    Truck load of Woodchips

    I have a big pile in the middle of my side yard. It contributes to my goal of not having so much grass to mow. Its bigger than it looks, this is just a part of it, it was a pickup load.

    is anyone involed with Plant a row for the hungry?

    I had heard about it but this year the rain got the best of me and my garden. I usually do give my extras to neighbors anyway, they dont have a lot but they do have a finishing mower so its kind of like a trade for use of it. I plant tomotoes even though I dont like them and give them away.

    Growing Black Walnut From Seeds

    I was wanting to get some started too. My dad has a large tree in his yard so I can get them from there. He is planning on having it cut down, its old and most definitely hollow, if it goes it will be on my grams house. But there are several smaller ones near by, maybe 10 - 15 years old.

    I just remembered this one, not like it sits in my side yard and I see it every day or anything. This wheel barrow sat for free outside a business. its beat up, cant use it but makes an excellent decoration. It looks real pretty in the summer with a big fern inside. And I have no idea what...

    Decorating with what nature gave you

    I love decorating with the "weeds" I find this time of year. Makes a beautiful decoration and costs me nothing. The large pumpkin and the green one I grew. The green one was my Big Max that the dog dug out (gggrrrr). The hollow logs my son brought home when cutting up logs. theres a...

    Anyone Know This Bush?

    it would make an excellent screen its just that it is impossible to control. There is a large patch of it down the road from here and all they can do it cut it down a couple times a year because it blocks the view around a tight corner on the road.

    Stuffed Green Peppers...

    im jealous for everything you have put up. I see you have frozen corn on the cob. Ive been wanting to try this for a long time but I dont know anyone who has. What do you have to do before you freeze it and do you have to thaw it before you cook it when you take it out?

    Butternut squash

    my mom always used it for pie and it was great. They are just a real pain to peel. Have a very sharp knife and watch your fingers.

    Should I let the chickens in?

    maybe you can lend some insight to this problem. He did have to spread some fresh because he didnt get enough over the winter. And he had a problem with some soybeans not comming up so well. He thought it was a problem with the weed killer that was supposed to be compatible. Do you think the...

    Should I let the chickens in?

    ammonia nitrate is the whole reason my dad fertilizes all his fields with chicken manure. Chicken manure is an excellent source and much cheaper than buying the fertilizer, which became more expensive and harder to get after Oklahoma City. He starts getting it in the fall and lets it sit on...
