    Our strawberries are amazing. Well worth the rash I had from eating one. DH likes them in his cereal. I took the pie out of the plate, and cut it up into one inch cubes. The pie is hard like sea foam candy. The scout boys are going to love it on their trip.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I watered a little and pruned the lower branches off the tomatoes. I mowed and then we walked the pastures, pulling buffalo burr.

    CRUNCHY! like that sea foam candy. DH LOVES IT! It's been 24 hours, and I already added two, so the load took 22 hours, but I added that two because I wasn't ready. I just tested it at 24 and the pineapple isn't quite done. So I flipped them all over and added another 4. also got an avid armor...

    My chicken army is currently doing battle with Mulberry paratroopers. I shake the branches for them and they come running.

    We shall see. I made it in a chocolate graham crust and it's good like a normal pie. But I'll let you know on the FD bit in about 36 hours. DH LOVES the taste of pumpkin pie, but not the texture. I'm hoping this helps. AND I know it will be a hit at scout summer camp. If it turns out.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I walked the garden. The tomatoes look happy enough, so I'll prune them. So much rain and now humidity. I'll need to watch them for fungus now.

    Allergic to lavender. Shock, I know. I'll pull it from the hay anyway.

    OK the celery, carrot shreds, peas, and spring onions all came out gang busters. The horseradish and Sauerkraut did not, but that was my fault. NOTHING I have put in this mold tray in the deep freeze has come out, it's too dense and the drying process does not get to the center, even AFTER an...

    I've got SOME leaves, but no fruit yet. The birds are having a party with the Concords. I should net them.

    You can do meats and eggs no problem, just so they're not dripping in grease fat. Rinse them, freeze them, pop off any extra cold grease and freeze dry. As for accessories, I got my extra pans from Cabelas, but you have a small, no idea if they carry that size in store or online. The corner...

    Lavender doesn't overwinter here either. BUT, guess what I found growing in the middle of my hay field this week?!?!It's almost 18 inches high and 24 wide. It doesn't have a strong smell. At first I thought it was rogue Russian sage, but the leaves are all wrong, and the flower timing is wrong...
