My hens don't hurt the plants once they have grown and become established, but they will do a number on new little sprouts. They consider it a gourmet buffet! Good luck to you :)

Thank you! I've been so busy the past couple of weeks, I haven't been back to check on my thread. We had two refrigerators go out this week, one containing all the produce i've picked to be canned this weekend. Ugh.. I'll try both, thank you!

Does anyone have a good recipe for hot chow chow? My hubby recently bought a jar from an Amish store that he really liked, and I cannot find anything that seems to duplicate it. The jar we have has green tomatoes, celery, carrots, peppers and some other things that are cut to small for me to...

Is it possibly too wet? When my pile gets rank, it is because I let it get too wet, and the anaerobic bacteria start partying in there. If that is the case, turn it a little more frequently and add some more dry browns to it to get things settled down again, and if you can, cover the top with...

Oh! I want a greenhouse so bad! If I had received one for Christmas, it would probably have been up that evening :) Have fun with it!

I have two dutch ovens that go on every camping trip that we take during the year. I absolutely love mine! Basically, cook anything in it that you would bake or roast in your oven at home. I have a chart (for charcoal) that makes a good guideline for how much heat you are building inside, but...

I thought all watermelons were single serving :lol: I agree, you can't go wrong with the sugar babies. Not only are they super sweet, but they stay small and produce quite a few melons. I love the color of the rinds too, makes a striking piece of melon with the deep green rind and deep red flesh.

Hi, I am brand spanking new to this forum, but I recognize you from BYC and SS (i think)! I didn't know that this forum existed, and I am so excited to find it. I have been wanting to experiment with a cold frame myself, actually, have been wanting to enclose my compost pile in glass or...
