There is an office for Backwoods Home in my hometown, which is 32 miles away from me now. I know one of the editers/writers, he...

Some are starting to die back because it has been so hot. And the berries are smaller this year and they...

    SunSaver thanks for the tip. I will try that with my other bushes. But these worms are not on the outside of the berry. But inside. You can some times see them where the stem was. Or if you pull the berry in half. Well if I had chickens I may feed them the ones that I suspected of having the...

    My family goes to my aunts farm on the coast (Sea Level) to can. And then take every thing back home which is at 1500 feet. They may travel at a higher altitude than that, but I dont know what it is. I believe they have never lost much to them unsealing. Maybe a couple over the years, but they...
