    Super easy pole beans. Video

    Nice. I grew pole beans just one year. I planted them by the corn so I could use the stalks for support. It didn't work too well in this Kansas wind. This system looks pretty sturdy.

    DIY Compost Bin ideas

    I did an actual compost pile just twice. One time it actually smoldered in the center. I was stunned when I got in there and there was a pile of ashes. :hu After we moved out to the sticks, I just put up a fence ring and threw stuff into it throughout the year. That worked pretty good and was...

    Homemade Orange Sherbet

    I think regular milk won't have enough fat in it to get the same results. I know it would freeze really hard. But I bet it would work if you added some cream to it. What'cha think?

    Old Fashioned Rhubarb (or Cranberry) Pudding Cake

    OR The original recipe called for 2 cups of rhubarb. We didn't have any, but had gobs of frozen cranberries. Since they're both tart, we figured the cranberries would be good. And they were. So, use 2 cups of which ever one you want.

    Popcorn and a movie. We had biscuits and gravy plus a side of scrambled eggs for breakfast. That'll hold 'em over for a few hours.

    Old Fashioned Rhubarb (or Cranberry) Pudding Cake

    I'm pretty iffy on rhubarb. My mom would make strawberry rhubarb jam, rhubarb custard (?) pies... I thought it was all okay with the jam being wonderful. The first time I had rhubarb pie at a family reunion here, husband's side of the family, I almost passed out. Sour, tart, terrible stuff. But...

    Old Fashioned Rhubarb (or Cranberry) Pudding Cake

    This rhubarb or cranberry pudding cake is easy to make using fresh or frozen fruit. A simple hot water trick allows the cake to make it's own sauce while baking. Use 2 cups chopped rhubarb or cranberries. If using frozen, let it thaw in the pan for a bit. Put into a 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Yes, I use a chamber. I got a bigger purse so I could haul that thing with me when I go somewhere. As time goes on, I'm having to use it more often, which sucks, but breathing is a good thing. I'm just one of those people that have reactions to a lot of stuff. I hate it. I try to eat as healthy...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I sure am now!! LOL Actually, I've been using inhalers for several years now and that's just a side effect for some of us. I usually rinse, but some times it wasn't practical.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Procured three tomato plants for our daughter. Decided to give her my cherry tomato plant as my mouth is reacting BADLY to tomatoes now (because of inhaled medicines). I had three cherry tomatoes yesterday and am now sporting a new canker sore and 2 cracks in my upper lip. Good times. :barnie...
