Moose interactions are fairly common to us so this isn't surprising, however it’s the boreing’est time of the year so i thought i’d mix it up a bit. Don't try this at home! https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2024/02/15/video-shows-anchorage-woman-shooing-moose-grocery-cart/

We certainly do and utilize far more than the fillet’s! Everything else goes in the drum and on-to the garden. Kinda, sorta like one of them symbiotic relationship things!😋 We have that dip net fishery here and each year 4-600 of us converge on the bank, in the mud, in a canoe or a truck...

The title says it all. New to us bug this year, found on Swiss Chard. Don’t seem to be a problem, just being pro-active incase new buggy comes back next year. recognize him?

This guys getting good at this1 https://www.alaskasnewssource.com/2022/08/30/telling-alaskas-story-pumpkin-man-alaska-dale-marshall-triumphs-again/.

Here in the Greatland it’s not uncommon to have power outages, most lasting less than 24 hrs, but depending on the time of year that can be 23 too many hours! During freezing weather the Rabbit’s heat, water pump and lights need constant power; any longer and i’d need to get the generator going...

This is a long way’s from a garden question but i was hoping some studious soul can identify the astronauts in this picture, besides the obvious one. John Glenn. My father (the rotund fellow) was a chief engineer on the ships used to pick these guys up way back when and i recently pulled out...

Having just posted a little ditty in the seed starting thread made me think to offer this. much of the how, when and why determining our collective ”move to the outdoors’ is based on our success during the transplant phase. The bigger things get, the harder they are to transplant! Around here...

Wipe dish with our beef tallow, drench with Olive oil, add 2 sprigs Rosemary, salt; bake @ 350 for 1 hour!

While making a batch of tea today, i decided to do a little pictogram - for anyone who may be interested. Pretty simple really, fill tea brewer to the desired level, add the dry ingredients - 2 cups each. Add the Microbe sources, 1 gal. Rabbit poop, 2 cups Black Soldier fly frass, 2 cups worm...

Over the 4th; i’ll be on the fish wheel for 3 days and expect to re-fill my fish hydroslate barrel with carcasses. They’ll need broken down before they’re useable and it will be next year before i need any of the stuff as i used up most of what was all ready in the barrel recently. not unlike...

When i retired from the Oil Industry 2 years ago i brought some “souvenirs” home with me for this project. It’s made from a 6 3/4 cone bit, 2 connecting rods, 2 horseshoes, 4 Ruston Gas Turbine blades and a fiberglass neck & head. never done any Steam Punk before and am looking for a special...

In a conversation with @ninnymary this came up and i offered to write this little diddy to give you some idea of the benefits of a simple drip set up. It will be written in two parts with pictures coming later today. if you travel regularly or are lazy like me or are concerned about water usage...

Where would we be without you? This is just a simple thank you for all that you've done thru the years. Don’t take them for granted, they’re a special blessing. All of us had one, some of you still do; give her a hug or a phone call today and make her day.

In an effort to consolidate my ”morning efforts”, i have begun moving the rabbit stuff over from BYH to this thread. Hope some of it is interesting to someone! Why do we do all this? It’s a simple enough question that will have many good and acceptable answers. Reflecting on my own situation...

You’ve seen some of this on my “one Alaskans Greenhouse” thread but with a new batch of Lactobacillus serum brewing, i thought it might be a good time to group all “the tools into one place”, which includes the lacto, fermented plant extract, aerated compost tea, Rabbit wine and a bucket full of...

These are entered here as they have nothing to do with the farm and shouldn’t be considered picture of the week submissions. They are simply some nice ones, of which i have over 100 from 15 years of boating in Prince William Sound and the Gulf of Alaska. hope someone enjoys them. Each has a...

Way back when, back when we had square wooden tires, we had a “pandemic” come rolling thru the land called Aids! It did and still does, impact people all across the globe and was a huge topic of discussion for many. In the early 80’s the Dental community was concerned due to the types of...
