick mine and let them dry. I keep them in a sealed jar so don't know much about freezing them.

Me too! Let's see, what came first, the duck or the garden?? Do I have ducks to create compost or do I have the garden to feed the ducks?? I'm sooo torn as to who to feed the leftovers to, the ducks or the compost pile??? I'm so confused!

A few weeks ago I made currant jelly and mixed it with some mulberries.....fabulous. I, too, only had a couple of cups of currants so I rounded it out with the mulberries.

Think I'll try to pick and then dry further, that way I may get more production. Thanks for the advice!
