My favorite way to make sourdough, use a ceramic coated cast iron dutch oven that I preheat to 400, then I crank up the heat to 450 with it sealed up for 25m, then take off the lid for another 25m. Using parchment paper to move my dough from the bowl to the dutch oven keeps it from deflating...

HA, I read this after my prior comment. That's what I get for replying before catching up to the current page. :P Seriously I pruned my grape vines this morning! Haha! :D

You are pre-freezing your food, right? Save some energy and freeze your foods in food storage bags in the trays; then cut them off of the food and pop them in the freeze dryer.

I had a dream last night that she turned out to be a rooster. 🤣 I'm blaming you! I'll take photos of mine today! 💚 Pants suck and so do shoes! Unless you're weed eating or using a power tool. 🤣 Ooooo! Nice bundle! We have a Kubota M6800 with the L1002 loader and a box scraper with manual...

I have one, pullet, I thought was a cockerel. You can look at my thread about her to see photos. She's always had a pretty red comb and waddles. For your flower seeds, did you check to see if any needed to be cold stratified? Some seed companies don't keep their seeds cold enough, and so you...

I use small crushed rock. We got it for laying pavers but never used it .... The bags started breaking down in the sun so I decided to use them between my beds. I have weeds these days but I could easily fix that, just haven't because some of it is chamomile, dill, and cilantro. I have a bunch...

My tomatillos got frozen before they ripened last year. DS smashed them all. Over. The. garden. I thought, "they were young, the seeds can't be viable". Oh how wrong I was. I'm going to have a ton of tomatillos this year. What's interesting is how much more impressive the volunteer plants are...

I prep as much as I can in advance. I've spent many, many 10+ hour days in the kitchen canning. 😂 I try not to do that anymore. We don't usually have unexpected cold rainy days. When we do, I am in the kitchen. 😁

One battle at a time! Glad you are home safe.

Thank you. Yeah I needed my own, and I got the 23qt because of that exact thing. If I'm going to can, I'm going to process as many jars at a time as I can. I don't have central air so it's important to heat the house as little as possible. Ooooo! Hollow out a spot in the center of the stump and...

My sweet baby. Rainy. Laying on me before my husband exploded a balloon on her and she ran away. 😂😭 Don't mind the salad master box, my brother in law has been selling it for like 25 years. I got a 12qt braiser at wholesale. I needed it. 😜 The starwars Legos, that's my DH. He also just got...

Planted my son's pumpkins today. Put up a trellis for tomatoes, just to have something more fun than the single stakes and cages. I removed my last hoop house covering! My ground level beds are doing good! I am so in love with my pollinator garden.... I love my little paradise. My last seed...

😍😍😍 They like to attack me when I somehow find them while wearing flip flops. 😭 My girls eat all of the leaves.... I had to get them away. This. I order mine from arbico-orgaincs.com I order most of my stuff from them. Their customer service and shipping is on point.

I watered today. Picked a bunch of kale for dinner, picked peas for salad. Took some photos of the corn and the peas that are getting to the top of the trellis' already.

The job sites I went to today, windy, cold, got sand blasted and my nose was running so much I just wiped it on my jacket and kept on working. However at one site I had to walk down the electrical runs, which led me to needing to walk through a refrigerated warehouse FULL OF PALLETS UPON PALLETS...

🤣 I think about the same. Today I have to go out to several job sites though. Two are huge crop fields so at least I'll see some veggies/ fruit growing. Hopefully it's not windy, I hate getting sand blasted. I read about people working in the garden in the pouring rain. It should motivate and...

We didn't get a "frost advisory" on the weather app until after bed time yesterday. I was smart and covered as much as I could, but I ran out of landscape plant pots so I didn't get everything. I haven't looked outside yet but I'm praying everything survives. It was clear as a bell last night...

My brother freeze dries raw eggs. He used to gift them to us before we got chickens. They reconstitute nicely for scrambles and baking.

I used to water my fruit trees using 5 gallon buckets with a small hole drilled in the side. Automatic drip lines are installed now. It's been a huge time saver. Ball grass, I've never heard it called that. 🤣 Sedge is pretty awful. One of my trees I got was potted, not bare root. It came with...

I just love tomatoes.... All varieties. I have 46 plants in the garden this year. Honestly I'll probably squeeze in a few more if I find new varieties at the nursery when I go.... Tomato math!
