Nothing. It just rained for 24 hrs. I have water standing between potato ridges and a small river cut through my bean patch and cucumbers. Oh well.

That'd make a Baptist shout.

Welcome to the dark side.

I planted my zucchini plants, yellow squash plants, and okra plants this evening. I did a few hills of each. We don't need that many.

Fry them up! They are tasty!!

We got sweet corn, bush beans, pole beans, tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers in the ground tonight. I am killed. That's 75% of my garden. Next week, okra, sweet potatoes, musk melon, watermelon, zucchini, summer squash, winter squash, and pumpkins.

My potatoes are coming back after the freeze. It did not take long at all! The weather was great today, and I hilled and weeded the potatoes. I got the broccoli tilled, and will fertilize tomorrow evening. I am hoping to get green beans, sweet corn, cucumbers, and tomatoes in the ground...

They are the most efficient couch potatoes you'll ever meet.

Ideally, you store foods that you rotate and replenish each season. Can what you eat then eat what you can. I am not the best at this. Currently, I have canned burger, stew meat, and sloppy joes on the shelf that have the same color, taste, and texture as they did in 2014. So, I can't really...

Absolutely. We preserve as much as we can in the bountiful years and eat on it for a long time.

I did the same thing for my fall batch. Cackle will deliver the first week of September, and I have mine ordered. I also have a batch of RIR coming next month. I anticipate killing and canning some hens this fall and want some suitable replacements.

Meat is high here, and is being rationed out. I just sent it at the grocery store. I did buy some spices really cheap to lay back.

I used to feed 24% protein feed, but I lost some. Did you lose any with that high protein feed?

One thing I do not understand is why anything that goes against the government narrative is censored... it's like they have something to hide...

Yes, and have for many years. If you have a good place to store it, then it will keep a long time. Vegetables, meals-in-a-jar and meats maintain color and appearance really well. Pickles, tomatoes, and fruit do not. I have never had anything inedible as long as the seal was intact.

I have her settled in the dog crate. She moved the eggs all the way to the front. I am not sure why.

I guess I am a big dummy! Canned food will keep much longer than two years. I have meat, fruit, and vegetables that are just as good as they were when they came out of the canner. If it looks good, smells good then it usually is good. Fruit and pickles usually hold up the worst. But meat and...

So, I ran the cost analysis on this project this evening. We were shipped 27 Cornish Rock Cross from Cackle Hatchery on March 17th. We slaughtered on May 12th. It was approximately 8 weeks. The lowest weight was 3 lbs 1 oz. and the heaviest weight was 5 lbs. 4.4 oz. I purchased all of the feed...

Thanks for sharing that. I had not heard it.

Yes! I am tickled. Sorry to hijack your thread!
