    @Chic Rustler there really is no comparison, I've missed chickens and super fresh eggs @Mini Horses it kinda does, and eating up the eggs won't be a problem, we usually end up buying another 15 dozen every week or week an a half Thank you :) I'm hoping to expand through the backyard better...

    @baymule Thank you! I'm hoping for no thieves, but I suppose as long as their considerate, dont damage my garden and pull some of the dang weeds I might look the other way. More so I'm hoping to entice others into doing the same to their yard, with luck there will be at least a few more...

    Not just preventative for yourself catching it but if your one of the lucky who are asymptomatic or suspect you had it snd recovered you help protect others by wearing the mask at least.

    Growing out of season

    Pumpkin can be saved and dehydrated for later personal use. I love pumpkin leather~ Though hard squashs/pumpkins can be used throughout winter for human and animal feed if stored proper

    Growing out of season

    You could do grow tunnels, that kind of frosted plastic around hoops, itll make it warmer and help extend a bit longer. Not sure how well itll work once snow starts. Debating on where at you could find out local shoulder crops. We can do shoulder crops of squash and corn here, so long as their...

    Found out my city is going to cut a lot of programs this upcoming fiscal year, currently to include shutting down our recycling programs "indefinitely" :( preparing for an onslaught of garbage ahoy everywhere. This sucks as I just finally got almost everyone in the household to understand what's...

    Booooo, hopefully they will sprout soon! I've got to find my seeds, n sow some more and order some more while I can. These have been working on growing since probably i wanna say November? They woulda been done a lot sooner if it hadnt kept getting below 40 at night throughout December and...

    Coronavirus Concern Up

    Dang! 50 lbs?!? Lots of carrots! Dont forget to shred em and cook em with rice in stir fry (or in veggie stirfry)~ I also cheat and shred some up real fine and mix it with meatloaf, meatballs or sloppy Joe's to get some of the picky veggie eaters at home to eat them. Carrot bread too...

    We learned how to process a pig mostly once it's dead not too long ago, sorta on the kill process (someone put a gun in the ear and we waited till it was done in the death throes) definitely was a task but an accomplish able one. I think currently I prefer chicken and bird butcher n process...

    Coronavirus Concern Up

    As to not knowing how to cook, I dont really blame younger generations. It's a multi generational problem. Most kids used to learn that skill from parents. Most parents both started working, so only gave basic lessons or none to the oldest children who in turn gave the same or less to the...
