What did you do in the garden today?
Just a heads up, don't buy a mason jar hand coffee bean grinder like I did. I recommend getting something like this heavy duty electric one. It's easy to use and works really well. I think it's about $59 on amazon. I just got mine today and I am impressed with the quality. SHARDOR Professional... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I was curious and wanted to taste the stem type lettuce called "Celtuce." I did a search on amazon, and I found some seeds. I ordered the purple and green ones. The flavor is described as nutty and refreshing, with a texture that's crunchy when raw and tender when cooked. Many gardeners enjoy... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I am upgrading my seed starting trays with this silicone bottom one from amazon. I prefer amazon's personal security because I can talk to a real person unlike eBay where it is impossible to talk to a live person. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I used to clean my ear with a Q-Tip but stopped using it after the inner part of my ear got irritated and infected. I knew about the warnings and only stuck the Q-tip near the entrance of my ear and not too deep. Now, I am trying a small disposable scoop one that is made out of hard plastic... -

This can of mackerel in salt brine makes a very favorable fish soup. I added 3 cups of water to it and made a Thai flavored fish soup. Current standards: U.S. FDA regulations prohibit the use of lead in food-contact surfaces. Manufacturers use BPA-free or epoxy linings to prevent corrosion... -
What did you do in the garden today?
I boiled some expensive black fermented oolong tea from China and mixed in some powdered milk and sugar. I don't like the taste of powdered milk but mixing it with black tea and sugar makes it taste good. I usually make bread with powdered milk and never drink it. I got the idea from the instant... -
What did you do in the garden today?
Now that I got the general taste of it, I conclude that a dark homemade brew of black tea, brown sugar and milk taste a lot better than instant bubble tea without the small, sweetened tapioca balls. The small tapioca jelly balls don't really change the taste other than making it a little sweeter... -

I ordered an instant bubble milk tea mix out of curiosity from amazon. I never tried them.................. -
What did you do in the garden today?
My 7 Red Star male chicks started to baby crow, so I bought a transport cage to process them at 2 to 3 lbs. I have an animal cage with a door on the side which makes it difficult to catch them. The transport cage has a sliding door on top making it easier to catch them. I choose this transport... -
Is this a good incubator?
When I first plugged in my chickcozy incubator I could turn the bars with the check button, but it didn't flip on the timer. It started working after I pulled the turner cable out and put it back in. Maybe your chickcozy is still okay. Also, I tilt the eggs forward as far as it can go around 45...- cj2024

Is this a good incubator?
My chick cozy incubator is still working, I wonder how long it will last. Did your chick cozy incubator burn out? At first, I had to unplug the turner cable and re-plug it back into the top of the incubator for my turner to work. Have you tried that?- cj2024

What did you do in the garden today?
I built this coop with 3 sliding wood doors. At first, I thought it was a good idea, but the birds could fit through the space, so I ended up zip tying chicken wire onto it. I raised 15 Cornish Cross in this coop and butchered them at 2 months old. Their poop falls through the 1 x 1/2-inch... -

I baked a whole duck in a Dutch oven and feel guilty about eating the skin. -
What did you do in the garden today?
One of my Isa brown male chicks bit the back part of my leg as they were following me to the coop and got away with it. I may have hit the wrong guy. -
What did you do in the garden today?
I got to try this watermelon graft after I figure out how to grow pepper plants in my area. I can grow vine squash in my yard, so I may be able to pull it off.
