^^Yes, this.
Im sorry but Im not familiar with your growing zone. Are you able to grow peppers? One year DH & I had more Jalapeno peppers than we could use and can. We had a food dehydrator so we dried some and went out and bought a cheap coffee grinder at Walmart. We had some old spice...
Thanks for the suggestion, dickiebird! I'll check into the materials and see if/how that can work. I'm not familiar with working with metal. How easy would it be to bend the top of corrugated metal? I'm thinking about if I have to place my hand on it in case I have to steady myself. Would...
Thanks, catjac. I haven't gotten to that point yet. My surgery would have been to cut out the tear/flap part. My brother's girlfriend had it done and she says her knee gives out on her every once in a while. Because your cartilages stabilizes your knees, I believe her. And because our house...
Hi all,
Last May I tore a cartilage in my left knee. I decided to get a cortisone shot over surgery and Ive been babying my knee since. Because of my knee, DH and I are thinking about building a waist high garden bed or 2. (If I tear my cartilage again, Ill be back to wearing my leg brace...
We have an Aroma. If I remember correctly, I think you can get them at Walmart. Ours quit working not too long ago after having it several years. If DH hadn't fixed it (a wire came loose) I would have bought another one. It's round and has a little motor in it that turns the trays. The...
I should have come on here and complained about not getting any rain a couple of week ago. About 3 hrs after my post we got a heavy rain and it's rained every day since! :weee
Thanks for the zucchini candy recipes, you guys! I can't wait to try different flavors.
I think DH thought I was making a mistake when I tried dehydrating my first batch of cherry tomatoes because I placed them cut side down without thinking they might stick. I got lucky because they didn't...
I love our dehydrator. You're only limited by your imagination so experiment with anything that comes to mind. One year we had too many jalapenos. After de-seeding them, we dried them and grounded them up in a cheap coffee grinder into a powder. We loved having jalapeno pepper pepper so...
vfem, I am sooo jealous! We didn't get a drop but then again, we live about 2 1/2 - 3 hrs from you so I'm not surprised. DH works about 20 miles from the house and there have been way too many times that it rained there and not here. I'm getting so tired of these days of 100+ temps.
I saw on...
Thanks for the tip, April. But after reading up on it, I'm not so sure how the butterfly larva would like it or the frogs. Would you know if parasitic nematodes would affect either one?
We don't have much in the way of garden decorations but out of the little we do have my 2 favorites are my little "At one with nature" sign.
And our birdbath.
The poor dear knocked herself silly one day when she flew into our sliding glass door. When I went to investigate the sound, I found her slumped over leaning on her beak on the deck. I was scared I might forget she was there, let the dogs out and get trampled so I picked her up. When she...
I think he has set up home. On some nights, I find him on our back deck (he has to jump up 11 steps to there) but most nights I find him in the yard. Last night was the first time I found him with the cabbage.
