You have to blanche them first, otherwise they get gross. -
Preserving Your Harvest
Potatoes - who preserves them? This is my first year growing them, should I can them or freeze them? I don't have a good place to store them fresh so I must preserve. Thoughts? -
What did you do in the garden today?
My husband always reminds me of how expensive our first dozen eggs was, lol. Whatever, I know where my eggs come from & that my girls live the life. Same thing with the garden, it doesn't save me any money - but I know what I'm eating (or not eating, really). Hey all. Drizzling out there... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I was surprised, it seems so early. I found it dead, floating in the dogs outdoor water bowl. They aren't here en masse yet, but it won't be long. I'm glad I'm not the only one with peach issues, lol. I had SO many peaches too but the tree is young so I knocked off a lot of them so branches... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Wow, peaches already huh? What did you can - like sliced peaches or pie filling or something? Curious as this is my first year that my peach tree has produced. I don't know if I'll get anything tho, I just thinned the peaches & a bunch have teeth marks (stupid squirrels) and the rest are... -

The weather today is just awful, isn't it @Wee Farmer Sarah? I put a fan on the girls at night, but I can't leave the door open because there are too many bears hanging around right now. I saw the first Japanese Beetle yesterday, joy. Garlic is starting to fall over (softneck), eyed a few... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Yea, cool weather crops are good here too! We had radish chips in the air fryer last night, they were good. & a big salad. My spinach already bolted, but it always does so much better in fall anyway. I did get out & fertilize the onion/carrots greenstalk, the peppers one & the misc one. I... -

Hey garden peeps! Been a while since I checked in, things were a little crazy round here for a bit but have settled back down. Garden is doing nothing, it's been way too cold (and rainy). It was 42 degrees here yesterday - that's redic in June! It's supposed to be warm this week so hopefully... -

How are all the southern snow folks managing? I hear it's gonna get REAL cold for you in a couple days. We got a teeny dusting. Just enough that I need to put the cleats on to go outside. 🙄 -
What did you do in the garden today?
Hey all. Nothing happening here, too cold to even go outside. 🥶 I wouldn't mind the wind & cold if we at least had some snow! Not a flake in sight. My reds have picked up laying again. Good girls. I need to start planning what I'm going to start indoors & go thru seeds. Not feeling very... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I should put the camera out there & see if we see anything happening. I assume they are climbing the HC (the ground) & trying to climb over the hot wire & are getting zapped. I'm not sure they're smart enough to jump over it & not touch the hot wire, but maybe you're right. I wonder if the... -
What did you do in the garden today?
With all the mouse talk I thought I'd show you my husbands insane idea to keep the mice from destroying the vehicles... 1/4 in hardware cloth, apron burried under stone with a hot wire run across the top. We haven't had a single mouse inside the DMZ (De Moused Zone as my husband calls it, lol)... -
What did you do in the garden today?
That's hilarious. & I thought the $250 a year for the Corvette was redic! I have a very large stack of catalogs to go thru... Not much happening here. Unplugged & uncovered the lettuce/spinach Greenstalk, it didn't survive the 8 degree cold last night. That's sad, but I'm happy to have had... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Lettuce & spinach still going strong. Yay. -

I don't eat fruitcake, but my Mom does - I bought her one from here last year & she loved it. Expensive tho! She used to make her own & it was such a looong process. She spent months & months basting that thing. https://www.grandmasbakeshoppe.com/collections/fruitcakes I'm headed out to see...
