    WHAT ARE YOU CANNING TODAY?

    Well..... as it turns out, the 6mo calf that is part of a small herd staying with me has discovered the free milk bar and I haven't gotten any fresh in days... Her owner is (supposedly) working on getting them back home soon. Until then, what little milk I'm getting is getting used up. So no...

    I have said over and over again how aware and thankful I am that my garden is a hobby and not the single source of food for my family. How many days have I complained that my air-conditioned house was 'too warm' to run the canner and lost half a basket of tomatoes that ended up as chicken feed...

    Is Our Economy Going To Crash?

    I have a generator - we get hurricanes in VA too. ;) What I meant was that as much as I'd like to log into amazon and order up the biggest and badest dehydrators, canners, solar powered this and that, etc. - I will make do with the give-away/hand-me-downs & 'entry level' purchases until I am...

    Is Our Economy Going To Crash?

    I have been trying to learn 'new' skills over the years that will serve me well when resources become harder or more expensive to get. Raising livestock, growing a garden, composting, etc. I don't see any sense in going broke getting tools & equipment to get me through a depression that might...

    Laugh(s) for the day

    Sumi, years ago I worked in a veterinarian's office. One of our clients was Mr. Huzzey. He had 2 golden retrievers named Shameless and Brazen. We loved stepping out into the waiting room with our clipboard and saying "Shameless Hussy? Is there a Shameless Hussy here?" LOL!!!!!

    Tell Me Why This is a BAD Idea

    We were just discussing over on BYC that black walnut in/on the soil will stop anything else from growing. Not sure if it still can do that once it passes through a pig's gut... but worth checking into... Curious - you mentioned adding another animal... Is there some reason they have to...
