My husband and I currently live on a little more'n an acre in the country. He'll be retiring before too much longer, and a move isnt out of the question. I would like to live on at least 10 acres, part wooded, part pasture, with maybe a small barn. Just enough for a huge garden, and maybe...

I wanting to make some HEAVY drapes for winter time. I feel sheets would be much lighter than I wanted. Any ideas on what I could make them out of?

Oh, no, I dont about the other person, but I blanched mine for about 4 min. Guess I didnt mention that huh lol.

Nugget, so I'm guessing that recipe is more of a frozen cream corn?? Sounds good, might have to try that. Was reading about dehydrating corn... they say it tastes better than frozen when you cook it up. Anyone try that?

I'm guessing he's grown regular tobaccy, not the wacky kind lol.

I bought a dozen ears of corn yesterday, we ate half, and I just froze the other half cut off the cob. Now is the season for getting corn for dirt cheap, and I'm wondering what your all favorites ways are to put it up.

I know a bunch of you heat with wood, and I'm curious about all your chimneys. Do you use stainless or masonry? Was looking at the stainless chimneys, and they're more than I'd pay for the stove itself lol. Just wondering what cost effective ways you all came up with for your chimneys.

<<We installed a new energy saving heating system and water boiler>> Are you talking an outdoor wood boiler for heating the house? If so, how does it work? We had a homemade one, but had a lot of problems with it.

Ok, thanks, that was helpful. Guess I'll give it a try.

Waiting impatiently to hear the answers. lol.

Ok, My dill is ready to be picked. Last year I used it fresh, but this year's been so screwed up that my pickles are still baby plants. What do I do with my dill while I'm waiting for my pickles to catch up? Just cut it and dry it? Also, the tops have big heads with yellow "flowers" what do...

Despite gardening all my life, composting is one thing I have never done. It always seemed like so much extra work. I've heard so many different things, like you need to have so much % green stuff x so much % brown stuff x this or that and stir stir stir all the time,.... Is it really that...

What!!! It's a federal law that you can't kill honey bees!! I dont know if there's any "groups" per se, but most all bee keepers will come and pick up bees, usually for under $50. (sometimes free). Most states have a bee keepers association, through which one could find a bee keeper in their...

Wine ingredients are much cheaper than the beer ones. www.ECKraus.com has free shipping over $25. Can buy the chemicals over there (all of them) for less than $15, a $3 airlock, and spend the rest on yeast. For $25 should be able to make a bunch of wine!

Yeah where I'm from in western ny they were ki-o-tees, here in IL though, they're ki-yotes... or just yotes.

Sure you have Yotes LOL. You just dont realize it. A "Yote" is a coYOTE. Ahhh now you know you have them, dont you? LOL But you probably pronounce it the eastern way... ki-o-tee as opposed to the western ki-yote. A large portion of my husband and my fall/winter income comes from trapping...
