Thanks for the posts and the clarification on the pressure canner/cooker. I took some tools back to my eldery neighbors,and the wife was canning some strawberries she cooked,so I questioned her a bit too. She agreed that you need the pressure canner for stuff like green beans. I think this...

My cats still hiss at each other,and they have been together for 5 or more years.2 of our cats are sisters. I think you just let it go unless there is some serious cat attack fights. Eventually both will learn to share the shelter.

I have been using tote boxes for a while now too. Tired of the cats peeing over the side of regular litter boxes. Good idea to cut a hole for those cats that can not jump in/out. I recently got a boodah litter box at goodwill for $3,but that is a nest box for my chickens.

Thanks for the posts. Hoping to decide what to do and built it soon. Thinking maybe to build this one instead with landscape timbers. http://homeschooling_101.blogspot.com/2008/05/build-your-own-clothes-line-right-now.html

Hello! I bought some 8 foot posts to make a cloths line. I was wondering what is the maximum distance between the posts? If it makes any difference on the distance I am debating making a T cothsline line that will have 2 or 3 lines on it,or I will just drill a hole into the post to tie one line.

Maybe some elderberry syrup will help.

I have a lot of activity on the buckwheat and alfalfa plants.

I saw my neighbor hanging hers. I have wanted a clothline since she put hers in last year. I am making one. Dh bought me a metal umbrella one that broke the first time I set it up. Not MY fault the cheap thing broke.

I would save it. It is rare to get equal or more that it is worth.Everyone wants to get a good deal.

wash cloth soaked in eyebright tea. I used that to clean the morning gunk,and then a few drops into the clean eye. Might have tossed in a goldenseal teabag too.

I learned the dreaded kudzu is edible. And my stinging nettle is good in a stir fry or omlette
