@jvls1942 I love that cutting board! I just spent $50 on a new cutting board from a Kitchen shop in town. I need to oil it, it seems pretty dry. But it would be nice to have one made to fit my sink!

the circular saw sharpener sounds like a wonderful addition to the shop. I may need to look into that for hubby's shop. I usually have homemade waffles in the freezer. Hub's likes Eggo waffles- not me, so I get to eat the yummy homemade ones. I used to have a waffle maker for the rectangular...

Some of my stuff is from Wyoming - it moved to Wisconsin with us, lol.

I have a chest freezer that I need to clean out. I know it has stuff in there from when we moved back to Wisconsin in 2014. There is a nice solid layer of ice that needs to be melted out of there.

Gardening question - I was given some garlic to plant - but the ground has frozen. What are my options - can i plant it in pots indoors, use the backhoe and dig a trench for the garlic and backfill with unfrozen compost, place it on the frozen ground and hill it with compost? any other...

Hope Everyone had a great Thanksgiving. Ours was good. Although we walked into a house full of smoke - the turkey was burning. Mom just turned off the roaster but left it plugged in. I unplugged it because I had a Nesco that had the thermostat (whatever it is called) go bad and would go...

We are in the zone for snow today - forecast is for 3" to 10". How is that for a stab in the dark? Hope we get the 3:, but we already have over 2", it is not even noon yet. Supposed to snow all day and night.

Ya, his mom had chickens when he was a kid so he knows a little bit about chickens.. He is excited to have fresh eggs.

@bruceha2000 Great ideas, but he seems to be an immediate results kind of guy. He has fish tanks and breeds fish but said absolutely not to raising chicks, lol. I have 14 hens right now. I have 2 that are being picked on very badly, so I told him I would sell him those 2 once he has his coop...

Anyone have any experience with "Honeyberries". I got a flier in the mail from Gurney's touting the greatness of Honeyberries. But not alot of information about the plant - size, growth rate, yield, etc. I plan to do a online search, but actual Wisconsinite experience would be appreciated.

Starting to think gardening here. I have a co-worker that wants to get chickens this spring - but he wants to buy ready to lay hens and not waste time raising out chicks. I told him that laying hens were expensive - his jaw dropped when I said about $25 each, but it might be higher since so...

We would have installed a wood stove instead of a pellet stove, but we don't have access to free wood nearby. In Wyoming, we had 2 woodstoves and access to all the beetle killed pine we could cut and haul. We went through almost 10 cord (full cord not face cord) a year. Furnace was only for...

The garden is done. Froze this morning. I need to get out and pull all the weeds and prep it for winter.

They were plucking out the seed corn - he would have great big bare patches in his field at germination. Not sure how the birds would find the buried seed, but they were very good at it.

Reminds me of the farmer I lived near years ago. Every spring a huge flock of turkeys would swarm out of the woods and follow behind the planter - picking the corn out of the ground as he planted it. His old farm dog had passed from old age and he wanted to "borrow" the neighbor's dog to chase...

We got rain, so most of the cherry tomatoes have split. Not sure what to do to prevent that. Any advice? How do I prevent tomatoes from splitting from the rain?

It is not a cucumber at all, the seed pod just kinda looks like one. It grows crazy fast. I looked it up, it is called Wild Cucumber Vine, lol. Here is a screen snip:

I see I missed a tendril growing up onto my lilac bush, I'll get it removed before it makes seed. The wild cucumber is growing along the top of the fence and up the back of the cedar also.

@jvls1942 nice to hear that your grapes are doing well.

We had raindrops raising dust all the time out in Wyoming, You could smell the rain coming because of the wet earth smell would replace the dry dusty smell - a good hard rainstorm would actually push a cloud of dust in front of it. lol Teh wild grapes are starting to take over around here. I...
